Features

Its size still remained compact, but the speaker box volume and drive size were increased for even greater efficiency. Perfect for larger rooms and more powerful 2-channel hi-fi systems. The Diamond features 12 high-performance 150mm KlarityTM drives for extended, tight bass, and anticipated 25mm woven polyester dome tweeter for clean and extended high frequencies. Made from a blend of polypropylene and mica, the Klarity cone is rigid, lightweight, and secure. The stiffness of the cone is further increased by the ribs formed on its surface. This is said to contribute to extended yet tight bass and reduce hue and performance speed. The magnetic system is equipped with an aluminum compensation ring to minimize distortions when the voice coil moves.

The sound coil is wound on a high-performance epoxy / fiberglass spool, which is extremely unusual for speakers in this price range.

The crossover system uses an acoustic LKR 24dB topology, which results in the least distortion. Because the coil resistance is greater than a conventional laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid / deep bass drive has been modified, resulting in fast, clean bass without distorting the inductor.
