The System

[Roy S]

Had a few Diamonds over the years, seem to recall one pair cost £7. Great little speakers for the money. Don’t keep loads of back up gear anymore, haven’t actually got any back up speakers £59 you say? Hmm

Hi Roy

True True never had a pair of Jamo's had friends who placed them in the crap end of speakers no such thing i like them Great fun impressed with them although they are currently in the cupboard

Happy Listening bought the little Wharfedale Diamond 9.0's a great speaker also within limitations bargain £59 from Richer Sounds

I must say i impressed myself with the re foam

Diamond 9.0 as you say great little speakers, which should fill most rooms nicely if paired with a little sub - I bought a couple of pairs for my daughter's hairdresser shop a couple of years ago. They barely got any use, and now she's moved premises, so guess who now has these boxes cluttering the house?

I might try one pair, together with my sub, in my second system, in place of my old Celestion 5s. The others I'll stick on here for sale when I have time. You might have been a bit too early for a bargain Dan - sorry about that. But still a bargain at £59.

friend of mine used Diamond IV in a 14 x 36 room with no problems. Maybe could have done with subs too but that was back in the flat earth days when subwoofers were something only demented Americans used and were not considered 'hi-fi'

But for rock and pop music bass depth was adequate and they could reach acceptable levels without breaking up even in that huge space.

Nostalgia Post

My grandad had a Marantz MX 593 stack in the early 90's i have footage of this and a photo in a family album so when the PM 583 Amp came up local i bought it for £10 great bit of kit the stack new in 1989 was £599.99 can't make out the rears he had but the fronts were 1992/3 Wharfedale Delta 30.2's

Great fun and a nice bit of kit now that i need it but had to have it Great EQ with Memo it saves then and @ 40 WPC with AV capabilities same they are worth next to nothing Has anyone else bought kit that family members have owned?
