Topic: Receiver-Speaker Matching

[raider125jeigh]

Meron na ako Marantz stereo receiver and cdp. Eto yung hinahanapan ko ng speaker. Ang gamit ko ngayon vintage akai coax na BS pero parang may kulang sa sound na gusto ko. Maliit ang sound stage and kulang sa imaging at lambing. Probably  because the BS was designed as surround for a quadrosonic set-up for the Akai before.

try mo b&w 685
bagay ung 685 sa rotel and marantz PM amp

uu lalo na kung music iba ang int amp sa receiver for sure...
audition mo brader...kung audio lang...

[♡ lvcdg23™ ✌]

Share ko lang based from the receivers and speakers I have used.
*Based din sa aking noob na pandinig...

-Onkyo 508 + Polk Tsi = Bright/forward, good for HT
-Onkyo 805 + Polk Rti = Slight bright/forward, very good for HT / good for music and concerts
-Yamaha RX-3900 + Polk Rti = Bright/forward, very good for HT / quite tiring for music/concerts
-Onkyo 805 + Paradigm Studio = Neutral to bright, very good details for HT
-Denon 4311 + JBL LS series = Neutral and quite trebly, very good for HT and music/concerts
-Denon 4311 + Rti = Neutral to bright, very good for HT / very good for music/concerts but somewhat lacking in highs
-Denon 4311 + Goldenear = Balanced and smooth... Very good for HT and music. Passable 2-channel audio performance
-Onkyo 5009 + Goldenear = For me this is the best combination I had for HT. Details are top notch, vocals/dialogs are superb. Concerts blurays are also very very good. Onkyo brought out the best in Goldenear's ribbon tweeters.

Mamaya try ko magdagdag for audio only set up.

heard mezzo laid back and tunog...

was that don master louie's setup? mukhang malaki ang influence ng amp on how the imaging/soundstage of the speaker would be. ang impression ko naman on a mezzo + cambridge setup was it was very forward. parang nasa harap ng mukha mo yung singer. and it was the opposite of laidback because it has really good dynamics and punch.

Bro gerard mukhang ganon na nga ata nangyari, i heard it paired with duetto's and it was a neutral sound imho. It wasn't as laid back when compared to a wharf pero generally speaking it was a lot tamer than usual.

wow, kelangan ko talaga ma-audition yang highend setup ni don master louie 

anyway on speaker-amp matching, i like nad + psb and nad + paradigm. I'm using a ca 550a + paradigm monitor 7 and it's very bright but I intentionally did that to offset the sound I'm familiar with on a nad+psb setup.

[chrisbulog]

My Pio520 & 521 did'nt made my Wharfs 9.4 sing well  . 

Siguro nga kulang sa power yung AVR ko, kaya I ended up selling my 9.4's.

Yung gamit ko speaker ngayon (@98db sensitivity) although not build for HT, but very good in audio & concerts, very happy na ako.

havent heard it right now with amx
nung sinalang namin ni louie un - laidback(doesn't mean bad) paired with sansui
it was detailed - warm to warm
medyo manipis lang during that time..break in period
want na din ni louie ngayon ung warm sound

sa awdyo kasi nakatuwa hehe..na nakakabliw sa pairing
kung bright espekers mo you need the ff
-warm amp
-copper speaker cable
- warm sounding cdp
the other way around kung warm speaker

good sounding audio system does not need to be so expensive...
you just need to match everything haha...sorry napunta sa awdyo

sa ht madale lang hehe..

Agree ako totally sis, nung narinig ko sa spectra yung mezzo 2 paired with yamaha parang rti yung dating.  Detailed and aggressive ang highs.  Nung narinig ko kay louie lumambing ng husto.  I think generally ganon ata effect ng tubes kasi yung klipsch ko din lumambing with the minima.

Kaya gusto testing yung sansui kung malambing din hehe

balik tayo sa speaker matching...saka na si awdyo

and subjective sa gusto talaga ang speaker system pwedeng magaspang saken sa iba ok...or thr other way around

ganda ng review ni louie...daming pinagdaanan haha..almost 2years lang ata yan haha

[royc]

marantz integrated amp w/ polk rti a3 or a1 match ba? yan kasi balak kong pag ipunan na speakers for my music only setup

[tonetagabaler]

Share ko din mga sir using sir louie guidelines as per my own noob ears.
Good, Better, Best as per my taste. :-)

-Onkyo 509 + Polk Tsi 100 = slight bright to bright, better for HT, good for music.

-Onkyo 606 + Wharfe 9.1 = slight warm to neutral, good for HT/good for music

-Onkyo 1009 + Polk Rti a9 = Slight bright/forward to bright, best for HT / good for music and concerts.

- Onkyo 1009 + b&w 685 = neutral to slight bright, better for ht / better for music and concerts

[DTNS]

na-audition ko din tong combo na to dati:

Pioneer + Polk TSi = bright. good for music.

[Cosmic79]

Rotel Integ Amp + Polk Audio RTi A7  Bright Not much bass
Harman Kardon AVR + JBL   Bright

looking for a speaker and a matching amp with FM, 2.1 set-up with a budget of P 40K - P 50K. 

i already have a sub. use is 80% music and 20% movies. likes warm and round sound. 

this might be my next project if i can dispose current set-up. 

the more reco the better for us.  TIA!   

[JoeyGS]

Try NAD reciever and Epos speakers

Hi Guys,

I just want to ask if any of you auditioned Onkyo TX-SR313 on any brand.. Especially for HT setup.

Thanks!

[luis]

tannoy speakers work well with Onkyo.

[chicosci]

Kamusta po ang combination ng Pioneer VSX-1021 and B&W 685?

thanks

[Timithekid]

The 685's do not lose its warm-neutral sound with a pioneer in my opinion.

[raider125jeigh]

Kamusta po ang combination ng Pioneer VSX-1021 and B&W 685?

thanks

i believe that combo can work well...

pioneer bright + b&w warm

[chicosci]

Denon AVR 1713 and PSB Image B6
Harman Kardon AVR 170 and PSB Image B6
Marantz nr1403 and PSB Image B6

Its best to audition them yourself sir, some ears hear differently from others.

how about the yamaha 373 on the wharfe diamond 10 series? i read/heard na ok daw ang yamaha-wharfe combi pero considering na the 373 is an entry level avr, can the it drive the wharfes easily? (will be using in a small room prolly 9x14 ft)

yamaha and wharf go well together, as for your concern about driving it properly, wharf's are not the most efficient speakers.  tutunog naman po sya and maganda parin tunog, the concern though is when the movie or music suddenly peaks and asks for more power, as explained by JojoD in the wharf thread, lean power will cause the lows to be lacking, making the speaker bright.  And if your volume is not properly managed, you amp might end up clipping.  have you tried checking the specs of both items?

[[dcw]aaron]

i haven't really checked on the specs yet..i was asking kasi medjo ok ang pricing (bnew) nung items. and since am still a noob on this stuff ano ba ang kelangan ko tingnan specs wise? kulang pa rin kasi talaga knowledge ko on the technicalities eh. HTIB lang kasi nasubukan ko pa which is more of a "plug n play" type.

check the speaker sensitivity/impedence/power(RMS)
then match it with the amp(watts/ch @ 2 ch driven)
