What do you think about a pair of m3s vs 1 L3?

@@sevendee I personally like the L3 more than the M3. Of course the bigger the better sound your gonna get. But the M3 is still definitely great sounding also.

I wonder if this speaker could replace my entire hi fi home system. I have a decent vintage amplifier chained with 4 heavy ground speakers, and I would like to get something smaller to free up some space in my room, but without losing any sound quality or loudness. Also it would mean less cables since I connected all of these to my pc cause thats how I listen to music mostly. I also have jbl boombox 3 which is great cause I can put it in my backpack and carry around, but it cant replace my whole system, so I would appreciate any insight from the owner.

watch this video "Loudest Shop System You have Ever heard SMD 8' Towering Towers powered up" look at the towers a bit and then skip to around 8-something minute where he plays music. these towers are 10,000 watts.

I'm not a true audiophile, but I do like expensive headphones. the first time I heard this speaker it was like hearing treble for the first time 🙃

Yeah I agree, these have to be experienced in real life to understand why they're so expensive lol

Good thing is you can chain them all together so it's not like any of them go to waste lol

Bro sell some and buy two matching. Take advantage of the stereo imaging from TWS

@@JayRSwan yes, I need to get rid of the L3 and XL2 and do 2 XL3 for the TWS

Does anyone know if you should turn this bass all the way down if u link it to the sub 8.2?

If I was recommending somebody which speaker to start with, it'd be the SUB8.2. Can pair with any other speaker with an aux input and give amazing bass to anything. You'll definitely be wanting to come back to pair it with another Diamondboxx.

I would definitely keep the XL2 and get the Sub8.2 to complete the madness 😂

This is definitely worth every penny!

When do you test the XX4?

@Flossy Carter I was listening to this on my bowers and Wilkins pi7 and I could hear when the bass changed man especially when you added the subs, im gonna get through Christmas but I'm really gonna consider these

@@profesorz642 I am not sure about your 4 heavy floor standing speakers. Are they also of the vintage type? Are they high end type of speakers? If they are not of the high end, real HIFI type; then I'd say that the XL3 would definitely be right for you! Especially, as it has the image dial button on it; this dial when turned towards the right will give you a fully immersive sound, what the industry refers to as surround sound. This means that with only 1 XL3 in front of you, it will sound like you literally have 2 playing in front of you! I also don't quite understand the need for 4 speakers, as real stereo sound is always achieved with 2 speakers usually put into the stereo triangle position to obtain best sound quality. 4 or more speakers are usually used for home theater type of sound when watching movies, etc. When I had my old High End stereo I added 2 cheaper book shelf B&W speakers to it in order for home theater effect, but I soon found out that they only make sense when watching movies or TV, when playing music my lower high end heavy floor standing Quadral Vulcan speakers were clearly superior to the smaller 2 book shelf speaker, so much that they degraded the sound, which compelled me to turn them off whenever I wanted to enjoy listening to music. I am guessing that you are using your speakers in the same manner: 2 for music and 4 for home theater experience? But really without knowing whether your 4 speakers are high end (even if lower type of high end), I can't assess your situation properly! If you could tell me about these 4 floor standing speakers, I am sure my advice could be of more use.

@@mansurkhan2764 Thank you for your response. You are right, I dont really need all 4 for my room but I liked the combination of sound they produce when put together. I have 2 vintage 3 way speakers and 2 heavy floor standing speakers paired with integrated stereo dc amplifier. Not really high end ultra expensive system but it sounds nice. So the amplifier is techincs su-v8 new class A paired with two altus 110 hifi speakers and two philips fb 850 floor standers with dual 6 inch woofers and ribbon highs. They are connected on two separate channels, so I can listen to them 2 by 2 or all 4 together. The problem is I dont really have a lot of free space in my room so they are not optimally positioned plus I have a cable management problem because they are put in different corners of the room and all of that is connected to my pc along with other stuff, so I want to get read of all those cables without losing any sound quality. I listen to various genres of music with lots of heavy metal, hip hop, techno and even classical music so I need something that can sound great in all of those. Sound quality is extremely important to me, as I like deep, full bass combined with rich, clear highs, but I also need strong speakers cause I sometimes like to listen very loud music without losing the quality when I turn it up. Also, some of the recordings that I have are lower quality because I mostly listen to mp3 format on my pc, or some music from youtube, so I need to have the ability to turn the volume up to compensate, but also a speaker that is forgiving in terms that it can handle a lower quality recording without too much noise. Sorry for bothering you with such a long comment, but I hope I gave you enough information about what I currently have and what I need. I was thinking about getting the XL3 first and later perhaps pair it with sub8.2 for the ultimate combination of lows and highs, so I need your opinion on that. Should I get both, do I need both and would it be enough for music, cinema and all of my needs in general?

