    the Stella and Grande , Focal use Electromagnet bass driver much easier to drive , i think no need for high power like the Maestro right? what do you think about Gryphon Diablo 300? i like the idea of "one box" system with DAC

    Amp recommendation for Focal Maestro

    great idea to ask Vitus i spoke with the owner once i'm sure he will tell me to find Vitus Pre , hope he will be nice to recommend other brand. "Although, having long lived with a DAC without an output stage and now having a DAC that does have (a very good) one, it is a substantial change...
