Default Diamond Speakers anyone have them?

Anyone here using Diamond speakers in their car? Trying to find a place to listen to them, but not having any luck around here.

Diamond audio makes quality stuff. Used to sell them back in houston before I joined the navy. I wouldn't hesitate to run em in my car. They're usually a little brighter, comparable to an infinity kappa with less distortion issues.

I was planning on running Diamonds up front in mine and shallow mount infinity's in back. Magnoila is the only place I know of to get them (besides eBay).

Magnolia high price? Those guys can install, but their overhead is ridiculous and it shows in their prices. I would just get them from an internet retailer that is an authorized dealer. Or just go to diamonds page and search for authorized retailers.

I found a few places online to get them cheap. A couple ebay and paypal stores as well as woofer etc. Lets face it shopping online produces great deals. No overhead and total lack of operating expenses makes for some good bargains. I need a store front!! They can settle for 10% margin and still make money. Of that 10% they pro'lly loose 3% to paypal and are left with 7% which can add up if your moving a lot of product. I listened to Focals and really wasnt that impressed with them.

Well after having listened to Focal, Infinity, Boston Accoustic and Diamond. The Diamonds sound best to me. Going with the Hex S600s for $281 delivered.
