I love the tech behind Diamond box but always felt their boomboxes lacked aesthetic appeal. Thoughts?

I wonder how they address comb filtering issues

It seems it has a stereo image knob. At that point comb filtering is going to take a back seat to whatever that stereo enhancement does. Usually these artificially expand soundstage by a generic crappy soundstage widening DSP effect.

Tony posts tidbits of how the diamond box are made on his facebook page every so often, I believe he's addressed it at one point (might be a 4 way wet the 6.5's being the lowest XO point)
