Green Mountain Audio


I picked up a set of Diamante's for cheap. They have trashed foam surrounds but otherwise seem fine. I plan on veneering the "marble" with a beautiful teak or rosewood- I haven't decided.The angles will look pretty cool with the right veneer. The marble is not so cool but rigid and heavy. 

Curious if some upgraded drivers would improve the sound- as apposed to re-foaming. I realize this is a shot in the dark but my understanding is Roy from GMA has passed so not sure where to get driver advice. Open to any and all suggestions.

Geez, it took me long enough to realize you really need to finish veneering before you install drivers! 🙄

Not necessarily.

If you know what brand drivers your Diamonte’s have, you can call a company like Madisound, let them know what drivers they are, and they will recommend a drop in replacement if they carry a superior compatible driver, which they probably do.

Let us know what you decide.

A simple phone call and a couple of questions answered.

That to me is easier than reforming decades old drivers if there is indeed drop in replacements.

I'm thinking Green Mountain used ScanSpeak, that's why I suggested it's likely there's a drop in substitute. Of course, I have no idea why I think that. I could be completely wrong. Oops! Stupid auto correct. I wrote refoaming.

I'm sure when you get them sorted out you will be quite happy with them.

How much do they weigh?

Indeed, life has a knack for interrupting the fun things we'd like to do.

Perhaps when it warms up this Spring, you can continue...
