Description

The Kharma Exquisite Collection is recently complemented with the Exquisite Extreme Grand, which materializes the absolute end of the high-end in audio. The Exquisite Grand already had claimed this extraordinary level, but Kharma proves again with this successor that we go beyond limits of audio engineering. However Kharma always can deliver more than already is proven. The Exquisite Extreme Grand limited edition proves this once more. Only 25 pairs will be made of this very special and unique version of the Exquisite Extreme Grand.

The uniqueness of this limited edition exists of:

· Each finish detail of the limited edition of the Extreme Grand can be personalised to great extend and will be specially selected in consultation with the proud new owner. This high personalisation includes a special serial
number plate with the signature of the founder of Kharma and the customer name.

· The Extreme Grand is already the first ultra high-end loudspeaker in the world that is totally driven by composed based drivers. However, in the limited edition these drivers are even further refined by upgrading the drivers with the Kharma Extreme Signature (KES) process. This process exists of many proprietary techniques to further enhance the musicality of the system.

· The internal wiring is fully Enigma Extreme Signature quality, which contains very exclusive mono atomic silver. This internal wiring will only be used in this limited edition of the Extreme Grand.

· The whole cabinet has been treated with the KES-process involving antiresonance techniques

· This loudspeaker will be setup by Kharma technician and includes a Kharma Enigma Extreme Signature loudspeaker cable set of 2 meters.

The Exquisite Extreme Grand limited edition is in one breath a highly personalised loudspeaker specially treated with Kharma Extreme Signature processes in every detail.


Features

The Exquisite Extreme Grand is the successor of the Exquisite Grand, which was up till now the most sophisticated dynamic loudspeaker system in the world. However, the Extreme Grand takes in this place with pride. It is a virtual point-source system, where the centre Diamond tweeters project the image very precise with incredible stage depth, height and width. The human hearing perceives the whole sound field from the Extreme Grand as if being emanated from a single point that contributes to a very natural soundstage, sometimes small when recording space was small, sometimes very large when the recording was like that.

Cabinet

The massive cabinet is made of high pressure laminate (HPL) in a multi-layer construction. The cabinet is a piece of art in every way, from the use of perfect materials to construction and finish, all are exceptional. The use of HPL plates causes the mechanical vibrations of the cabinet to damp to almost zero. This damping of the mechanical vibrations of the cabinet is important, because the cabinet should absolutely have no contribution to the sound field itself. For this reason the cabinet should not emanate vibrations, which is realised by the material of the cabinet. Moreover the whole cabinet has been treated with the KES-process
involving anti-resonance techniques.
The combination of the extreme dense HPL multi-layer construction, sophisticated acoustical damping and the special KES-treatment of the cabinet for this limited edition makes sure the cabinet is in perfect condition.

Crossover

This Exquisite loudspeaker can only achieve astonishing musicality by using complex crossover techniques, which can be seen as the beating heart of this loudspeaker. This complex in-house developed crossover will lead all drivers to the right music composition.
Therefore the crossover can be seen as an orchestra conductor, which will have to turn the information received through the loudspeaker cable into a musical spectacle as if it was read from a music sheet.
Kharma has mastered the art of retaining musical wholeness with the proprietary crossover technique used in the Exquisite Extreme Grand. This technique is seldom used by other manufacturers because of its complexity. This results in the Kharma crossover where simply is no gap in information.


Stand

Mechanical residual vibrations of the cabinet are terminated by the Spike Disk Suspension System (SDSS) by minimising the contact area between the cabinet and the floor. The SDSS stand also provides a fixed and levelled orientation for the cabinet drivers, because each spike can be adjusted individually in the vertical direction.

Extreme Signature treatment

The Extreme Grand Exquisite limited edition comes with the Kharma Extreme Signature treatment, which is first of all implemented to improve the structure born vibrational properties of the driver chassis and secondly to enhance the magnetical field handling as well as proprietary techniques. Furthermore the incredible attention to detail has led to the use of pure gold and mono atomic silver metallurgic alloys for internal cabling. These internal cables have been refined by the proprietary KES-processes, which are belonging exclusively to the
Extreme Signature treatment. As a result the Extreme Grand Exquisite limited edition has now struck an unbelievable level of detail.
The connection of this loudspeaker is executed in the Silver/ Gold Signature version of the Kharma Binding Post System (KBPS-SGS). The connection is made of very pure, solid silver/gold alloy, which has exactly the same metallurgical alloy as the Kharma cables. In addition the connection is also treated with the proprietary
treatments of Kharma to influence the conductance behaviour.


