 The 6.1's are the largest floor standing speakers in the Diva line, but they are graceful and beautiful. They struck me as very musical speakers right away. Midrange was very clear and clean. I could hear the timbre and resonance of the instruments. Strings had bite, cymbals had metallic sheen and vocals were well defined and natural. Bass extension was excellent. I was able to note the timbre of bass instruments, even to the point of being able to identify the rush of air flowing through deep pipes with organ works. With [my] new cables, I can favorably compare the Diva 6.1's to speakers that I have heard costing around $5k or more. All this performance with a total outlay of under $2000, for both the speakers and cables! Amazing! - Ric Siegert, The Stereo Times (click logo for full review)

 "You won't believe what you will get with the Diva by Swans speakers, for $699/pair. These babies have an externally mounted silk dome tweeter in its own rocket-shaped enclosure that minimizes rear wave distortion, two metal cone mid/woofers, and real rosewood veneer (on all four sides, including the rear). The detail is all there. Voices are not overly sibilant. Midrange is clear, without chestiness or nasality. Thus, voices are natural. Bass is deep, slightly forward, but not boomy. The soundstage is wide, regardless of where I sit. The dispersion is excellent, making these speakers a good choice for family listening. They almost fell into position by themselves, so they are very easy to find a nice location in the room." - John E.
