QUOTE(dlyz @ Apr 5 2012, 08:16 AM) That is some setup for just D10.1 which is just entry level bookshelf  Indeed, it was an entry level speaker. The sound of diamond 10.1 was shrill, bright & boomy when i 1st brought it home. My intention was to max out the performance of this speaker and find out whether the Stereophile people have overrated it. Well, the money spent in the setup can actually buy me many pairs of Diamond 10.1 but i am proud to admit that after many months of parts matching, amp hunting, tweaking and back breaking exercise in moving the speakers & stands around - the diamond can really sing (when properly set up, the speaker can be very transparent with an airy high and an impressive low, the mid is almost a match to some 'monitor range' speakers.) Having completed the quest, i have since move on, sold off the speakers and upgraded to a floor stander. The sound is now fuller but the quest continues ...  |

QUOTE(silwen @ Apr 6 2012, 08:10 AM) You replaced these with the Mission 782? Floorstanders provide a greater presence but it's very dependent on the room's acoustics. I had to have bookshelves due to the small room volume I have. With that said, I think you have your priorities right; room acoustics are a pain to refine. Imagine moving the more massive Wilson Audio Alexandria XLF. Also, the Diamond 10.1 is a good setup for the price. Nice entry level. They said a picture is better than a thousand words ...