@@profesorz642 I took a look online to find some info on the speakers you have; in terms of the Altus 110 HIFI speakers, I was surprised to find that almost all the info was in some eastern European language, but they looked good, when it came to the Philips FB 850 there was a lot of praise for those. Obviously with the Diamondboxx XL3 and the Sub 8.2 you'd need at best only 1 thin cable that comes with those speaker systems, so your cable and space problem will be solved, and if you totally wanted to eliminate any cable you could also connected them via Blue Tooth. I've connected my XL3 with my L3 and it sounds fantastic together; I use a cable that came with those speakers (as that will give you the best sound quality). In terms of strong speakers that don't lose sound quality, when played at even max volume the XL3 or the L3 are the near perfect candidates. You can really crank these up all the way without any noticeable loss in sound quality, and this is of course one the absolute distinguishing features that these great speaker systems have! Moreover, they are ridiculously loud: the XL3 in sound quality mode, will give you 120 decibels, and in sound pressure mode its 122 decibels, so its like literally standing in the front row of a Heavy Metal concert! Just make sure you have very tolerant neighbors, lol... As to the different genres of music, I may be biased cause I love Metal as it has so many different genres within itself (from Melodic Metal through Power Metal to Extreme Metal and everything in between). However, I also listen to Rock and occasionally even some pop songs (once every blue moon, lol), and with these different music categories I would say that pop sounds probably even more amazing, as it doesn't have as many frequencies and instruments to deal with, anyway, all the comments I've read (and I tried to read them all before buying Diamondboxx boomboxes) said that they performed flawlessly with all types of music. As to lower types of mp3 music, just yesterday I listened to a 192 kbps demo recording of a heavy metal band from the 1980s that was released in 2010 or so on a real CD (not CD-R), and it sounded still very good, but obviously you won't get a sound from it that a proper studio recording would give you. I was still surprised by the quality that it retained considering it was just a demo from a long forgotten band from the mid-1980s. With regard to KZfaq, I'm sure that you know that they only transmit at 160 kbps max, so its not even close to 192 kbps, I believe that I can really hear the difference in sound quality, esp. cause they probably transmit only under the best of conditions at 160 kbps! But telling the difference between a 320 kbps recording and even a CD is extremely difficult; blind tests conducted tell us that something in the range of 90-95% of people simply can't tell the difference, and it includes me most likely as well. I think that the XL3 would give you most likely a much better sound, or at least a significantly better sound (obviously I've to speculate a bit, as I have never had any of the hifi gear that you have). But, like I wrote I had a lower high end home stereo: Signature 1.0 Pre-Amp. from Harmon Kardon, and the 2.1 Main Amp. from Harman Kardon to go along with it (these were very powerful, actually I could never turn a CD recording beyond 25% of volume, but these amps were on sale for half the price 2000 euros instead of 4000 at the time). Due to the fact, that like yours it was in a smaller room, so I opted for a Techniques Equalizer 34 band, the best at the time, which I had to get from Ebay, my only non new item. The rest were heavy floor standing Quadral Vulcan Speakers (52 kg a speaker), several CD players, a Sony SA CD player, and a Marantz CD Recorder, while the main one was a Kenwood 200 CD changer with great sound quality (although considered non high end), to name the most important components. And once I bought the XL3, over 20 years after buying my home stereo, I was astonished as to how much better it sounded! The things is that speaker technology has really improved a lot since the last 20 years. I believe that your idea of getting the XL3 is a great one, and then going for the Sub.8.2 is excellent. As a side note, I want to give you my experience: After getting the XL3 I noticed that although it is called the King of Bass I thought that it wasn't enough bass for me, but I soon realized that this had everything to do with the music that I listen to, since Metal music is almost always anemic when it comes to bass guitar, because it tends to be drowned out by the guitars and drums. So I was a bit disappointed as I bought the L3 first and thought to myself now what am I going to do with the L3 since the XL3 sounds better than it? At 1st, I thought I'd get the Sub. 8.2 but as I don't live in the USA the price with import taxes would have been way too much, so I thought how about getting a Subwoofer from Klipsch, but then I thought wait why not hook up the L3, and voila my problem was solved. So in conclusion, I think you can't go wrong with the XL3, esp. in combination with the Sub. 8.2 (I would have gotten that as well, but would have easily had to pay 2.5 times the price of it due to taxes over here). I can only imagine how astonishing that combination would sound! Although I have enough dough to buy this combo 10 times if I wanted, I also have a wife, lol, and she'd probably have a heart attack if I bought yet another Diamondboxx component, esp. since space is also a big issue where we live and I already have 9 BT speaker systems. So needless, to say, all your cable and space issues would be solved with excellent sound quality !! I think the best thing for you would be to go for the XL3 first and see if it gives you the amount of bass you want. If you feel that you still need more bass then the Sub. 8.2 would be the best way to go! esp. if you live in the USA (no annoying import taxes that are rather high in most countries). I am sure that your cinema needs will also be more than met with even just the XL3, as you don't have the whole surround sound system set up. Of course, that type is geared towards movies, etc. with speakers behind you and so on. However, if movies are important to you, then the minimum requirement is 5.1 Surround Sound System, but that means having at least 5 separate speakers, and probably many wires ! Also, in terms of global inflation, the best thing to do is buy high value things, such as vintage cars, wine, and high end stereo gear, cause at the very least they will retain their value, if not get you extra value in the short to long run! P.S. Sorry for going a bit overboard in length, but besides music and literature, high end HIFI gear is one of my big passions. Btw. are you a Professor?

