Estelon Forza vs X Diamond

[Peter Bomberg]

This is a very specific question regarding these 2 speakers. I have a pair of Estelon X Diamonds and love them but there is a possibility I might be fortunate enough to be able to upgrade to the Estelon Forza, so I want to ask has anyone on here done a direct comparison?

Peter, not to take you off course, but if you have the room for some outstanding subwoofers that will easily integrate into your room decor, that could prove to be a better option.

I have a pair of REL S/812 currently and am taking delivery of a pair or REL No 31's in a couple of weeks so yes I agree with you subs are a key part of the system.

I hope you will share your thoughts with us after your visit to Rhapsody next month. I’m enjoying the hell out of the X-Diamonds I now have here for auditions… remarkable speakers. I’m looking forward to my own visit to NYC to hear the other models.

Last week I visited Bob at his beautiful home/office and auditioned his great looking pair of X-Diamonds and concur that I enjoyed the hell out it. With great solid state power (a huge Pilium amp) and really not even fully broken in, these speakers just sounded great on all types of music which we threw at them! A really thoughtful and well executed design.

I shall, it's only a couple weeks away and I am looking forward to it.

You have great-sounding speakers. The Diamond X are much better sounding, better engineered, and better proportioned than the Forza. IMHO, moving to the Forza would be a mistake—it only exists to justify a higher price.

interesting, I agree my system sounds amazing, and I am not certain the Forza's are better as I have not heard them but I was hoping to get feedback from somebody that has heard both

Yes, I heard them both and IMO X is better than Forza.
