i've known David Karmeli since 2001 when he sold me Kharma Exquisite 1D's as the then new Kharma N.A. Distributor. loved those speakers and grew to respect David for his depth of knowledge and experience in the hobby. he is one of the sharpest high end audio guys i know.
over the last few years I'd read and heard about Steve's, Marty's, Ron's and Ked's visit to Utah to hear David's shrine of 50's horns and tt's. i had determined to visit David and hear the magic for myself if i found myself in Las Vegas with a free day.
so in January i did have occasion to have a business trip planned to LV for mid February with a free day. i contacted David and set up the time. then my dear wife found out she needed Hip Replacement surgery on February 1st. so i had to wait until i knew she would be ok by herself before i knew for sure i could go. which did work out......and Wednesday morning at 9am i left my hotel to drive the 200+ miles to David's place in Cedar City, Utah.....knowing i had to be back at my Hotel for a 7pm business dinner.
my agenda for this visit was nothing as deep and investigative as Ked's. i would only be at David's for the afternoon, and i wanted to simply experience this perspective on the hobby and enjoy the magic of David's system. as i flew back this afternoon from LV and was at work then for a few hours, I'm now pretty exhausted. but i figured i would post some pictures tonight and then add more comments tomorrow......but at least get the ball rolling before too much time had gone by.
