Exquisite Extreme Grand
Limited Edition - 25

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 anti-

resonance 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.
