Exquisite Galileo

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. This is especially stressed by
the Diamond cone of the tweeter, which is one of so many high-lights that are
standard in the Kharma Exquisite Collection. The systems are developed, assembled
and tested in the Netherlands, with the utmost care, by a team of highly dedicated,
committed specialists.

The Galileo Exquisite has been designed to fill in the gab between our smallest
Exquisite floorstander, the Exquisite Mini and the more powerful Exquisite Midi. The
Exquisite Galileo is still modest of size, but can deliver the same quality in a larger
room. As all Exquisites the Galileo uses a Diamond tweeter as a high frequency driver
and a Kharma’s black label driver as a mid /low driver. The incredible attention to
details has led to the uncompromised design of the Exquisite Galileo.

Features

Cabinet

The massive cabinet is made of high pressure laminate (HPL). 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 all energy from the drivers that is trapped inside the loudspeaker should be
absorbed by the cabinet. This is realised by the combination of the extreme dense
HPL plates and sophisticated acoustical damping. The acoustical damping is capable
to absorb the energy in a wide frequency spectrum.

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.

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 Galileo. 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.

Internal cabling

An Exquisite loudspeaker is internally wired with pure silver/gold conductors. The
internal wiring has the same high quality as our Kharma Enigma cable series and
Enigma Signature series.

Connector

The Exquisite Galileo is equipped with the recently developed Kharma Binding Posts,
designed and proven to be the best link between the loudspeaker cable and the
internal wiring.
