Introduction

Speaker maker HiVi Research is sprawled across three cities in China, and encompassing nearly a half-million total square feet of production space.  This family-owned operation produces 30,000 speaker pairs and 120,000 raw drive components every month, or over 2 million units a year. They do so in facilities equipped with scores of automated and computer-controlled manufacturing components programmed and operated by trained technicians.  Online audio retailer AV123.com's visiting designers were astounded by the tremendous technical sophistication and exceptional pride of the contributing craftsmen, and elected to ask this maker to produce an entire range of speakers to their specifications.  One of the products of this partnership was the Diva Swan 2.0 speaker ($250 - $200 when the review was done), a physically very attractive system that we will look at in this review.   Noted that AV123.com is no longer a distributor for the product line.  The line is available from The Audio Insider.
