hahahaha.. my Diamond III since 1991 still working well.

"kutip ayam mati" ah ?

Check out this hybrid Class A/D amplifer from France: Devialet D-Premier.

Try Pasar Road. Some shops there sell the surrounds in various sizes / diameters.

Another home DIY fix would be to apply some Selleys flex-joint seal or whacchamacallit (i forget the exact name) but it's a rubber based flexible sealant compound that is flexible after curing.

So has the Garde patent been productised into a tangible item yet or is it still just in the schematic state ?

Wow ... so many Wharfedale Diamond users here.

If anything, sonic differences between different speaker types is actually one of the easiest thing to hear for. The better advice would be to choose based your own listening taste and preference, regardless of price.
But if the more "expensive" speakers sound more enjoyable or suitable to your own listening taste and the wallet is feeling generous, go for it then.

But whatever it may be, please don't fall into the "sour grapes" trap. There are some who will hentam the more expensive things saying that it's a con job or whatever, but actually they are just jealous of other people's affordability and have some inferiority complex of their own. Not referring to anyone in the Wharfedale thread here of course (but in some other threads ).
