Defo a bargain, Alex, so well done, but not a patch on the original Diamonds from the '80s...
Those are the babies to have, which are musically addictive in a way that all other Diamonds which deviate from the original design (and drivers used) aren't.
However, what you've bagged will still be a fun little pair of speakers, at a stupid price, so enjoy! :cool:

:popcorn:
Indeed, and I'll get some originals to try one day (rather like the white ones...) In the meantime, for the price of a CD a little bit of fun. I just need to start SELLING some of the old crap I keep acquiring instead of buying more! :doh: :)Quote:

Must disagree about 'all other Diamonds' as my partner Ruth's Diamond 10.1s are absolutely stonking speakers for their size.
Tell me about it.Quote:

Luckily the really good stuff is too heavy for her to lift, but I think it's time to start disposing of a few things!

Thing is though, at £7 it would have been rude not to liberate that Techie, wouldn't it?... Women, they just don't get it! :rolleyes: ;)
