Topic: Speaker Comparisons

oo nga pala. i also auditioned the rx2.....i like the rx1.

[Conan]

i auditioned rti a3, rx1 and mezzo 2.....my choice was the mezzo 2.

i had a hard time deciding between the 3 brands. all sounded well and balanced.

took me sometime to decide on what to get.

maybe if i had a more powerful amp, or a different amp. i might lean towards the rx1

the mezzo 2 and rti 3...hmmm a bit on the similar side but the mezzos sounded a bit more refined.. both are easy to drive. a decent 40 watter can.

by the way i also considered the mezzo 1, it was at par with the 3 other speaks. it was very musical. not a bassbeast though but i like the way it presents the bass. if i had a smaller room then.....

the 3 other speaks sounded big for their respective sizes.

all of them sounded nuetral. some on the warm side some on the bright, but just the same, nuetral.

the three speaks?? an eeny meeny miny mo choice.

good day

That's exactly also how I would characterize Mezzo 2 as being a "refined" speaker. The Mezzo's aspirated tweeter design also makes it have a slightly more "open" or "spacious" sound.

If you are looking for speakers dedicated to music, you might want to look for unpopular and rare Tannoy speakers with Dual Concentric drivers that is made in UK.
I currently own MA RS1(bookshelf) and Tannoy D50(Floorstander) and the tannoy is more musical and refined.

MA RS1: Detailed but forward/bright; very good tight bass for its size; exciting/sparkling sound; very good all-around speaker for both music and HT

Tannoy Profile 635/D50: Vanishes in the room leaving you to listen only to music, has never heard a floorstander that can do it; very good imaging; tighter and deeper bass than MA RS1; laid back sound;  Very good for vocals, jazz, instrumentals, classical/orchestra.

Hey guys. Good morning. Hingi lang sana ako ng recommendation kung anong speaker ang ikakabit ko sa lumang Yamaha RXV-440 na nabili ko din dito sa PDVD around 2007. I needed an upgrade from my crappy Konzert 5.1 na medyo masakit sa mata.  What should I look for? May nakita akong Jamo na 5 speakers almost 10k lang sa SM appliance and hihingi lang ako ng advice before I take the plunge. Medyo na-ignore ko kasi tong hobby natin nung naging busy sa work. Gusto ko sana floor standing ung fronts para bagay sa TV ko. Thanks in advance! You guys are awesome.

Which is is better Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 or B&W DM 302? Supposing this will be driven by a Rotel Integrated amp.

[james16]

B&W DM 302

[LETOR]

B&W DM 302

sir, can you give a brief description on why you choose the B&W over Wharf like,  how would the combination would sound as in speaker + amp matching etc...

thanks.

Hands down the 302. Why? Because the diamonds sound ngo ngo to me. Parang kinuluban ng kumot yung speaker.

[Tavus]

how about Klipsh hd 500 vs Wharfdale diamond 9

Masters recommend naman kayo speakers na warm/laid back to neutral ang character. Yung suitable for slow, ballad, easy listening songs. To paired with tube cdplayer and tube amp. Budget around 30k to 40k. Thanks

Sir the SVS MTS-01 has a -3db attenuator switch so it can be laid-back or neutral, depending on your preference.  Also has port plugs to make it a sealed speaker, for adjusting bass response naman.  Sorry for shameless plugin, hehe.

For some reason I really liked monitor audio silver for tubes. I liked the cayin monoblocks + rs8 combo. Wondering how your cayin tubes + rx2 would sound like.

May available na ganun na stands ba sa SG?

Naku pasensya na Don Master Louie for underestimating your purchasing greatness, mas bagay siguro kung MA GX100. Tubes + Ribbon tweets =
