anyone familair with North 4.0 or Swans speakers?

I have not heard the Divas, but I have a pair of Swan M1 speakers and the are very good. I got a great deal on a used pair and wanted to use them as a backup while I tried out more expensive speakers. I have listened to lots of speakers and bought and sold a few. The M1s sound more natural than a lot of very well known monitors. They have very high quality woofers and the ribbon tweeters are wonderful. Many system upgrades and I can always hear the difference through the M1s. I dont know why they are not more popular. One thing though, they take a long time to break in. I use mine well out from the back wall full range with a sub, but they work well close to the wall also. PS, I dont know underwoodwally or work for Swan, just a satisfied owner.

I echo Blkadr's comments 100%! I am very happy with the M1's! Very fast, ultra clear, and smooth and airy at the same time. Exceptional combination for such a low cost, highly recommended especially for near field (6-8 ft) listening.

I just ordered a pair of Swan M1 speakers...couldn't resist going back to near field listening.
