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

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.
