We hereby launch the Exquisite Midi 3.0 model!
The Midi has always been a very popular Exquisite model, so we have given it a lot of thoughts on how to improve the performance of such a wanted loudspeaker.

That's where our journey beyond imaginable details started. Researching every aspect of the loudspeaker, resulting in beautiful 3.0 upgrades:

- new stand design, being decoupled by 8mm Tungsten balls
- Aesthetic changes to trimming and other details
- Matching internal wiring to the Exquisite Cable Collection

To be able to hear every detail...
You need to focus on every detail! [emoji184]

Therefore we've used a Diamond concave tweeter for this 'new' model!

These high-frequency drivers are true technological wonders. The tweeters have a diamond cone which has been realized by the so-called CVD process. With this process incredible stiffness is reached with a minimum of thickness of only 50 μm.
(Notice a human hair is in the range of 17 to 180 μm [emoji6])

The cone is the most essential part of the tweeter and because this cone is made of Diamond the tweeter is capable to create impressively pure high frequencies.

Dream speakers for me. The Kharma's were my favorite speaker at the Capitol Audio Fest. And if they sounded that good in show conditions, I can only imagine how good they would be if in a proper room.
 
Definitely beautiful looking speakers. I’d love to hear them. I’m sure they sound awesome.

With the upgraded Omega F midrange driver from the Veyron series? About $105k.

Hi Mike,

Correct me if I’m wrong but the midrange upgrade costs $10K, so that would bring the base MSRP of the Exquisite MIDI 3.0 in at approximately $95K.

Mike - apologies if already covered in another thread. How would you compare your Exquisite Midis to your Elegance 11-s?

The DB11’s are much much larger and deeper. They have tremendous bass and cast a massive soundstage. The Midis are slightly more refined in the highs with the Diamond tweeter and more transparent. I would say the midis are more comparable to the DB9’s in size (both are about 40 inches tall) and both have similar sized bass drivers. The cabinet of the midis, the Diamond tweeter and midrange are slightly more refined and transparent. The support structure/platform on the Midi is also improved over the DB9.

Thank you. So probably comes down to room size (DB11s for larger room) and budget (DB9s v Midis for smaller room).
