Aurel,
the price for new Diapasons in the US is 16,500$. If you take a look around for a few months, you might pick up a used pair for anywhere between 5- and 10,000 $, and import it to Europe. Thats what I did with my pair of Diapasons, which I got flown from LA via Frankfurt to Moscow (for a cheap 850 $, at that time).
The Plinius amp you own is perfect for use with Shahinian´s, as far as the speaker is concerned, I agree with tonyptony. I own my pair for 4 years now ( as well as Obelisks), have listened to a lot of other speakers, and would not trade them. The Gradient are fine speakers, but not in the class of the Diapasons. Alternatives would be MBLs, German Physiks
You will find more on the Diapasons when searching the archives here, on
