Good Morning from Far East Russia...
The DIVA's were hardly our "Party Speaker"... we thought highly of DIVA then... AS WE DO NOW... and I've written about this more times than I care to remember...
The Trade Dress issues were very real to me personally... and I felt fighting any fight (legally) for a product that was not our own was a mistake... especially with the stakes set so high...
Several companies changed their designs after being "contacted" by B&W (Tannoy and Warfedale to name two, and there is a 3rd... but for the life of me I cannot remember right now who it was) about the Trade Dress issues... Others chose to fight it (see KEF)...
The Swan's brand is in VERY capable hands of Jon Lane and Gregg Scott over at The Audio Insider as noted in the opening post of this thread (and confirmed later by the same person)...
I hear the new line is simply sensational... and I have to say they look really good...
Mr. Yao builds one fine speaker... and with Jon Lane they have a superior engineering voice... Long Live DIVA... and good success for all things Swan's...
Wishing you all the very best...
