If you think the 30mm tweeter is expensive, wait to you see how much the 50mm midrange will cost!!

Yes but the Midi-Grand's with the Diamond Tweeter and Enigma would cost about $63K. That is out of my price range right now. FYI, before Bill, a friend of mine was the distributor for Kharma and he had the speakers I own, and then upgraded to the Exquisite 1A when they became available, (with the rest of the system exactly the same, so I know how they compare because I heard both). To this day he still prefers the CE1.0 SE overall. To me the Exquisite was much smoother, and the bass was better, had more resolution, but the midrange was really not much better (it's as good as it gets on both), and the imaging and soundstaging was superior on the 1.0 SE's (due to either the wider cabinet or the large mid of the Exquisite I guess). If I were to get the Diamond Tweeter the only difference between the MGC 1.0D and the CRM1.2D (1.0 SE = CRM1.2) would be the midrange driver, everything else would be the same (except for the Enigma upgrade and the slightly larger cabinet of the MGC1.0). Don't get me wrong, if I could get the MGRC1.0 Diamond I would, but I think the CRM1.2Diamond would be better than the standard MidiGrand, and definitely the best bang for the buck. Iâ€™m hoping Diamonds are an audiophile's best friend! Weâ€™ll see.
