But given the very modest DiamondвЂ™s price, I donвЂ™t think this should be held against it. This was noticeable in compassion with a bit pricier Monitor Audio Bronze 2 and much more expensive KEF LS50. The only thing this soft dome twitter lacks is that last bit of smoothness and glossiness, so it can occasionally feel slightly grainy, giving those highest frequencies a bit of a matt finish. The track atmosphere is well conveyed too, so you can clearly hear that moment when the microphone turns on just before the singer starts to sing. On the other end of the spectrum, Diamond 220 offers well developed high frequencies capable of etching a respectable amount of tiny details.

It fills the sound with an everpresent sense of body and weight without ever making it bloated. Midbass is slightly warm but never overwhelmingly so. Putting Diamond 220s closer to the walls and corners will increase their bass output but at the expense of timing and precision. ItвЂ™s precise and agile but not that punchy or exciting, so if youвЂ™re looking for a speaker to make heavy beats of your electronic music alive and jumping, better look elsewhere. The bassline is reasonably deep for the speaker of this size. TheyвЂ™re presented in a full-bodied fashion but are also brimming with details. Listening to the likes of Leonard Cohen and his deep but raspy voice is a joy. Vocals are firmly centered, present, and rich with nuances. The next thing that struck me is their midrange skils. I especially admired its width and height, with depth being a bit more modest. Put on a pair of mass loaded stands and position clear of the corners, Diamond 220s produce a well- developed sound-stage.

TheyвЂ™re covering the drivers themselves only while we still get to enjoy the overall look and design of the front panel, very neat trick if you ask me.Д«ass reflex is located on the bottom, between the speaker and the attached bottom board, so itвЂ™s out of sight.

Moreover, I really like the solution used for grills вЂ“ where each driver has its own circular grill. It feels nicely finished too and thereвЂ™s really nothing to complain about. My first impression when taking them out of the box was that those feel quite weighty and sturdy for the size and especially for the price. Diamond 220 debuted a few years ago with a price of $350 / ВЈ180 but goes for a discounted price of just $199 / ВЈ119 these days. For those of you still keeping count, this would be the 12th iteration of the series. As my own experience goes, I first came in touch with it trough 8th iteration, more specifically trough stand-mounters Diamond 8.2 and floor-standers Diamond 8.4, some 20 years ago. Some of the measurement units are not commonly found but they are still included for conversion purposes.Wharfedale Diamond series has a long-standing tradition of offering a great bang for the buck. The table above shows the conversion from grit, micron and mesh. 100 120-160 150 Commonly used for charging copper laps. 225 80-100 90 Commonly used for charging copper laps. 260 is commonly used for charging copper laps. 325 40-50 45 Commonly used for charging copper laps. 600 20-40 30 Commonly used for charging copper laps. 8000 2-4 3 This is my standard pre-polish for sapphires and other hard materials. 9000 2-3 2.5 Seldom used because itвЂ™s so close to 8,000. 14000 0-2 1 This is the standard commercial polish for sapphires, although I recommend going another step to 50,000. 50,000 grit is more common and used forВ polishing sapphire and other hard materials. Mainly for contest cutting or hobby cutters. Grit (American Standard) Mesh Micron Comments 100000 0-0.5 0.25 Very fine and not used often commercially.
