The new Diamond 9 range from Wharfedale has been out for a little while now. I've had an audition of the Diamond 9.5 (which are the replacement for the previous Diamond 8.4) which sound just as good as you'd expect just that bit better than the last model (which in itself was a 5 star award winner)
The disappointment I've found so far is the lack of ability to test the flagship offering of the new range. A few stores have the Diamond 9.6 in stock but almost no where has the new Diamond 9.CM with duel 6.5" drives along side the separate soft dome midrange and tweeter drivers. The 2" tex midrange driver is that shared with the 9.6 floor stander and should provide seemless integration across the front stage. However, at this point it's only speculation as the speaker isn't available for audition.
The completion of this package would definately Diamond 9.3 to drive the rear offering a great multi-channel music setup with 8" driver have enough gusto to produce ample bass. There is also a diapole offering in the Diamond 9.DFS for more movie focused applications.

I can see someones death pending...
At least someone listens to me. The 9.3's are the way to go for the rear. Probably just as good as the 9.4's in some ways.
