Product Overview

The Pylon Diamond 18 MKII is a substantial two-way bookshelf loudspeaker designed for listeners who want greater presence and authority than compact models can provide. As part of the Diamond MKII range, it benefits from refined crossover tuning, upgraded drivers and a rigid cabinet structure for improved resolution and control.

Its increased cabinet volume and larger woofer allow the Diamond 18 MKII to deliver deeper bass and higher output capability, making it suitable for both demanding stereo listening and front-channel duties in high-quality home cinema systems.

Listening Experience

The Diamond 18 MKII delivers a full-bodied, open and highly controlled presentation. The midrange is rich and natural, giving vocals and acoustic instruments realistic body and texture. High frequencies are smooth, extended and finely detailed, maintaining refinement even at higher listening levels.

Bass performance is noticeably deeper and more authoritative than smaller bookshelf designs, providing convincing weight and impact while remaining tight and well-defined. Stereo imaging is stable and spacious, with excellent depth and separation.

Recommended Room Size

The Pylon Diamond 18 MKII is ideally suited for medium-sized rooms, including dedicated listening rooms and larger living spaces. It can also perform effectively in larger rooms when paired with a subwoofer, forming a powerful and balanced full-range system.
