  Exquisite Ultimate subwoofer

The subwoofer to use with the Mini Exquisite speaker or home theater setup for that extra oomph.

"Huge active subwoofer with 2 Horsepower firing into an 18 inch extreme long throw sub. The huge HPL-cabinet is finished with wood and aluminum. Kharma is not responsible for environmental damage due to construction fatigue of the building construction."

$32,800.00

  Exquisite center

The center channel to use for that exquisite home theater setup.

"The centre-speaker has a very important role in a home-cinema system, because most of the speech is mixed down to this speaker. By using two of the three ceramic units for the sub-low and the remaining for the mid range the frequency-area of speech will be brought alive in a way that has never been done before.

The multiple-layer  cabinet is pressed in between two HPL plates, leaving no room for resonance of the body. Available as passive and active speaker and include[s] a beautiful stand."

Passive version: $46,000.00
Active version: $55,800.00

Grand Ceramique Series
Loudspeakers
 
  Grand Ceramique 1.0

Floor standing 3-way speaker with ceramic drivers.

"The Grand Ceramique range of Kharma was introduced to further expand the unique qualities of the Ceramique series. Multiple types of acoustic damping material are used throughout and heavy pure silver/gold wiring with Kharma cable enhances even further the incredible detail retrieval and solid performance. The top of the bill finishing in one of the standard Kharma-colors is more than what the customer expects of this top model of the Ceramique line. These loudspeakers blend in beautifully with modern or indeed, classic domestic environments offering true high-end performance. Like the Exquisites, the Grand Ceramiques use the recently developed Kharma Connectors, the ultimate in contact technology, guaranteeing a maximum quantity of information."

  Grand Ceramique Midi 1.0

Floor standing 3-way speaker with ceramic drivers.

"The Midi-version of the Grand Ceramique was launched and extremely well accepted on HE 2002. Michael Fremer of Stereophile declared that the Kharma/Lamm-room was producing the "Best Sound of the Show." and Frank Peraino of Stereo Times called the combination of The Midi's and the Tenors "A Match made in Heaven”. For the Midi a special midrange cabinet was developed. The forms have been computed precisely to have the ceramic units come to the best possible results. The Grand Ceramiques use the recently developed Kharma Connectors, the ultimate in contact technology, guaranteeing a maximum quantity of information."

Matrix Series
 

  Matrix M4

"The Matrix is the new paradigm in sound architecture. This speaker anticipates on the request for a high-end Home Cinema speaker system in a complete new way. The main point for this design was to use the possibility to aim sound.

Several studies were done on how to create a system that could fill up any room with high-end sound. This resulted in a hanging speaker almost completely made out of aluminum. Its direction can be adjusted by rotation over a vertical and over a horizontal axis. The height (or more accurate: depth) of the speaker can be adjusted by changing the length of the rod the speaker hangs on."

Active (with internal amplifier) version: $14,800.00
Passive version: $11,200.00

  Matrix M2

"The M2 can be used as a rear- or side-speaker in a system with the M4 as front-speakers, or as front-speaker with the M1 at the rear and/or side. The low and mid speakers are Kharma/Thiel ceramic-drivers. For the high frequencies a line of three Kharma/Focal tweeters is being used. "

Active (with internal amplifier) version: $10,900.00
Passive version: $8,600.00

   
  Matrix M1

"It might be easy to see the smallest version of the Matrix, the M1, only as a rear- or side-speaker, but this speaker sounds unexpectedly high-end full range all by itself. Because of its size and way of placement the M1 is the ultimate speaker for home theater and multi room use. It lives up to the latest standards in design."

Active (with internal amplifier) version: $6,600.00
Passive version: $4,900.00

  Matrix Subwoofer

"The Matrix Subwoofers have been specially designed to complete the ultra high end Matrix surround systems. There are three different types available.  The MSB HE is the high-end version of the Matrix subwoofer. In the cabinet finished with aluminum houses a 460 mm aluminum cone sub-driver. The MSB Pro aims a 460 mm paper reinforced cone to the floor making this speaker available for home-use as well as use in crowded bars and disco's. This Pro version is available with 750 and 1500 Watt. "

Active (with internal amplifier) version: $21,800.00

   


Amplifiers
 

  Exquisite MP 350 amplifier (forthcoming)
The Kharma amplifier to use with the Exquisite speakers.
  Matrix MP 150 amplifier

 

 

 

 



The Kharma amplifier to use with the Ceramique speakers.

"The Matrix MP150 amplifier is a proprietary switching amplifier It uses a unique pulse control scheme that takes feedback only from the speaker terminals. No feedback loop from the switching output is used. The result is extremely low output impedance over the entire bandwidth. Damping factor is >400 up to 2kHz and >100 at 20kHz. The frequency response is DC-50kHz (+0,-3dB) and is completely independent of the load impedance. THD and IMD are very low (<0.02%) and completely independent of frequency, like a good zero-feedback amplifier.

The amplifier operates without an oscillator which removes all problems associated with oscillator jitter. This translates into very good SNR > 110dB. Construction is entirely using discrete transistors and FETs. Input impedance: 220K!"

$3,400.00 each. $6,800.00 pair

   

Enigma Cable Series
 

The upper high-end line of Kharma's cable-line offers the very best a man might request. The wiring is made of a super quality alloy of pure silver/gold. The whole product is being cryogenically treated in a chamber cooled down to -313 Fahrenheit in a time/temperature controlled process.

The net result is an increase in resolution and a lowering of the noisefloor to an incredible level. A massive screening protects the cable from high frequency interferences and a massive electromechanical damping kills the microphonic feedback also lowering the noisefloor. The connectors made out of pure silver/gold are the perfect fit to the new Kharma Connectors.