Drivers

· High-frequency: 2 x 1-inch Diamond concave tweeter
· High / Mid-frequency: 2 x 4-inch Ultra-High Modulus Kharma Composite Driver
· Mid-frequency: 2 x 7-inch Ultra-High Modulus Kharma Composite Driver
· Low-frequency: 2 x 15-inch High Modulus Sandwich 10 mm thickness

Kharma Composite Driver

The Extreme Grand is totally equipped with composite based drivers and therefore is unique in the world. All loudspeakers in the Exquisite Collection were already equipped with Diamond tweeters, but now Kharma has even gone one step further by this new feature.
Moreover the drivers are selected and upgraded with the special Kharma Extreme Signature process, which involves many proprietary techniques to further enhance the musicality of the system.

High Modulus drivers

The 15-inch woofers, the High Modulus Sandwich Kharma Composite Drivers, are especially developed to be able to deliver a very detailed bass. These woofers are equipped with a new cone technology developed by Kharma. It consists of ultra hightech rocket science/formula 1 based fibres.

Ultra-High Modulus drivers

The Ultra-High Modulus 4-inch and 7-inch composite drivers are even made of a finer ultra high-tech fibre, which as a consequence increases the stiffness of the cones even more than already is the case by the High Modulus composite drivers. This obtained extra stiffness is utilized to produce the mid- and high-frequency range with incredible detail.

Diamond concave tweeter

Without a doubt the quality is guaranteed by using two Diamond tweeters as a standard in the Exquisite Extreme Grand. These high-frequency drivers are true technological wonders. The tweeters have a diamond cone which have been realised by the so called CVD process. With this process incredible stiffness is reached with a minimum of thickness of only 50 μm. Notice a human hair is in the range of 17 to 180 μm. The cone is the most essential part of the tweeter and because this cone is made of Diamond the tweeter is capable to create impressively pure high frequencies.

Description

New materials and new techniques gave us the wings to further approach reality as the absolute reference in the Kharma Exquisite Collection. The far-reaching attention to detail makes this speaker range a class of its own. The new Exquisite Midi Sub extends this unique speaker range and will therefore lead to new possible system combinations within the Exquisite Collection.

The new Exquisite Midi Sub is based on its predecessor the Exquisite Sub, however this new Midi Sub is equipped with the new 15-inch High Modulus Sandwich Kharma Composite driver. This Composite driver is fully developed by Kharma and consists of an ultra high-tech rocket science/formula 1 based fibre.

The woofer is placed in a cabinet made of an extremely dense material and finished with wooden Macassar
parts. Furthermore, the Midi Sub is complemented with a trimming ring for the woofer and side trimming to match with the entire Exquisite collection. The carbon-look of this woofer in combination with the beautiful style elements lead to an impressive finish of the new Exquisite Midi Sub.

Dimensions

The Exquisite Midi Sub is more modest of size than its predecessor the Exquisite Sub.
Instead of an 18 inch woofer, the 15 inch High Modulus Sandwich Kharma Composite Driver determines the size of this new Exquisite subwoofer.

MP1000本來的雛型看起來是把麡(找不到,將就一下)皮平貼在機殼上方
但後來CES展又拿掉只剩金屬機殼
最後定案應該是兼顧耐熱與外觀質感考量,改移到前面板

這一波新品有名牌精品的味道
雖然原來Exquisite系列就有歐洲頂級家具的影子

不知道Kharma 喇叭的聲音是怎樣的 ?
有沒有聽過的師兄或用家可以分享一下 ?

本人在以kharma CRM 2.3F为主的音响系统
kharma的喇叭比较挑剔功放的搭配
搭配不好低音有些延后拖尾
功放的速度一定要快
之前有搭配GOLDMUND MIMESIS 18.4M
声音也非常理想
但GOLDMUND功放不适合搭配胆前级（我的是EAR912）
实在是不安全
功率管有一个声道全部挂掉
修好了不敢再继续用下去了就卖到二手店里了
因为不敢卖给个人、:P
原来就一直不敢去二手器材店里买音响
今后就更加的不！！！！！

现在后级是ARC VM220的后级
现在的系统比用GOLDMUND MIMESIS 18.4M时
声音除了速度、瞬间的爆发力有一点点差别
剩下的是样样都有大幅度的提升
特别是声音的密度得到了极大的提升、温暖而又有厚度中频
低音的延伸感觉又下去了几个zh

个人感觉从KHARMA身上的设计理念可以看到有Wilson Audio喇叭的影子
不过声音上我更加喜好KHARMA

小弟最近打開Kharma的網罩
發現陶瓷中音的懸邊有白色的霉點
卸下螺絲之後
還是無法順利把陶瓷中音上的金屬保護網拿下來
請問各位Kharma的專家
要怎麼取下這個金屬保護網?

謝謝!
