what if denon-wharfedale?
nightmare
unless magaling ka mag tweak, tulad ng mga masters dito
sorry for replying to a very old post, just had to comment .. btw my share:
denon 1509 + polk audio = neutral to bright
onkyo 508 + polk audio = very bright *bit harsh IMO* bad for everything (but joelsoldao found it to be OK)
denon 1509 + a-audio genesis = warm to dark .. good for HT *can go really low for a bookshelf, quite impressive* but really bad imaging in music
z5500 + a-audio genesis = neutral to warm, except at higher volumes, it is already muddy at times. (weak amp probably and genesis was harder to drive than the tangband satellites of z5500)
onkyo 508 + a-audio genesis = still bright but not as harsh as the 509+polk
denon 1509 + svs scs = neutral to little bit warm, just right for me
denon 1912 + svs scs = neutral just right *EVEN at higher volume but with better room correction
denon 1912 + svs sts = neutral sts is easier to drive so @ reference volume level it is still better than all my older combinations
denon 1912 + svs mts = surprisingly neutral to warm, but you can feel that the MTS is underpowered. can only play @ -15db *im too scared to play @ higher volume level*
onkyo 807 + svs mts = neutral (*neutral to warm according to ivan),
OK na ako sa receiver but if the room was a bit bigger, baka kulangin pa
i was gonna get a power amp but a master suggested that i wont maximize it *kailangan yata mas mahal na power amp
*.
IMO the best combination i had was the S Series SVS and the denon 1912.
DEFINITELY i wont change my speakers, and at the moment onkyo and my m series seems to be OK (but with added power im sure this system will be better than the S series and 1912).
I am still thinking about getting a marantz receiver or a power amp. (eto mga what ifs ko)
