Acora Acoustics' QRC 2 floorstanding loudspeaker was in a league above the rest of the components in my rig, much the same as the Kharma speaker was when I bought it twenty years ago. I spent that time wringing more performance out of the Kharma with every tweak and upgrade of the system, enjoying music more as I went along. With the handful of upgrades I've made since the QRC 2 arrived, I think Val would be impressed with the improvement.
Right now, Acora Acoustics' QRC 2 feels like an end game, performing at the level of the best rooms I hear at shows, most often with far more expensive systems costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The tonal color (timbre, if you wish), resolution of inner detail, macro and micro dynamics, transparency, and the effortlessness it brings to the listening experience put the Acora QRC 2 solidly among world-class speakers.
