Has anyone heard the Swan Diva line of Speakers?


Hey guys,

Just curious if anyone here has heard the Swan Diva Line of Speakers. From the pics I've been able to get my hands on they are very sharp looking speakers and from the few reviews that I've read, they are fairly well liked. However, I was wondering if anyone had any "real life" experience w/ them.

Also, I noticed on the AV123 webpage that the Diva's cannot be purchased there anymore, but the ONIX Rocket speaker had been designed. I understand that these are brand new, but I would be interested to see if anyone had heard these as well.

Thanks

I have a friend here in town who has the 6.1's
He is on his second pair as one tweeter on one speaker of his first pair failed.
He was given a new pair free with free shipping.They were under warranty still.
He was told the tweeters and drivers cant be repaired/replaced.
The fit and finish on his second pair is quite inferior to his first pair.
As far as I know,the Diva line is no more and I did see AV123 selling off their last three pair of 6.1's.
Good luck to you that have Diva's...if one fails, what then??
David99,

You can buy the tweeter at Audioexpress as well as the metal cone woofers - they are HiVi units.

Yes, these speakers are manufactured by Hi-Vi.
I recently heard the Swans 2.2 at the CES show in Las Vegas and every rep, manufacturer or technician in the business I spoke to at Swan's booth, agreed that they were the best sound they have ever heard even though there were no back walls or sound proofing materials.
The Swans 2.2 won EVERY CES AWARD in the high-end audio and engineering categories, they were nominated "The Best In The Show".
I have to agree with the bunch, my previous favorites were my dad's Montana's but the Swans sound much more intense and realistic, you could listen to Eagles singer breathing very precisely.
Of course! Each speaker is loaded with the best components in existence: 16 midrange ribbons, 32 ribbon tweeters and four 8" woofers; they are 6'10"" tall x 3 feet wide x 13" deep and weigh just 200 kilos a piece! (In the box)
They are a wall (or should I say 2 walls!) of engineering with a HUGE SWEET SPOT and the most exquisite sound you can listen to for just $68,000 a pair!
Hi-Vi is one of the largest manufacturers of hi end components for speakers IN THE WORLD and most top of the line European speakers (specially German and English) and some of our best Legacy's, Martin Logan's, etc. use their components.
So.... do not believe when somebody tells you that Swans or their economy but still excellent Diva lines are not good speakers, these speakers are just NOT OVERPRICED!
Check this web site for the CES awards. All of the cream of the cream were there and this company got the award as the best sound and engineering. http://www.techtv.com/news/ces2003/story/0,24195,3413910,00.html
Swans (and the original Diva by Swans) are available once again at our store at Audiogon: The Audio Insider, or www.theaudioinsider.com
