Has anyone heard the Swan Diva line of Speakers?

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

I currently own a pair of Swan Diva 5.1s. I have been an audiophile for over 30 years and I feel you can't go wrong purchasing the 5.1s based on the sound and price. I am using a Sonic Frontiers Line 1, a Llano 100S pure class A amplifier,a Marantz SA-14, and a Clearaudio turntable. I recently sold Apogee Stages after more than 12 years with them and have had the pleasure of using the Swans in my main listening room. They were previously purchased for a small system upstairs. I really had not paid much attention to their sound I have had them about 15 months) since I was listening to the Apogee Stages. Once I took the grills off the speakers they really came alive and sound very good. The bass is outstanding for a small pair of floorstanders (IMO). I am currently looking for replacements for my Stages and can honestly say I am not in a hurry as the Swan Diva's sound great. Hope that helps.
