803 Diamond

A Legend Reborn

The 803 Diamond might look almost as imposing as the 802 Diamond, but

thanks to its smaller footprint and more traditional cabinet design, it will t more

easily into a home environment. With three Rohacell 7” bass drivers it delivers

almost as much bass as the 802 Diamond, lling even the largest of domestic

rooms with rich, lifelike sound.
