Kharma Lands at Sydney Hi-Fi
Kharma, founded in 1982 by Charles van Oosterum in the Netherlands and cherished by discerning audiophiles throughout Europe, has finally touched down in Australia.
Sydney Hi-Fi in Castle Hill are renowned for providing solutions for their customers from basic wireless audio streaming, right through to the ultra high-end of two channel audio. With the arrival of Kharma through Australian distributor Radiance Audio Visual, Sydney Hi-Fi have nearly completed their 'Kharma Lounge', showcasing the Kharma Exquisite Midi loudspeakers ($115,100.00 RRP).
"Creating a Kharma Exquisite loudspeaker is a very long process. Looking for the perfect shape, materials and sound... that sense of graceful elegance you would expect from a handcrafted loudspeaker. The far-reaching attention to detail makes this speaker range a class of its own. This becomes crystal clear by the Diamond tweeter which is standard in the Exquisite Collection. This all is the result of our unique reputation and style, which is realized by a team of highly dedicated and committed specialists", according to Kharma's designers.
The new Kharma Exquisite Midi is said to be built and designed without compromise. Every part of this speaker, from the extreme dense HPL-plates to the smallest details has a function in the complex process of creating ultra high-end sound.
The Kharma Lounge features Kharma's Matrix MP-150 Mono Amplifiers ($8,500.00 RRP), Matrix Pre-Amplifier ($7,700.00 RRP), Elegance DB9 ($45,700.00 RRP) and S7 ($24,600.00 RRP) Speakers, and of course the Exquisite Midi loudspeakers. The Lounge also features Kharma cabling.
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Just like a genuine piece of art, a painting, a sculpture can evoke the special feeling of true beauty in the eyes of the beholder. So, not in everyone, just in the one that already has realized this beauty in her/himself and is ready for the next step. This is how we see a Kharma product, evoking feelings of beauty, deep emotions, by offering a time window to the artistic performance. The subtle vibrations that a Kharma music system offers are capable of stirring up these deep personal emotions. This has to be experienced to be believed. Just as it is not possible to describe the taste of a strawberry to someone, who has never eaten a strawberry in his life. Don’t take these words for granted experience for yourself; Let go, Indulge and Enjoy an endless journey beyond imagination”, Charles van Oosterum, CEO of Kharma.
Sydney Hi-Fi welcomes readers to drop in to audition the Kharma Lounge. An exclusive StereoNET member night will also be organised very soon so stay tuned for more information.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
