    Opinions about Swans Diva speakers?

    The Diva 6.1's and 4.1's came via "truck" which was actually a van. Too heavy for UPS or Fedex. They call you a day in advance to set up delivery arrangements.

    Opinions about Swans Diva speakers?

    My take on SOCS w/ the Diva 6.1s is that it is subtle but obvious over time / longer listening. I cannot do any FFT measurements to accurately quantify what SOCS is doing, but there is not a drastic frequency response shift like say a tone control being tweeked. More phase linearization is...

    Opinions about Swans Diva speakers?

    Like previously mentioned, I have owned the Swans Diva 6.1's for about 2.5 months. I have enjoyed these speakers very much and listen for extended periods each day, mostly to jazz, but do listen to classic rock at high volumes from time to time. It did take some time to get them tuned into the...

    "Vintage" Toshiba RPTV, innate problem?

    Thanks for the response. Clarification ... TP61G90. As for your suggestions, very good advice, but no dice. I can actually see the artifacts, if you will, when looking directly into the guns. It just looks like SVM gone astray. Again, not visible all the time, but on DVDs like The Green...

    Opinions about Swans Diva speakers?

    I have run the Diva 6.1's with a well maintained Dynaco ST-70 and a Sonic Frontiers Power 1. I may get the opportunity to try them with a friends Krell (solid state, of course). Again, these amps handle the job from 51 hz up with the Hsu active crossover high pass at 24 DB/octave. I will have...

    "Vintage" Toshiba RPTV, innate problem?

    I have a Toshiba TP16G90 circa 1997-98. Fundamentally a very good non HDTV set with internal line doubler and conversion from interlaced to progressive scan (why this was not made accessible via the component inputs, I'll never know). Have an issue with subtle ghosting that is most evident...

    Opinions about Swans Diva speakers?

    I have owned the Swans Diva 6.1s for about 6 weeks and they have been excellent. Using them with the Pioneer Elite DV-05 (DVD), Pioneer PD-65 (CD), Perpetual P-01A/ P-3A DAC / SOCS combo. Crossed over to 2 HSU TN1220HO with the Hsu 500W amp at 51 Hz. The 6.1s don't need a sub for most music...
