ay ganun! syet...6 inches


im working on veru limited space kaya max distance ng speakers from the tv is about 2 inches lang e.  hayyyy!  hirap ng maliit na space talaga!


baka pwede nyo naman experiment if meron distortion at 1 inch distance.  im banking on the fact that others dont experience when they palce their center channel on top of their TVs...therefore 1-2 inches away from the TV should also work  ???

Asul,

Kung center speaker no problem ka dyan as for fronts kung spec nya magnetically shielded then wag magalala.. tsaka in case you place your fronts beside the TV minutes lang magdiscolor na yun side where the speakers is place.  :)

Hi Letor,

I have an 8.1 and was able to listen to 9.1 at sights and sounds (Shangrila).  Based on my few minutes of listening to the 9.1, the most noticable difference between the two is in the bass region.  The 9.1 has more bass than the 8.1.  The mid and high section is almost the same.  Maybe the 9.0 will be equivalent to the 8.1 (haven't listened to the 9.0 though) but the 9.1 is, for me, better than 8.1.  To add to that, the 9.1 is already product of the year sa What HiFi magazine.  Now, I'm seriously considering the 9.1 as against to my earlier preference, the 9.6 >:( >:( Just my opinion.

losi_phile


Finally i got a chance to test the 9.1 vs the 8.1. Using the same rotel amp and music:
Observations:
D9.1:
Better bass response (+factor)
Fast transient response (+factor)
More spacious soundstage than 8.1 (+factor)
Vocals quite thinner compared to 8.1 (- factor)

The 8.1 has a warmer and natural vocal sound especially male voices.

Conclusion:

D9.1 - good for instrumentals and instrumental jazz music
D8.1 - good for music with emphasis on vocals.

just my observation.

mga sir, im planning to upgrade my diamond 8.4 to a bookshelf maybe 9.2. OK ba tong 9.2 compared to 8.4, what are the differences, I know the number 1 fact would be the bass reproduction pero a sub would take care of it. tama po ba? and any recommendation for other models or brands in the same price range of the 9.2.

maraming salamat  ;D

Bro,

Hirap compare yun dalawa kasi bookshelf and floorstander.. audition is the best answer kasi like 9.2 eventhough bookshelf meron enough bass for some music pero for head banging time sub na kailangan mo usually advantage ng bookshelf is better imaging and vocals as compare to floorstander but i'm not saying all floorstander can't do the magic that bookshelf do.. pero from my experience from floorstander to bookshelf you'll notice something missing hehehehe yun bass.

Audition mo lang sir.. :)
