Pylon Audio Diamond 30 MKII – Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

Big-room scale with refined detail and superb control. The Pylon Audio Diamond 30 MKII is a 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker engineered to deliver deeper, faster bass, a natural and neutral midrange, and a more detailed top end. Built around premium Scandinavian and European driver technology and a carefully reworked cabinet/crossover platform, it’s designed for listeners who want realistic dynamics and a wide, layered soundstage in dedicated listening spaces.

• Dedicated room size: 28–48 m² for full-scale performance and effortless headroom
• 3-way design: dual 18 cm woofers + dedicated 15 cm midrange + 19 mm silk-dome tweeter
• High efficiency: 90 dB sensitivity for lively dynamics with quality amplification
• Power handling: 130 W nominal, 250 W maximum for strong impact and control

Product Overview

The Diamond 30 MKII represents the modernised flagship direction of Pylon’s Diamond series, focusing on improved low-frequency depth and speed, greater midrange neutrality, and higher treble resolution. The speaker uses a true 3-way configuration with dedicated drivers for bass, midrange and high frequencies—helping maintain clarity and composure even when music becomes dense or when cinema soundtracks demand large dynamic swings.

With a 4Ω load and robust driver complement, the Diamond 30 MKII is designed to energise larger rooms and deliver a convincing sense of scale, while maintaining tonal balance and strong separation between instruments.

Listening Experience

Expect a dynamic, coherent and highly detailed listening experience with excellent differentiation between recordings. Bass is deep and controlled, with a faster, more disciplined character that keeps kick drums and bass lines articulate rather than boomy. The midrange stays natural and balanced—voices and acoustic instruments sound present and believable—while the tweeter adds air and fine detail without pushing into brightness.

Soundstaging is one of the Diamond 30 MKII’s strengths: the presentation feels spacious and layered, with stable imaging that holds together at both moderate and higher listening levels.

Recommended Room Size

The Diamond 30 MKII is dedicated to rooms of 28–48 m². In this range, it can deliver full-range authority with effortless dynamics and a large, immersive soundstage. In smaller rooms, careful placement and room treatment may be needed to maintain bass balance and keep the presentation as clean and controlled as intended.

Use Cases

• High-performance stereo: full-range listening with deep bass and expansive staging
• Large living rooms: authoritative dynamics for all music genres at realistic levels
• Home cinema fronts: strong impact and clarity for L/R duties in a premium multi-channel system
• System upgrades: a speaker that clearly reveals improvements in source and amplification

Amplifier Pairing

With 90 dB sensitivity and a 4Ω impedance, the Diamond 30 MKII benefits from an amplifier that can deliver stable current and strong control. For best results:

• Choose a quality integrated or power amplifier with confident 4Ω capability to maximise bass grip and dynamic headroom.
• For home cinema, pair with an AV receiver from Onkyo or Integra that is comfortable driving 4Ω loads, especially in larger rooms.
• System tuning: neutral, controlled amplification highlights speed and precision; smoother electronics can add warmth if your room is lively.
