Green Mountain Audio


I picked up a set of Diamante's for cheap. They have trashed foam surrounds but otherwise seem fine. I plan on veneering the "marble" with a beautiful teak or rosewood- I haven't decided.The angles will look pretty cool with the right veneer. The marble is not so cool but rigid and heavy. 

Curious if some upgraded drivers would improve the sound- as apposed to re-foaming. I realize this is a shot in the dark but my understanding is Roy from GMA has passed so not sure where to get driver advice. Open to any and all suggestions.

I'm thinking Green Mountain used ScanSpeak, that's why I suggested it's likely there's a drop in substitute. Of course, I have no idea why I think that. I could be completely wrong. Oops! Stupid auto correct. I wrote refoaming.

The woofer is ScanSpeak 21W/8552 Classic. Tweeter is also Scanspeak  D2010/8513. The midrange is Eton 4-203/25 HEX. The tweeter is still available in a slightly different form. Drivers look high quality. The surrounds were cheap and May attempt this. I have a message into Madisound asking for compatible drop ins. The marble is just ugly for my tastes but the design is very cool and with a proper high end veneer job these could look exceptional. Also will polish the aluminum around speakers to see if I can mirror it. The drivers all have a part number sticker- Kxxxx where the X’s are numbers. Assume these are GMA part numbers. the foam diaphragm covering the tweeters have pinholes- not sure how to deal with that. I only bought these because I know Roy was a gem and didn’t want these to go to the waste bin. 

I'm sure when you get them sorted out you will be quite happy with them.

How much do they weigh?

Contact Scanspeak, give them the model #s and see if they have any or if there’s a very similar or maybe even improved version.  Start by going to the source.
