The latest Diamond 121 follows the trend set by its predecessor and has already picked up a 5-star review from What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine. See attached image files for details.
ALL NEW DRIVE UNITS FOR A CLASS-LEADING SOUND
The new bass driver is formed from woven Kevlar and has ribs for added rigidity. When combined this gives the speaker a superbly accurate and precise sound quality. Vocals sound more realistic than you'd believe for a speaker of this price and the bass is upbeat and never lagging behind the rest of the mix. At the other end of the scale the treble unit is now surrounded by a deeply dished waveguide. This helps to improve the imaging and 'width' of sound making it easier to pick out individual instruments. The treble also provides loads of detail without ever sounding unrefined. Put together, the overall sound quality is fantastically well-balanced and natural with a sense of realism that you wouldn't expect from a speaker of this price.
ALL NEW CABINET WITH SLOT-LOADED DISTRIBUTION PORT FOR POWERFUL BASS
For the first time on any Diamond speaker, the 121 features a new style of bass reflex porting. Rather than using a simple front or rear mounted port, the 121 ports the bass via an integral plinth. This not only provides a more efficient and even bass output but also makes the speaker easier to place as you don't have to take wall positioning into account. Finally, the speakers are bi-wirable allowing you the option of using a 4-cored cable for even greater detail.