@@mansurkhan2764 Thanks a lot for your time. I don't consider myself as a hardcore audiophile, but I really enjoy a good sound quality. Like yourself, I also listen to a lot of metal variations (power, symphonic, black etc.), but sometimes I like to crank it up with hardcore hip hop beats with heavy bass, or some electronic stuff. However I have the similar problem you described, which sadly I didn't think of myself, and that is the taxes. I live in Eastern Europe, so I have no idea how much would it cost me to get that subwoofer, or even XL3, as its not a light speaker by any means. I have been also looking into Buchardt A500 wireless speakers, as they are similarly priced as this combination we talked about, but sadly I cant find any video or an article on the net comparing it with the XL3. There are also bigger but more expensive A700 floor speakers and Arendal 1723 tower which got a lot of praise, but these are not wireless and would need an integrated amplifier, which defeats the purpose of me reducing the size of my stereo system and getting rid of the extra cables :) P.S. Im not an actual professor although I do have a master degree, it was merely the artisan name I used while I was with my local band.

Hey I just ordered my XL3 a couple of days ago. How long did you have to wait till you got it. I also took advantage of the $400 discount 👌

@@rodiddy4983 It took a good month and change. I was a bit worried at first but it will ship sometime after 30 days. I think they build each unit as they receive them. As for the discount, I think I was bamboozled. They raised prices just to give a discount. In my case, at the time a XL3 was $2399 with a discount code of $400 off. If you look on the website now they’re $1999 so there not really discounted. I’m currently waiting on a SUB8.2 to pair with my XL3. I ordered it on 12/1/22 and it still hasn’t shipped yet..so yeah 😩 Customer service is saying they’re currently having a delay in shipment from the manufacturer. On another note, I love the XL3. It sounds so good ! Can’t wait to pair it with the SUB.

​@qthebaddest5595 hey I just ordered 1 on June 27th how long exactly did u have to wait?? Cuz I still didn't get it yet

Takes a while, but it’s worth the wait! These are hand made

@@FlossyCarter I got it now my man and it sounds amazing 🎶🎶🎶 Definitely achieved ludicrous status 😎 I paired it with the Sub 8.2 & I don’t regret non of it. I’m actually thinking about stacking a L3 and M3 on it. I’m going crazy 🤣🤣 Gotta wait for another major discount tho 👌🏾

I love your enthusiasm and being so excited about the products you review. Instant sub.

​@@CocktailsAndDreamsPodcastthis speaker get your nips hard too?

Oh all i need now is a Playlist.. can u hook me with yours

Trust me in person it’s unbelievable!

I put this XL3 in the back of my SUV and couldn't believe how crazy it sounded haha

Oh my God; I have 1 XL3 and 1 L3 and hooking them up is already a blast; I can't even begin to imagine what 4 XL2's would be like. It must be like transmitting your own live concert to the whole neighborhood, lol. Keep on Rockin' until the police come around knockin', lolz...

Yeah, women just love big speaker systems don't they, lol....🤣😂

You got the Sub8.2?

