Diapason Adamantes II and III good speakers or no

I have the II's and would say the following:

Also some suggestions.

They are more revealing than you think. Musical yes and very musical at that. But every time I have changed cables, pucks, cones tweaks, mats, etc. you can hear the difference.

Try this also - bybee filters at the tweater and woofer - inside the speaker - and it sounds great, even more detail and retains all of its depth and musicality. Also tilt them back about 1/2 inch or so. Try pointing them at the outside edges of your ears also.

These have been very nice inmprovements.

Scotty333 where can I get Bybee filters,Are they easy
to put, Do I need a solder for this?

Try Audionut.com for the bybees. Yes you will need solder for this. Radioshack has solder iron for 9 bucks or less plus 6 bucks for the better solder. It's not that difficult to do. The soldering is frnakly the easy part. Getting the speakers off of the cabinet was harder for me. the screws were really tough to get off the cabinet. Don's know why. IT was well worth the effort. More dynamic, better detail and smooth.

I too have a pair of adamantes iiis and love them. The absence of a cross-over on the bass/mid driver really takes you so much closer to the music however old tweaking habits die hard...... I read Scotty333's comments with interest as I have already been messing around with mine. I started off with Walker Audio ultimate hdls which perform a similar function to bybees and increase the focus and clarity greatly. Since I prefer single wire to biwiring (which incidentally beefs up the bass response), I've removed one pair of binding posts and used a jumper wire to bypass the other binding posts and make direct contact with the spkr cable spades. The other mod which worked well is to swap the brass cones on the stands with rdc3 screw on cones. The last touch i guess will be to rewire the internals. I've got some excellent jena labs cryo'd hook-up wire from modwright sitting around but am tempted by using some nordost monofiliment cable (poss from shiva power cord). Oh that and maybe try some deflex panels. All madness i know...........

I am thinking of using the polycrystal cones, I have
them. Even with out tweak this speakers are so musical,
mine are wired with Van Den Hull, are this the standard
wire?
