I was able to carefully listen to my Sakura-DTX 9.5T stereo set-up last weekend. The set-up sounded OK on my Band of Brothers and Ice Age DVDs. I played some of my dance and re-mixes CDs like New Wave Mega Mix One and Two and Re-Activate and they also sounded good. But when I played CDs from Pearl Jam, Nirvana, REM and U2 oh crap! It did not sound like they are my favorite bands. I then tried my Diana Krall DVD, DK’s voice is great but the sound of guitar, piano and cymbals are lacking.
DTX 9.5T paired with budget amp like Sakura is OK on movies. On music, it depends on what type of music you are playing. My Sakura-DTX 9.5T set up lacks detail and clarity. The sound of DTX 9.5T will definitely improve when paired with branded receiver.
To compensate for lack of detail and clarity on my set-up, I’ve connected my Cambridge satellite speakers on DTX 9.5T. Now, I have the good mid-bass sound DTX 9.5T and the detail and clarity of mid-high sound of Cambridge satellite speakers.
HAPPY
SATISFIED?
