Karan Acoustics and ML?

[Mr Swede]

Anybody using Karan Acoustics with any Martin Logan speakers?
I have a KA 180 I that I just love, and it plays nicely with my Audio Physic
Tempo 5

I´m planing to buy ML Vistas (probobly) in a near future so it would
be interesting to know how this brand work with ML...

Hello Mr. Swede,
Sweet looking amp. Can you tell a little about it?
My amp and CDP were made around the corner from you. OK, maybe not, but in your home country - Primare made in Sweden. Beautiful gear, and I love them as well. The amp drives my Ascents beautifully, and at only 75 wpc.

I have had Primare gear earlier, The CD21 and the older amp model A30.1.
But the Karan is one of the best integraded I´v heard...

Am using the KAS270 to drive my Summits (in conjunction with the Anthem Statement D2). A big improvement on my old Classe DR25/DR6 in terms of stage presence and low end authority.

Thank you, Mr. Swede. Yea, the bigger brother has a lot more power. It's actually 2 separated power amps (2 power cords) in a single chassis. Don't know the rational for that as moving it anywhere requires a forklift, well almost. Quite a few of my friends use it to drive the big JMLabs.

Karan appears to have a good design technically in their amps, but I wish they're a bit more practical physically - like putting the power switch in a more accessible location rather than right behind between the connectors at the bottom. As if the user is expected to leave the amp on 24/7 once switched on.

Happy listening.
