System features
The Exquisite Grand is currently the most sophisticated dynamic loudspeaker system in the world. 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 Exquisite 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.
Signature treatment
The Exquisite Grand comes with the Signature treatment of Kharma, which is mainly implemented to improve the structure born vibration properties of the driver chassis and to enhance the magnetical field handling as well as proprietary techniques. This is realised by using the Silver/Gold Signature version of the Kharma Binding Post System, refining the internal cabling by proprietary Kharma processes and modifying the drivers for better performance
Drivers
The drivers can be seen as the engine of the loudspeaker, which must create the musicality that may be expected from the uncompromised design of the Exquisite Grand. Therefore the quality of the drivers is crucial for creating an ultra high-end sound.
Without a doubt the quality is guaranteed by using three Diamond tweeters as a standard in the Exquisite Grand. These high-frequency drivers are true technological wonders. The tweeters have a diamond cone which have been realised by the so called CVD process. With this process incredible stiffness is reached with a minimum of thickness of only 50 µm. Notice a human hair is in the range of 17 to 180 µm. The cone is the most essential part of the tweeter and because this cone is made of Diamond the tweeter is capable to create impressively pure high frequencies.
