“The Tenors bring a remarkable top-to-bottom continuity, which I've often called the Kharma effect (the speaker, not the moral law of cause and effect)...
This is intriguing. All of the Kharmas I've listened to have displayed continuity from bat to soprano frequencies -- certainly not "bottom" frequencies. (Romy calls this "ear-piercing").

Indeed, I thought that one of the elements behind the Kharma products' "clarity", much touted by audiophiles, was just that: the relative absence of lower register (& what there is is slightly out of sync with the rest) -- indeed, I thought it was a deliberate choice in crossover & driver used...

Quoting the article:
At first I wondered whether HSI was just another marketing catchphrase
Just a thought: sound reproduction, which includes main & harmonics, is what... sound reproduction is all about. The idea of performing  reproduction in a consistent or with "structural integrity" manner is welcome -- but, no offense to Tenor -- hardly earth-shattering.

Admittedly, the phrase "structural integrity" is much, much better than saying "reproduces music very nicely, you can appreciate main & harmonics for most of the spectrum"

Or I am missing something>
