Hello Aurel, I live in Germany, and I own a pair of new Diapason ensembles (2007), in rare Makassar finish. I use it with two Plinius SA Reference amps in Bi Amping mode and with other Plinius components (CD, Preamplifier, etc.), mostly in Class AB sometimes in Class A, blows you away, believe me. I owned an older, wonderful pair in Brazilian Rosewood a few times ago, and what I can say is, that the new versions are incredible better, in any case, than older versions. They work gorgeous with Plinius SA Reference. The price in Germany for regular, for example cherry furniture/ finish is 23000 Euro, for special furnitures a bit more (Makassar 26500 Euro). I have some pics if you want, or if you have more questions, simply contact me. Kind regards

Hello Samcclark
The "newer" Diapasons have bigger Double Eagles (1 Woofer is as big as 2 Hawk-Woofers). The older Diapason-Double Eagle Bass-Woofers were a little smaller. Regards
