"Unpacking the Diva speakers brought back memories of Christmas past. We were amazed at the incredibly intricate shipping packages the Diva's arrived in. Once we let the speakers out of the bag, we were instantly impressed with the incredibly glossy, piano- like finish on top and bottom of the speakers. With a look similar to a B&W Nautilus speaker, we were impressed. Transitions between the two rear speakers was fantastic, the dipole speakers spread the sound out very well over the entire listening area. The THX Trailer "Tex II" illustrates this transition beautifully. Our listening are has various seating positions, many that are not in the "sweet spot". Even in the areas that are to the sides of the sweet spot, imaging was very good and a sense of depth was evident. We really like the wide dispersion of the R3 rear speakers." - Cheap Home Theater (click logo for full .pdf review).
