yes theese are very diferent technicaly. Diablo is everything I can expect from 2way compact stand monitor. Strings and everything above 3-4Khz is best arround. The only flaws to my ears is limited dynamic(due eficienty) and some harshness in bigger chorus ,choral voices ,particulary female opera voices with less than perfect recordings. But its very minor and all this common to all two ways monitors in some even very pronounced not liek Diablo.
