Your first impressions as you see the speakers will be very skeptical. If you're human you have to be, and most certainly I was, since I could not imagine a speaker system this small could produce impressive sound quality. However after you turn it on it's a totally different story. It's as if you have fitted a Ferrari engine into a minimoke.

The Trebles and Midrange is great giving the perfect frequencies as needed. Clarity is very good and due to the built in Distortion Limiting Processor (DLP™ ) it virtually eliminates Distortion if it detects distortion from its input source. What all this means to you is that the 3025 delivers crisp, clear, well balanced sound quality. As for bass the 15W woofer gives a good thumping. The bass is deep and precise; it won't be loud enough to make your ears shatter but it'll mark its presence with dignity. It appears that Diamonds Audio Technologies main aim in developing these speakers have been to get the most with the least amount of expense. If you ask me I think they have done a splendid job. Unlike most other manufactures Diamond Audio has given a great deal of thought to get the best possible quality from their speakers.

There are three reasons as to why these speakers sound so good; firstly they have made their drivers very efficient. The cone is made very light, and the magnet is of a higher grade than normal creating more focused sound. The voice coil is made of pure copper resulting in the cone moving very easily and therefore most of the power received by the speaker is transformed into sound waves. The second reason is the cabinet design. The ported design increases the volume and bass capabilities of the speakers. And the final reason being the power output of the speakers. If you have had any experience in speaker hunting you'll know only too well that most manufactures exaggerate the specs they specify in their speakers. Some specify that their speakers are 5W, yet the harsh reality is that they are much less than that. Some manufactures specify fancy R.M.S. ratings, however one look at the power supply and you can easily identify that they are not capable of supplying the specified power. The ProMedia 3025 power supply is rated at 39Watts, which is more than adequate for the system.

The Tests

Just to see how well the 3025 fares we put it through a series of tests and I must tell you the results were not bad at all. Firstly I played a few DVD's to see how well these work on movies. I usually use the movies 'Rock' and 'Matrix' to test the sound qualities of speakers, since I believe these movies to really work individual components of a speaker to its max. You don't need to take my word for it, just watch the movie. Anyway as for the sound it was simply great. All three speakers played its role well in the countless explosions and firing throughout these two movies, and the movie dialogue was crisp and precise. Especially in the helicopter gun battle scene, the sound was incredible, giving the perfect balance and blend in sound making you feel as if the movie is real. However there's always a 'but' to every good thing; when you increase the volume way beyond the halfway mark the sound starts to distort slightly. I was quite disappointed with this, but hey one minus point isn't too bad now is it. I tested a few games such as Quake III, NFS IV and the explosions, the gunfire, engine revs, were simply great. You have to hear it to believe how good they sound.

What we should consider most when listening to the 3025 speakers is that they are only $80 in price. When you talk about value for money this is sure to be on top of the list. I mean think about it, why would you want to spend over a hundred dollars on a speaker system when the ProMedia 3025 sound just as them or in some cases better.

Conclusion:

By now you should have a good understanding as to how good the ProMedia 3025 speakers are. When it comes to value for money Diamond Audio Technologies is so confident that their speakers stand out of the crowed that they are willing to refund the purchase of any ProMedia speaker system, if anyone produces another speaker system that could match theirs in its price range and most importantly its quality. I think that's a very bold statement to make, but as far as I can see they have nothing to fear at all. So to wrap things up I'll just say that if you're an average user who's looking for great sound for a very reasonable price, then do not hesitate for a moment; get your self one of these gems.
