How much? :b
What is interesting...is that it is smoothing out and starting to look like an Arrakis. Instead of 2 front-firing woofers, the Arrakis has create 2 separately angle side chambers for dual 15" woofers. I have auditioned them in HK, and remember thinking I would love to have a pair of matching Rockport subs to just FILL the space. It was a remarkable experience in any event, but that enveloping sense that comes from endless bass (dual bass towers, etc)...is just something special for bass freaks.
...and it seems like that is what Kharma is suggesting here...
except with adding DSP, each subwoofer in a separate cabinet and adding monoblocks.
This would be a huge difference, because I assume running through a DSP involves digitization of an analog source signals, which would be a cardinal sin to purists......
while i agree that that is an issue......the megabuck Asian markets this is aimed at are not as sensitive to that issue as more rabid audiophiles might be.
they like great sound, but they love bling bling.
the guy stroking the check for this is likely not at your monthly audio club meeting.
The upshot is you can probably save yourself half a million by buying just the towers, getting a SOTA digital crossover, (potentially with DRC), and use an array of JL Gothams (or equivalent). Big compromise on the aesthetics though....
yes; but the whole idea here is that it's a plug and play system where the dealer sets it up and the buyer does not have to decide about synergy, he just says yes. then he changes tracks on his (likely) CD player or server and adjusts volume. it's that simple.
another 'system' like this, but maybe more for the more esoteric audiophile is the full-tilt boggie big Genesis Dragon with the Genesis amps and crossover. Gary avoids dsp and uses a bass tower instead of 8 subs. Genesis does not build their own preamp, but i know Gary has his favorites. but it does eliminate the customer from having to think about amps and set-up.
these type systems are aimed similarly.
Probably, but the chances that this Kharma dealer happens to be an expert in DSP/DRC and mains / sub integration are pretty slim.
that system would be set up by Charles Von Oostrom.....not a dealer.
i owned Kharma Exquisite Reference speakers for 4 years, and spent time at a few audio shows with Charles, the owner/designer of Kharma. Brilliant guy, and his products are outstanding if a bit over priced for most markets. if Charles designed dsp into his system then i'd bet he has got a serious handle on it.

Is it just me, but do those photos look super imposed or fake?
It does not look like a real room.
