Author Topic: Wharfedale WH Speakers (Read 16337 times)

ive been using the WH2 for quite some time now, i highly recommend these speakers, they are just under rated maybe because of the price but, you'll gonna expect so much for what you are paying with these speakers.. you can compare these with more expensive brands... attention to detail is quite superb and no delay in sound..these speakers are a good buy for those who are just starting their setups...maybe these speakers are the last youll ever get.

To be honest, the WH-3 sounds like a transistor radio to me when I auditioned it. I sold my WH-2 because it wasnt that good on very loud surround sequences, bumibigay sya. But for average use, it was not bad.

Anyway, I read some THX guy say that they dont recommend spending so much for surrounds since its mostly for effects, etc etc. So the WH-2 is good enough. Because of space constraints, I recently bought a pair of Studio Acoustic (fr Daiichi) ceiling mounted speakers for my 6th and 7th channel. It was only about 2k.

But if you are into multi-channel music, thats a different matter.

Hi MAtZTER, so how do you find Studio Acoustic? Am also thinking of getting a pair for the same purpose (back surround). And where did you buy it?

Thanks and Cheers!!!

I bought it in Raon, RALD allied Electrical supply. 687 G. Puyat St. 733-1777. It sounded bad when I was testing it of course, since it still has no housing. So I have to install it in the ceiling first before I could really judge it. My house is still under renovation so I still dont know how it sounds.

sir, ok ba ang 9.1 and wh-2 combination? im planning to replace my surrounds soon.

Jason_10... talaga ba... nagbabasa talaga ng mga old threads!

Hehehehe...

My two cents... I think ok na yung WH-2 Surrounds and the 9.1 Diamonds. Matching tones na yun.

Let us know when you have your set, okay? Better yet, why not audition the 9.1 with WH-2 sa mga audio shops?

Jason_10 · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 08, 2005 at 08:45 PM »

hehehe...i was wondering kasi since kevlar na yung diamond 9.1 ko, baka may sonic difference sila ng wh-2 na non-kevlar. tempting kasi yung offer ng listening room.

itgbkj · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 11, 2005 at 04:58 PM »

Hey, planning to buy kasi the surrounds ng Diamond 9... (hanggang ngayon, nag iipon pa ako). How much na pala yung WH-2 ng Listening Room? Yun ba yung 3 pc Speaker set?

Jason_10 · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 12, 2005 at 11:47 AM »

hi!i just purchased the wh-2 set yesterday at listening room. 4000php for the center and surrounds.

jsllobrera · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 14, 2005 at 03:12 AM »

Last nov.8, nandyan din ako sa Listening room in megamall at bumili ako ng 9.1 at CS. At bibili na rin sana ako ng surround kaso nagdalawang isip kung DFS o WH2 ang bibilhin ko at pero ngayon nakapag-decision na rin ako, na WH2 na rin ang bibilhin ko.

Same predicament here, Jsllobrera... WH-2 or Diamond 9 RS.

Almost same set-up pala tayo... my fronts are Diamond 9.2 and my center is a CS hooked-up with an RXV-450.

Hmmm... wh-2 or DFS?

Haven't decided yet. yung 9 Surrounds is priced at 3.8K. Hmmm...

saka na lang yun... wala pa ring budget... naubos na kakabili ng regalo.

WH 2 Bi Pole surround = 2,800

If you buy as a set, P3,950.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 08, 2005 at 02:40 PM »

WOW! ang mura na pala ngayon. bought mine at 4.5k.

itgbkj · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 19, 2005 at 01:19 PM »

sige, bagsak pa ng presyo kasi hindi pa rin ako nakakabili ng surrounds ko! Wala naman kasing bonus dito sa company namin! tsk!

Why were these models discontinued by Wharfedale?

Thanks.

itgbkj · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 21, 2005 at 01:18 PM »

Honestly don't know if they discontinued this, but feedback from those who bought the item was always a good buy for the price.

There was only one person who said that he wasn't satisfied with the WH Surrounds kasi bumibigay daw sa ni-try niya na "Air Force One." Parang hindi kinaya ng rears yung ugong ng eroplano.

Ako naman, I post another question on the WH-2 Surrounds vs Diamond 9SRs.

Yung WH2 bipolar, right? pero yung SR, direct firing. Hmmm... Parang mas gusto ko ata yung bipolar eh.

Anyone who cares to comment?

Thanks!

for starters OK na ang WH2,actually Ive been using mine for quite sometime now and di ko na rin pinalitan, never had regrets...it serves its purpose very well, tono lang mabuti ung setup para tumunog ng maayos.

John E. · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 16, 2006 at 08:21 AM »

same opinion. it's reasonable for it's price specially for newbies in this hobby. di sya ganun kabigat sa bulsa makakapag invest ka pa sa magandang amp. but if you're not on a budget it's a different thing

.

im happy with my WH2 kaya ngyung 13th month pay TV nalang i-uupgrade ko!

Goodluck!

AlvinladeN · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 16, 2006 at 11:20 AM »

AlvinladeN · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 22, 2006 at 06:27 PM »

i just got a wh-2 center and surrounds. i was just planning to get the surrounds only but the price is 3k and the center is 2k, 4k if you get them both at spectra park square. sound is good enough for a newbie like me but im planning to change the center to a mordaunt short carnival 5 coz that is what im really planning.

is it okay to put the center speaker on a vertical position?

You'd be amazed at the debates in some AV forums about the effective lobing problems in D'Appolito arrayed speakers that prompt many pundits to argue on whether they sound better horizontally or vertically oriented.

BTW, D'Appolito is the more technical description of many center speakers with Mid-Tweet-Mid arrangement (after the name of the guy who first came out with such a driver arrangement). They are not limited to centers, as there are plenty of L and R speakers with the same array positioned vertically (they were intended to be vertical actually.) Some say the horizontal m-t-m driver array in centers is more an aesthetic and convinience considertation so they can be put on top of TVs.

So without having to go into further discussions,yes, a vertically positioned m-t-m center speaker is just fine.
