Sa brochure nila they say they are using Nonster Cable for the wiring.
Why bother with FERRO fliuid on the Tweeter? If your are reffering to the 8 series, definitely 9 series have better drivers & enclosures. I had a many experienced with Diamond 8. Sound? Diamond 9 has 2 steps better thatn the latter. (This is just me)
I checked out the diamond 9 brochure in PDF and by using the search tools I searched for the word Monster not Nonster(LOL) and there were ZERO results, meaning it was never mentioned which leads me to believe that the 9 series were NOT wired using these expensive cables. I had suspected this ever since no one tried to answer this question since I "trolled" this thread. Then, you replied.
I am not trying to contest which sounds better (very subjective topic), what I'm really after is to know how much these speakers cost by figuring out what they are made of.
Presently, Diamond 8.4 is about P8,000+ while its Diamond 9.5 equivalent is priced about P12,000+.
Diamond 8 is wired internally (FACT) BY MONSTER XP CABLE, DIAMOND 9- I'M NOT SURE
DIAMOND 8 TWEETER-FERRO FLUID COOLED, DIAMOND 9-NOT SURE
Why bother with Ferrofluid?
Here's Why:

Applications
They are used in loudspeakers to sink heat between the voice coil and the magnet assembly, and to passively damp the movement of the cone. They reside in what would normally be the air gap around the voice coil, held in place by the speaker's magnet.
They also have friction-reducing capabilities as well. If applied to the surface of a strong enough magnet, such as one made of
Neodymium, it can glide across smooth surfaces with minimal resitance.
