Thanks rustyns. How about specs?

TIA.

I don't have manuals for the above amps since I don't personally own any of them (yet). So I don't know the detailed specs. What I can remember are the "published" watts per channel.

387a - Front 250 WPC, Surround and Center 50 WPC
737a - 1,400 WPC

5024 - 500 WPC

I'm not sure if that would be of any help

Thanks,

Try Phasetron, Park Square 1.

If I recall correctly, I saw some Sakura's in Anson's.

Go to Raon para sigurado.

The 387A has a new, better looking (IMHO) faceplate. I think the amp specs are just the same.

Just bought a Sakura AV387a yesterday from Moses Aaron. Bro arturallanj, I hope you don't mind me using your name to get that 5% discount. Also bought a DTX 4.12 subwoofer. My fronts will be those Euro 8 towers which I will hopefully be getting today at SM Megamall. Since I'm new to this, I will be fielding some newbie questions to you guys from time to time.

Thanks in advance!

Sakura AV387a = PhP 3700 less 5% = PhP 3515
DTX 4.12 = PhP 7500 less 5% = PhP 7125

Call them for availability of the DTX first.

very elusive yan tubed Sakura amp. up to now wala pa ako makita for audition, i bet yun mga fellow members natin near makati can try and audition it from audio shops in makati where it was last sighted. don't forget to review!

cheers!

Was also waiting for that review of the 'hybrid' amp. Sa tagal, bumili na lang ako ng Sakura AV-387.

And to repost my query before: Ano magiging advantage nitong hybrid unit na ito as against the Sakura AV387a?

Thanks in advance!

Tubey sound because of the preamp?

JojoD818 · « **Reply #641 on:** Nov 29, 2005 at 02:09 PM »

syempre tubey.

seriously, hybrid front-ends tends to minimize input clipping by squashing clipped signals. i imagine it to sound good, kaya lang very elusive.

Isn't that the way of brotherhood? Of course, I don't mind! It works for everyone. Dealers get more sales, you, my brothers, get discounts and I, get a better record at their store, which helps make me a special customer to them.

Here's another tip: Ask Pareng Mike (yes, he is literally my kumpare, he became that because he was a good friend when I was just starting out with my HT hobby) for their prices of the Euros 8 speakers, compare it with the prices at Mega, then inform Mike of the prices if it's lower at Mega. Maybe he can match the prices at Mega or even go lower. I got my entire Euros 8 system last year at Moses Aaron, the price difference was significant that time. But if mas mura pa rin sa Mega in the end, then get them at Mega. Ingat.

leomar · « **Reply #645 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 09:48 AM »

the last time i asked moses aaron about the towers, they're selling it for PhP10k, at mega? PhP6k

that was october, ewan ko lang ngaun

Oo naman. If the Sakura is indeed 250 wpc, wag mo lang itodo.

atomicat10 · « **Reply #648 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 10:57 AM »

yun nga eh, baka kasi accidentally matodo masira yung 9.1

ask again if this entry level setup is ok na:

387a
WHARFE 9.1 fronts
WH2 surrounds
dtx 4.10 sub
pls. suggest a center _______

thanks

bumblebee · « **Reply #649 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 10:59 AM »

Diamond 9CS. Or another 9.1.

atomicat10 · « **Reply #650 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 11:06 AM »

where can i buy the wharfes cheapest?

bumblebee · « **Reply #651 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 11:10 AM »

Pare-pareho lang ng price e. Mura kc.

Try Ambassador in Park Square 1. Kaso nde yata ganun ka-OK after sales dito.

atomicat10 · « **Reply #652 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 11:23 AM »

howabout speaker cables sir, what do you recommend?

what are banana plugs, are they better? pwede siya sa 387a di ba?

thanks.

thanks.

I use gauge 12 AudioPro's (gauge 14 is also recommended). Got them from Deeco, Raon. Just remember, the longer the wires, the thicker they should be.

I think the 387 accepts banana plugs. I only use banana plugs for convenience.

atomicat10 · « **Reply #654 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 12:39 PM »

Which is a better combo for 387 wharfes or dai-ichi speakers, what are the notable(but cheap) floor stander models of the 2 brands.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The most popular but inexpensive floorstanders from Daiichi is the DTX 9.5T. Around 3,300 I think. Entry-level floorstanders from Wharfedale would cost more than twice of that.

indie boi · « **Reply #656 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 01:43 PM »

I'll add in a question to Atomicat's own query...

Are those DTX 9.5Ts a good buy if you plan to setup an audio only setup? If not, what speakers would you recommend that are a good match for a Sakura but are also affordable?

rustyns · « **Reply #657 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 02:00 PM »

Does anybody have detailed specs for the DTX 9.5T?

Sorry, OT na ata

arthurallanj · « **Reply #658 on:** Nov 30, 2005 at 02:06 PM »

I'll post it sa Daiichi thread na lang.
