In the early 1980s, Wharfedale created the blueprint for modern 'budget' hi-fi speakers when it made the first-ever DIAMOND. Through successive generations, the Wharfedale DIAMOND has remained the most famous name in budget hi-fi speakers worldwide. The launch of a new DIAMOND range is always a major hi-fi event and this campaign will introduce the latest generation of DIAMOND loudspeakers to the world.

They are good for Music. Vocals are buttery but bit forward. Good bass. Not dynamic.

Wharfdale Diamond 12.2 walnut/brown was my other competing choice.

I also have the Polk Reserve R200 and they are a bit more open sounding in the top end, but I think the Diamond 12.2 are easier to work with in terms of positioning (soft dome tweeter vs. ring radiator) and are more forgiving of poor recordings while also being fairly neutral.
Save your money and buy cheaper & better Sonys instead
I'm not saying the Sony Cores are terrible, but they have a really exaggerated treble spike for my taste.

This is my issue with speakers and buying online. There's virtually no physical store besides BB magnolia to try out speakers - and I haven't seen the same speakers in BB when I've looked. Even then the speaker set might sound different in your listening area but at least you'd have an idea of the sound. If returns are free online then I have no issue but where would that be? Maybe buying 2 bookshelf's to start is an idea but I can't see not being able to try out a speaker set and throwing thousands away on someone else's impression. Is there a good return policy for any stores online or a physical store with reasonable prices?
I would get a powered monitor speaker by Kali Audio at a similar price point:
These are designed for playing back music on a hi-fi system at home.

My take away from that review, these seem great, paired with sub (speakers with 100Hz crossover) and will be even better; but in my opinion price could be even better, like another $20-$50 off then I would say they would be a truly SLICK deal.
