Arkprof, Thanks for your comment. I pick these spks for it's sonic performance first, then it's eccentric design 2nd. Also they are unlike anything i have ever seen before :)

Vhiner, Shunyata Research products are very popular in these parts of the world. However, a good friend of mine suggest that the conditioners from Audio Magic is much more suitable for my setup. I tend to believe him as he has the same spks as i and our sonic taste is pretty similar. However, i willl still pick up the Shunyata and have a listen myself. Thanks for the recommendation.

Mapman, Thanks for your comments. The beautiful thing about the pursuit of sonic nirvana is that everyone has their own path to such end. A glance at your system list shows that you have a really meticulous ensemble. I must admit i have not audition anything close to what you have there but i am sure it sounds heavenly. N'joy in good health!

Mcmahon441, The Karas have been replaced by the Karissima. They have made pretty significant changes to the Bass ports and Bass drivers. Have you tried contacting Cabasse Acoustic Centre direct? Their export assistant manager is a really lovely person to speak with. I am sure she will be able to direct you to the nearest dealer. I got mine in Hong Kong. The last time i checked, they still have a Piano Gloss finish Kara left. But it's going for a huge premium due to it's exotic finish.
