Not to mention, this is the third (maybe fourth) front cover usage of "diamonds are forever" caption with regard to B&W speakers.

Thanks!
The HTM2 D3 matches the drivers of the 804D3 perfectly. I have been really impressed by it so far as it is big upgrade over my HTM4 D2. The voices seem clearer and the there is far more presence to them. Music too has additional clarity and the stage now across my front three speakers is ideal.

Well, the cover picture does JUMP out at you and that can help rack sales. The internal pix are more conventional.