@@FlossyCarter I ordered mine July 31, 2022. It’s about to be 5 months waiting for it lol. They replied to my email recently saying there was a delay because of some part being remade. But when I get get it 😈🙌🏼‼️😂

My JBL 100 speakers sounding a little weak after a year in a half of having them if I can sell them I would get one of these for my home.

Well I lift weights so this is light for me

@@FlossyCarter Fair enough, bought the JBL Xtreme 3 on your recommendation, and am very happy with it, gets more than loud enough for me and is the perfect size to not become too unwieldly. Bought it on sale for the equivalent of $177 USD, which I think was a pretty solid price. Thanks again!

@@FlossyCarter Damn Flossy you are truly the Man. You might as well start substituting Diamondboxxes for weights, lol. Like I bench press 4 DB XL3's lolz.

Nah that's on your end bro 👀🤣

The M3 does have great sound quality. Add a SUB8.2 to it and you'll be in love. I definitely recommend the L3 over the M3. The step up in bass, quality, and loudness is way worth the money. I have pairs of both BB2's and BB3's. They sound great in spaces, especially corners. But outdoors in wide open spaces (like on my boat in the middle of nothingness on a body of water) the Boomboxes lack so much. I nonchalantly brought my M3 out with me one day just wanting something smaller and portable that day and I was shocked how great sounded. Outdoors sound quality of Diamondboxx's is so legit.

@@jackoff1826 yes definitely agree, I took my m3 to a creek with a bunch of friends one year, completely brought the whole area to life, it sounded so crisp and full, the following year I took my boombox because it’s waterproof and has better portability for hiking, but man was it lacking in bringing the place to life like the m3 did, I think the boombox has a very directional sound, vs the m3 is more multidirectional, also good to know I actually have been wanting to be convinced to buy the l3.

@@christianrobles2743 yes, the clarity and how wide it's sound goes all around the speaker, even behind it is unmatched. I just happened to have my M3 with me to bring on a trip where I was staying in a hotel out of town, so I didn't need anything crazy. The BB3 might actually be better for that purpose since it has more low end bass for inside over the M3, but I was also stopping on the way to attend a college football game that my coworkers' son plays for. I wasn't even thinking about it before leaving, but good thing I brought the Diamondboxx because it was a big tailgating set up they had and they brought no music to it. So I put the M3 on the roof of my Trans Am and cranked it up and it sounded pretty damn good and everyone was asking me how a speaker that small could sound that good. I just wished I had the L3 with me because they'd really see what I could do. I haven't tried the L3 and SUB8.2 outdoors together yet but look forward to it. And wiry their current sale going on and ending doing the colors I guess, I just snapped up an XL3 and another L3 (with bigger battery) both in the Cosmos effect colors. They should arrive on Monday. Here's a more recent video of this guy who compared a BB3, L3, and Devialet in the outdoor setting and you really see how the L3 shines. kzfaq.infogjqpyBSI1L4?si=nPIhezlfJ-T6tP_Q

Exactly

The SUB8.2 is a great addition too, gets down to 32hz. I can't imagine how amazing your 26hz sounds like.

I'm thinking about getting a second sub8 also🤣 My office is definitely a night club 🤣🤣🤣

@@FlossyCarter Here's a thought ... Diamondboxx reunion vid ... I would love to know what all your Diamondboxx's plus my Diamondboxx's sound like together ... Here's a list of my goods (2 XL2's, 2 Sub8.2's, 3 M3's (I even have the limited edition pink model) and I just ordered another 2 Sub8.2's to go with the 2 XL3's I just ordered). We could show that neighbor of yours who the real boss is ;)

It's not the next version of the XL, it's an all new version, bigger and better. The XX4 is like an XXL version. First of it's own version.

bro begging to lose the remaining 10% instead of getting a hearing aid 💀

I have one SB3000. Four must be incredible! With that quality bass shouldn't you be running Hifi tops?

@@WWeiss-nv5vz I went the Hifi route years back with Bi-amped B&W CM10s I found that it does sound better for sure with the right type of songs. However, the cost to even maintain Hifi doesn't make sense for that 10% of songs that sound better. When my receiver went out, and I looked at new ones again, I decided to try high-quality self-powered speakers. Fewer wires also these L3 are my 2nd attempt at this mindset. I am very happy with the outcome. The L3 is amazing and, I still get great depth and separation with two in stereo. I got 4 SB3000 because I wanted that sealed clean bass and the deep lows that a couple ported subs offer. I have them turned down so they just give a clean full sound with really tight bass.

