WLM Diva
Timing, timbre and dynamics: Diva’s recipe for an exceptional listening experience!
Diva’s concentric twin-driver (coaxial) speaker assembly offers a unique two-way design. You benefit by hearing your music with accurate phase coherency and timing – fundamental to reproducing a large, open soundstage and key to Diva’s ability to render lifelike, three-dimensional images.
Timbre to music is what color and shading are to an artist’s painting. It’s what makes a Steinway sound like a Steinway and a Stratocaster sound like a Stratocaster. Getting timbre right is a top design priority in all WLM speakers. And Diva’s unique coaxial driver design and minimalist crossover are two of many design elements contributing to Diva’s uncanny ability to get timbre right.
Add a ridged cabinet design, and 97db efficiency, and now you’re looking at a speaker capable of producing robust listening levels from as little as two watts. More importantly for most music lovers, Diva’s highly efficient design translates into incredible dynamics. Dynamics that bring the excitement of a live musical performance into your listening room!

Crossover
- Carefully-selected, premium parts

- Point-to-point wiring for all crossover components (no printed circuit boards), resulting in a larger soundstage and increased transparency

Reviews
“The Diva combines high-energy dynamics with mondo tone and image density for a very fetching combination of kick and warmth. Time domain behavior seems top-notch indeed. This makes for a very non-fatiguing sound that's rhythmically live. The soundstage projects high above the speakers for 6-foot performers who rise well over your seat.”
