Kharma - Exquisite Reference

For many years the Exquisite Reference has been Kharma's flagship, and the reference speaker for many a audiophile. Until the development of the Grand it has been the ultra-high-end product of Kharma.

The cabinet is built up using vertically layered panels with carefully computed irregularity shaped cutouts, thus minimizing air born resonance. The panels are kept together by a de-coupling substance to prevent structure-born energy traveling from one panel to the other. This patented system guarantees a resonance-dead cabinet. Every form and every detail on the Exquisite Reference has a purpose in the mechanism to create an absolute sound.

"A stereo system is an idea, your idea of what real music sounds like- it directly reflects your level of active engagement with the real thing and the recorded one alike. The Kharmas come closer to my idea of the absolute soundthan anything else i have heard. the pity is, like most of you i can't afford them. But then as Debbie Harry of Blondie once said, dreaming is for free." Jonathan Valin Absolute Sound issue 125


DATA SHEET - REVIEW - REVIEW

The Exquisite Reference uses a Kharma/Thiel 25 mm diamond tweeter specially developed and tuned for the Exqusite-line. Internally wired with pure silver/gold with a special isolator and low inductance design, super low-inductance capacitors, ultra-high end proprietary pure silver air coils and the best resistors available.

German Physics PQS 402 The ability of the PQS 402 MKII driver is in its transient speed of attack and the fact that there are no crossover distortions in that all important vocal range. The PQS 402 is open, airy, electrostatic-like while lacking the resonances that electrostatics typically exhibit. German Physiks have done a superb job of matching in a bass section to the lightningly fast response of the DDD Driver.

Acapella Triolon Excalibur"Paul Messenger was on hand for a demonstration of Acapella's top-of-the-line Triolon Excalibur loudspeakers. After the impressive demonstration, Paul exclaimed, "That actually sounds like a real piano!" And that, of course, is what it's all about."

German Physiks The Loreley MKIII Completely effortless, that’s the best way I can describe the sound of the new Loreley, Startling dynamics cymbals crash and shimmer with such lifelike finesse, whilst betraying no character of its own. The Loreley is truly neutral and just lets the music pour forth uninhibited. Close your eyes and you can hear every nuance of the recorded venue, pages being turned in the orchestra pit, or a guitarist tapping his feet while playing. Not so much a soundstage as the actual stage being reproduced.
