Elegance S7

Description

The Elegance collection is succeeding the very successful Ceramique line of high-end
loudspeakers from Kharma. The Ceramique loudspeaker line was introduced in 1998
and the use of Ceramique-based drivers was the reason for naming this series like we
did.

During the past years Kharma has been researching new technologies as how to
improve and set a new standard again to the high-end audio world. We are very proud
now to offer the very latest high-tech technologies again in the new Elegance series.
The shape of the cabinets has been unchanged because the shape is fully functional to
the way the sound develops from the loudspeakers. But the beauty of the design has
been improved upon, by redesigning the stand and bottom, the redesign of the front
cover and many other small design details.

Besides all drivers of the Elegance S7 are significantly improved. The tweeter is now
made of pure beryllium, which is the next best material to diamond. Furthermore the
speaker is equipped with a 7-inch Kharma Composite Driver (KCD), which is based on
a new cone technology especially developed by Kharma. The single 7 inch equipment
of this new Elegance speaker explains the appropriate name Elegance S7

Features

The shape of perfection

The shape of the cabinets of the new Elegance series has been unchanged with
respect to its predecessor, the Ceramique series, because the shape is fully functional
to the way the sound develops from the loudspeakers. This is a result of the unique
polygonal shaped cabinet for optimum phase behaviour and minimum group time­delay. Besides, the cabinet is made of 35 mm high density MDF to increase the
neutrality of the cabinet and is equipped with advanced acoustic damping materials to
absorb the energy in a wide frequency range.

The actual size of this new Elegance S7 is optimized for better performance with
respect to its predecessors of the Ceramique series. Moreover the beauty of the
design has been improved upon, by redesigning the stand and bottom, the redesign of
the front grill and many other small design details.

Living music

One of the many redesigned parts of the Elegance is the grill of the S7. This new
improved grill is made detachable by embedded magnets to really have the freedom to
adapt the Elegance S7 to your own style. With grill, the Elegance gives an elegant and
luxury feeling, where the S7 without grill shows the beauty of the new composite
drivers without actual showing that a grill could be attached. Therefore the Elegance
S7 can easily blend in both contemporary as well as modern interiors.

Trimmable rings

The Elegance S7 has the new special feature of trimmable luxury rings around the
drivers, which hide the mechanical screws of the driver. The unique feature is that the
rings are made magnetic and so can easily be interchanged with other versions of the
trimmable rings.

Connectors

New connectors have especially been designed for the Elegance series, which is done
for user convenience and for high pressure quality contact. As a result the Kharma
Binding Post system for the Elegance (KBPS-EL) can easily give great precision
contact pressure applied by just the twist of a hand.

Internal cabling

Very few loudspeakers can actually boast of pure silver internal wiring because of the
high cost of the silver. Though, the Elegance S7 is fully loaded with ultra pure
silver, which provides endless detail over the whole frequency range.

Stand

A new Spike Disk Suspension System stand (SDSS-stand) has especially been
designed for the Elegance series, which will absorb resonances and works as a
