Topic: Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series

[LETOR]

sir spectra,

pwede ba mag request nang tulong sayo kasi, segurado alam mo to eh.
Kasi my bro wants to buy Diamond 9 series dito at gusto nya raw e freight sa kanya. kaso lang di ko ma estimate yung cost of shipping. Dapat raw malaman ko kung ano ang DIMENSION at GROSS WEIGHT ng speakers na naka carton pa.

Can you furnish me the following information of these D9's: Diamond 9.6, Diamond 9.1, and Diamond 9.CM. 

a) DIMENSION, in mm or cm (WxDxH) of the carton/box of the speakers
b) GROSS WEIGHT, kg (the speakers plus the carton/packaging)

I believe is these information are indicated in the original packaging/carton.
 
Thanks in advance for any information you can share....

i've had the 9.1's and it seems 5 kgs each nga. so the 9.6's must be 20 kgs each rin. you really have to see those behemoths!!! if you're familiar w/ the b&w 602's, stack 3 of those. ganun kalaki

any comment/opinion between the diamond 9.1 and the 9.2? satellites will be partnered with a dtx 4.10 subs in a rather small room so i'm looking at the smaller 9.1.  i have read here glowing reviews about the 9.2, but find it rather large for my application. i'm just wondering if i will be missing anything if i go with the smaller 9.1, or if it will integrate nicely with the rather large 9.CS center. also, i'm of the opinion that the 5" 9.1 driver will give me better clarity and imaging. how about the diamond/yamaha rxv450 combo?

opinions please.

I don't think you miss anything if you choose 9.1 against 9.2 as long as you integrate it with your sub ( and proper adjustment ).. as for clarity and imaging no problem din its not with the driver size that dictates imaging and clarity its more on speaker design and the amp/preamp you use.

Yamaha x50 series and Diamond 9 hmmm have heard good news about this combo pero better audition it to make sure it suite your taste..

happy auditioning.

Hi, I'm a happy owner of a RXV450 with 9.2  I initially wanted to get 9.1 since it was cheaper... but I was pursuaded to get 9.2 instead.  The shop owner said, 9.1's are good for surrounds, just a bit more, you can get the 9.2 which are really "bigger" than the other.  Well, there it is, I was actually surprised when I got my 9.2 - malaki nga talaga.

Now, my 9.2 are paired with the CS (not the CM - mahal kasi yung CM).  I'm saving up for the surrounds 9.2 DFS (tama ba yung model for the surrounds?).  All in all, Wharfes with rxv-450 and a dai-ichi 150Watt sub - good enough for me!

Let us know what you decided on!

9dfs smaller than the previous 8dfs

[itgbkj]

Thanks for the tip on 8dfs vs 9dfs... but I'm settled with 9dfs so that I can safely say that I have Wharfes 9 as a set-up.

Hey, feedback... does an 8dfs really perform better than 9dfs?

[slayer]

Heard a 9.6 paired with CJ EL84/RA1072 amp and all i can say was WOW!! Came out of the box which explains the stiffness of the mids but the high was open immediatly!  If i have the room for that monster, i'll gladly place it there. ANG LAKI!

Newbie po mga kapatid!!! First time ko magsetup ng Separates. Medyo maliit lang budget kya i might get a Yamaha 450 as a AVR. Kaya ba idrive ng 450 yung 9.4 and 9.2? Napansin ko lang kasi na most of the AVR used in this forum is HK. Malayo ba difference nung dalawang AVR?

the hk have more power but both can drive the wharfs. have a listen to both amps and pick what's best for you.

no need for a complete setup at once. pick the best components you can afford and add on when budget permits.

you may want to visit spectra in park square 1. they carry yamaha's, hk's and wharfs.

[H a n $]

Rhandz,

Bumblebee is right any of the AVR can drive them it just depend on your preference, best is audition this speaker with HK or Yamaha since both have different character in sound. 

happy auditioning..
