I think 80 watts yung available na US Audio Center Speaker, with one midrange and a tweeter. Price is about Php 1.2K


Much better yung DTX center Speaker, 2 midrange and a tweeter, 100 watts ata and worth Php 1.6K.

Yes, meron sa daichi Showroom Megamall, pero mas mahal sa kanila kasi SRP-based ang prices nila dun, dapat nga hindi sila nagbebenta don. Anyway sa Raon ka bumili, para mas makamura ka.

Sa malapit sa Quiapo Church, tanungin mo lang kung saan malapit yung RAON Shopping Complex, marami dun, then sa kahabaan ng Raon (G. Puyat St.), marami din dun.

FYI,
      For those looking for dai-1chi, us audio, dtx and etc. , try buying from Knight Audio Room. They have one of the most lowest priced items for sale there in raon. Its located in the raon shopping center, just below the Dai-1chi showroom. Their store is kinda small so most of the items they have for sale are not on display and are only shown in catalogs. Their tel.# is 7363881 to 82, look for Jennifer.

Hope this helps :)

Pards, nasa raon ako kahapon, sobra ang pawis, pero di ko pa rin makita yung dai-ichi showroom, saan ba pinakamalapit na landmark noon?

Regarding subwoofer, cheked out my monitoring:
US audio sub=P5.5 and DQ12=P5k. I've heared na marami raw pekeng US audio and Dynaquest subwoofer along raon? how true is this kaya?

it's at the 2nd level of the same building housing Chow King at Raon St. corner Quezon Blvd (about 2 blocks away from Quiapo Church)...

As for fake Dynaquest, I really doubt it for that kind of price whether they can still do decent margin by coming up with imitation units.

Meron, I think may at least three shops (sorry forgot their store names) duon ang reseller ng mga Receivers.

Ang mga products nila ay Pioneer, Yamaha and Onkyo. Marantz.


Suggest lang, give us a particular brand and model you are eyeing, so we suggest you a better and "safer" place where you can buy the item.

Same lang ang price dun, kung mas mababa man is just a matter of a hundred or two. Mas mahal pa actually. Marantz 4300 there has a tag price of 17.5K. Pioneer 511 and Yamaha 430 is more or less 15.5K.

"safer" : Di gaanong maganda ang service duon, mahirap makakuha ng good customer service cause most of them didn't undergo training of such. Baka magkaproblema ka sa warranty, or sa service.

went to the showroom last monday.

guys, if you have a small room like mine and you need to install rear speakers near the ceiling, better to take a look at the egg satellite speaker which is around 2k per pair. the speakers is tilted downwards therefore the sound is maximized in the area you are located.

big advantage is that lifetime free labor.

note however that they are not building the drivers. it is imported and they just plaster their brand. what they do is they will assemble the speakers in their pasig plant.

also, they need to introduce exciting products to be more attractive to serious ht listeners.

iba pa rin ang perceived value of an item.

Are these Dai-ichi locally assembled speakers?

If those dai-ichi speakers are more expensive than wharfes, maybe the wharfes are a better choice.  (Parang imported chicken na mas mura kesa sa local.)

I know wharfe diamonds use kevlar cone materials that have better sonic characteristics than other mateirals except metal drivers. Try comparing which sounds better to your ears.

' Been to Raon Dai-ichi speaker showroom last friday. Here's my observation:
1. Nagtitipid, walang aircon
2. Uncommodating ng sales person.
3. Mas mahal ng di hamak kesa sa standard outlet ng dai-ichi.
4. You wont think of getting back to the store again.

Just my personal opinion.

Maraming mas mura, kahit sa baba lang ng showroom. Kasi wala naman talagang sales sa showroom. Binibigay nilang price is SRP.

Guys, aren't the drivers for Cerwin Vega! made by Dai-Ichi?  


dai-ichi is an oem, you can design your own speakers and have then make it for you, although in huge quantities, yes it wouldn't be any surprise if name brands have their speakers made by dai-ichi, in the same way "quam" is an oem for a lot of stateside speakers, the name brands ones....

last thursday kasama ko si tsonngo_26 nag audition kami sa Dai-ichi showroom sa Megamall. Ayos naman pala ang sound ng US Audio and DTX speakers, para sa akin pwedeng ikumpara ang Dai-ichi speakers sa Wharfedale. Nagustuhan ko yung DTX 9.5X slim series. Kinuwento na namin kina cebuyas_bombay and positive-noise yung audition namin. si cebuyas_bombay naniwala na maganda ang DTX speakers kasi narinig na niya yung DTX 9.5T paired with Onkyo receiver sa isa naming office mate. si positive-noise di talaga naniniwala walang bilib sa Dai-ichi.

last saturday with tsonngo_26, cebuyas_bombay, positive_noise and a friend pumunta kami sa raon mall para mag-audition ng Dai-ichi speakers. well after na marinig namin yung sounds ng speakers and subs finally convince na rin si positive_noise na pwedeng alternative ang Dai-ichi speakers. Ako yung slim series ang ok sa akin.

DTX 9.5T (floorstander) - P5.1K sa showroom - P3.8 sa Knight audio store
DTX 9.5B (bookshelf) - P2.9K sa showroom

mas maganda mag-audition sa megamall kasi 5.1 ang set-up nila, sa raon kasi pro-logic lang. anyway parehong mababait yung mga tao sa megamall and raon showrooms. yun lang po. ;D ;D ;D

Diamond 8.4 and 8.3 compared to EFD 60. mas ok yung performance ng EFD 60 mas mahal lang nga.

Diamond 8.1 and 8.2 compared to EFD 55. mas maganda ang EFD 55. mas malakas ang bato ng bass. almost the same price lang ng wharfedale bookshelf speakers.
