It could be my setup or room, but the diamonds don't seem at all bright to my ears when compared to others I've heard. Not a criticism of what you hear, but interesting to note how differently we must either hear or react to the same sounds. I can't hear up to 20hz anymore, assuming I ever could, but there's other factors, of course, that could be at work.

While it's great and very helpful to see all our opinions and read reviews, at the end of the day, the best advice to listen for yourself.
