Haven't tried my dentons with nad 326 yet, pero sabi ng friend ko maganda din matching nila. Friendly kasi dentons sa amps kaya i believe the pair would sound sweet also. As for the 326 rx1 pair, maganda for sure synergy nyan. I heard that on my friend's set-up.

ito nga paired ko ang NAD 326 sa isang surround speaker MXS, grabe sa liit ng speaker ang laki tumunog.

The Denton is a top notch speaker and still a winner among the few bookshelf speakers within the same price range I have auditioned

They are still available locally and will be out of stock soon enough.

IMHO, they have won against the Tannoy DC6, Polk Audio Rti A3, Wharfedale 122. I am still in the quest to hear other bookshelf speakers in this price range.

It is because they are being sold cheap saatin. Lucky for us. Sa UK £500 sila.

is this good for rock/new wave music also?

Meron pang Denton sa Listen Up Glorietta 3/F near Mercury, baka makuha mo ng 15k

This is true. Sa singapore SGD800 yan, around 26K converted to peso. Locally, this is still tough to beat comparing it to competition in terms of price range. Lalo na aesthetic wise, di tinipid sa ginamit na veneer, classic enclosure design & finish

ok tong thread ah . . . still going strong. :-)

Still have my pair doing service as part of a secondary system in the living room still powered by my Elicit . . . hard to beat their value, specially at 16k locally. Might keep this forever . . .

Hmmm, pinag-iisipan kong ipalit sa brand new bx2 ko paired with marantz pm6005. Masyado bassy kasi at maliit lang yung music room ko, baka sumakto yung Denton sa requirement ko. I am inclined to neutral sounding due to my frequent headphone/iem listening.

Passed by Listen Up Glorietta yesterday, meron pa naka display na Denton's and I think naka sale sila

juanderer · « **Reply #190 on:** May 28, 2015 at 04:49 PM »

mbtorn · « **Reply #191 on:** May 28, 2015 at 05:16 PM »

Dentons are not neutral though. They are warm-sounding, since they are supposed to emulate the sound of the classic Dentons.

Might be a good pair with Marantz

parang may kulang lang if you listen with rock/ new wave music with it or maybe its just my room.

you can always add a sub to take care of LF para pronounce yung bass pag rock/new wave music..

juanderer · « **Reply #195 on:** May 28, 2015 at 08:12 PM »

i'ts not the LF, its just that parang di bagay sya sa ganong type of music. anyway intayin ko mag break in baka magbago pa

if not its ok., sounds good with vocals naman

sounds interesting... may I know who are willing to do a shootout of their sansui againts my 30watts marantz paired with denton?

this is not a receiver / amp shootout but just wanted to know which vintage brand synergize well, TIA

cyberdraven · « **Reply #197 on:** May 28, 2015 at 10:02 PM »

I heard the denton a couple of times already and i believe it renders a good place on jazz, vocals and slow music. It has some limitations on extreme frequencies which are prominent on playing folk rock and intrument heavy songs. It somewhat lacks that agility and sharp tone or shimmer and the detail of lows. But it excels on mellow tune. It throws that warm and relaxing tone that is pleasing to the ear. Hindi ear fatiguing and i could easily withstand its sound ng maghapon.

This is just me.

i have to agree with you cyberdraven, anong speaker brand is the opposite of this? mean mas suitable for fast rock / dance songs?

kahit ba entry level nila ok na rin?

mbtorn · « **Reply #201 on:** May 28, 2015 at 10:56 PM »

Go for the reference series mark 2. Another alternative is JBL and also, Cerwin Vega.

I
I tried paring my smsl sa 60 with the dentons, they sound well at lower listening volumes but when you turn it up loud, the smsl starts clipping.

The dentons need a decent amount of power to sound their best. Avoid placing it very near the wall

Try to drop by Makati Cinema Square. It's an audio haven. Lots of shop to choose from and carries different brands. Watt Hifi carries PSB, Reference 3A, Paradigm, B&W, Wharfedale, Rega, KEF and marami pang iba. Audio Venue carries Sonus Faber. Toys for the Audio Boys got Monitor Audio, Proac etc., Sensible Audio got some classic preloved speakers. There is also another shop upstairs, I think they carry Tannoy.

tested and auditioned Wharfedale Denton Anniversary Edition at Listening Room Megamall kanina. it was powered by Pioneer Integrated Amp A9-S. malambing at relaxing ang sound. maganda sa mga classical songs, excellent pang 2.0 sound setup...
