I have auditioned Polk RTi A3 pair with Rega brio before, sound is warm and very good in vocals music at parang busog sya sa amp na to. pero depende parin sa panlasa mo better audition it side by side with MA BX2. IMO

tama ka sir, kung maguupgrade na lang din aim for RX series.  RX series will now be replaced by new silver series per what hifi news.  baka merong murang RX sa mga AD ngayon.   :)

Wharf Dentons and Diamond 155 are priced almost the same. Which one would you prefer and why for music listening. Haven't auditioned any of the 2 right now.

TIA

Hi guys, I'm closing the choices right now to Pioneer or Yamaha for my next receiver. Considering the prices for 4 BS and 1 center, which would be more compatible with the Yamaha or the Pioneer, aAudio or Wharfedale?

It's going to be 70/30 HT/music.

Thanks ;)

I think both are great options.

And the best thing about your dilemma -  you can actually go to Watts Hi Fi (and other stores which sell both brands) and audition both so you can compare.

I made a comparison, but of their bookshelf siblings (the Rti A3 and the B6) and ended up with the B6. But I think it will just be a question of preference on what sound you like as they sound different.

I would recomend the Polk Audio RTi A7. Excellent bang for the buck. These speakers sound as good as speakers worth twice the price.

They have different characters. Polk is bright while boston acoustic sounds dark. Both are available at Watts Hifi in Makati Cinema Square. Try to audition them, it's free, to get to know what you like.

What AMP or receiver will you use?
I have owned both Polk Audio RTiA3 or Boston Acoustic A26 and based on experience
Yamaha / Onkyo + Polk = Good
Denon / Sony + BA = Good

me too bro, promdi, but I have manage to hear polk rti a7, paradigm monitor9, monitor audio Rx and Bx series, svs, mordaunt short and mission mx series....among those speakers, polk and MA rx ang nagustuhan before I came accross the mission. I did auditioned these speakers in 3 separate visits to the city, it did took me almost a year before I've finally bought an FS and a center. Ang pagiging promdi ay hindi dapat sagabal sa pagpili ng ikaliligaya >:D

What AMP/AVR did you use for testing. Matching is very important.

la pako reciever, pero it would be either a pioneer or onkyo. so the receiver brand affects which speakers to use? di ba maganda labas if i use a pioneer/onkyo/yamaha with BA speakers?

- definitely

Again just my experience and not an expert opinion.
onkyo/yamaha with BA speakers = ngo-ngo
Denon/Sony with BA Speakers = very nice.

But definitely it is a matter of preference in the end.

kung ano ang available sa mga shops na lang noon, but at that time, meron na ako noong marantz sr5005. At first, medyo di ko magustuhan and combi with the mission, then, nakabili ako ng marantz PM90, laking tuwa dahil hindi pala ako nagkamali in taking the mission. Then, ibinalik ko ang combi to sr5005-mission after quite sometime, gumanda na rin ang tunog, that, i believe na gumanda ang tunog after the speakers was broken in...

@coolTOYZ sir,  what can you say with yamaha combi with infinity primus 363?
I cannot compare it with other combi since I never have the chance to audition my gears.  Promdi din kasi ako. I just relied on reviews din bought my gears from sellers here then shipped to my place.

I like the Yamaha V571 + Primus combination when I had it.
Not as dynamic/aggressive as a Onkyo + Primus but very enjoyable.
I would call it a bedroom set-up as you can enjoy a movie without feeling tired.
Sometimes when the sound is very aggressive it becomes tiring... but that is just my preference.