Yeah if you have an XL2 or XL3, the Sub is mandatory to complete the setup.

Yeah but that's not a portable speaker bro. You ever seen anyone with Mackie speakers at the beach? This is about having that same sound, with no wires and you can carry this with one hand🤣

@@FlossyCarter I’ve seen the Mackie Thump GO speaker and the Bose S1. Haven’t checked the JBL 310 party box yet. But those may be competition. All light (one handed) and cheaper. I’d love to see a review on one of those Floss.

I think these woofers do need some time to break in for the bass to settle in. I know it took a good week of for my old L2 to break in and have the bass improve in both volume and quality.

@@linhtran8387 Yeah probably!

Hey Floss I got the l3 and sub 8.2 I linked them one time wireless and they sounded awesome. Next day they won't pair using tws button. How do I "daisy chain" the l3 and 8.2. Help me out doggy plz

I got it connected 🔥

​@@robertcarrillo8261Floss recommended me to go with the L3 + SUB8.2 combo over the XL3 if I only had $2K in hand. I'm damn happy with it. I recommend getting the SUB8.2 first to anybody that already has a decent speaker because you can just pair any speaker to it and it'll sound great...and have you wanting to also go get more from Diamondboxx.

What's the exos 9 like? Especially compared to something like a jbl extreme. Looking to pick one up

@@yaniggasteve2497 I like it. It’s loud and has a lot of bass. Way to much for my apartment. I only listen to it like half volume unless I take it to the beach or pool or some. Floss has an old video on it you should check it out. I haven’t had a jbl extreme though so I can’t compare those.

I have a aiwa exos 9 and I love it. It's been the life of many parties. It still works perfectly fine but I'm just here wondering what might be my next upgrade if my exos gives out

That makes no sense bro, that's like comparing a laptop to a PC. It's 2 different categories... Who's gonna huy a generator to take a 100 pound house speaker outside🤣 you can barley move the JBL around inside the house, much less take it outside. This speaker has to be compared to other portable speakers that you can carry around with one hand like the JBL boombox or Soundbocks, which this speaker easily destroys. If somebody doesn't need a portable speaker, then why not get a big giant house speaker like a Mackie or JBL 1000.

@@FlossyCarter Got it, I think... Hahaha! I didn't say a generator BTW, I'm talking about those portable power stations that cost around $500. Although, a small generator would do the job. I ain't gonna lie, if I got the DB XL3s or JBLs those bitches would NEVER leave my house anyway. I'm not trying to bring the party so hard that I'm willing to potentially scratch up or damage MY $5000 speakers! I think I got a couple Pulse 4s floating around. Deal with it! Hahaha!

Those power stations would only power a JBL for like an hour, you would need a full size gas powered generator to really use them outside 🤣🤣🤣 I wouldn't take the diamondboxx to the beach either, but definitely to the park or for tailgating. For the beach I'm taking 2 JBL boombox 3's and that portable refrigerator I reviewed, and then it's a party lol

@@FlossyCarter Depends on which one you choose... Bro, it's all about the numbers. They make power stations that can run your whole house!!! For example, I have the EcoFlow River Pro and it'll run a refrigerator for several hours. The DB XL3 has a 300Wh battery and the River Pro is 720Wh and costs $500. However, I do concede the point but personally, as I basically said in the beginning, NEITHER of these speakers are really fit to task. You'd be much better off, from a portability standpoint, with almost any mid sized bluetooth speaker. Like the PartyBox 310 for example at around $500, with 18 hrs runtime, 240 watts, IP4x splash proof, has wheels and an extending handle, rugged design, RGB, karaoke, mic/guitar input, etc. You could do 4 of them at the cost of one DB XL3... so nyahh!!! Hahaha! Oh and don't think I forgot about the PartyBox 710 for around $750!!! No battery but it would work better with a powerstaion, like my River Pro. In fact, since the DB XL3 runs around 600w with a 300Wh battery and the PB 710 runs around 800w, if you pair it with the River Pro, it should last almost twice as long at similar volume levels. If you got 2 PB 710s and a River Pro, it would cost around $2000 and last about as long as the DB XL3, I believe... Now that would be an interesting test! I almost forgot, the PartyBox On The Go is on sale for $250 right now!!! Pretty good deal. We still need to live stream soon! I understand if you're scared... j/k! Hahaha! See you later, cuz!!!
