Description

Initially I was using Focal Diablo Utopia III speakers but lately I prefer the musicality of Harbeth M30.2.  I still use Focal Diablo for multi-channel.

Active crossover changed to JL Audio CR1, which is more transparent compared to Bryston 10B-SUB and without any hissing noise of the 10B.  

Lately, I am into building my own music server.

MC452 on my radar.

Anwar how did you decide on 13" sub?

Well done.

Like the MC452 paired with Diablos.

Interesting insight on the Scala and Maestro. I was considering the Scalas but I recently re-voiced my system with new power cords. Great change without breaking the bank.
