ICE,

pa session naman sa bahay ng tito mo, hehehe. seriously, congrats sa tito.

sir chito,

comparing a floorstander to a bookshelf would be like comparing apples to oranges, anyhow, with the performance of the 9.2 i would think twice before getting another of the same price range.

just would like to add, had compared the 8.3 with the 9.4 quite extensively, i say ill go with the 9.4 anytime..... even with my eyes closed!

Sir Chito,

If you have the money, go for 9.2..but the problem is you need speaker stands (kung gagawin mo syang floor stander)... Halos unti lang naman ang price difference nila ..

chito,

Bro ano current front speaker mo? if floorstander then get a bookshelf naman tutal meron ka na stands.

Chito C. · « **Reply #433 on:** Nov 16, 2004 at 05:35 PM »

mga sars,

Using bose accoustimass as fronts for ht (2 cubes +1 bass module) for my ht setup at my room (along with yamaha 440 whc2 center and surrounds). Using my sony compo (big bookshelf speakers with stands) at the sala mostly for audio. Sony speakers definitely better than the bose but I don't have space for the sony speakers. Once I decide to buy 8.3 or 9.2 then I'll buy a video rack that will solve spacing problems. Not yet interested in buying a sub this year coz of my almost 2 year old baby boy (umiiyak sa malalalim na tunog at boses). Although it would be cheaper to just switch my sony speakers and bose speakers and just buy a nice rack i'm afflicted with sars (dahil sa inyo!). warfs ht setup lahat.

8.3 o 9.2?

If you plan to use it for audio setup.. 9.2 ako pero kung HT 8.3 since wala ka pa sub baka mabitin ka sa HT mo with a bookshelf...

8.3 o 9.2?

Hmmm..madami-dami pala ang conditions mo Sir Chito... definitely I'll choose 8.3 over 9.2 sa set-up mo for ht kasi kulang talaga sa bass ang bookshelf..lalo na kung gagawin mong front for HT at walang susuportang subs..but, you have two choices in here..either na unahin mo muna yung subs mo (example dq-12 approx around 6k)..tapos saka ka bumili ng bagong 9.2 (I also have a 2 year old baby but I always see to it na tolerable sa ears nung baby ko yung subs kapag nanonood kaming pamilya using our HT) or buy an 8.3 now and get the subs later (kaso for me bitin pa rin ito... malaki kasing factor yung subs lalo na kung HT ang pag-uusapan

)

Anyways, it's still your choice in the end no matter what..

Sir in my opinion, better get 9.2. You will never enjoy HT without sub even using 8.3, I'm sure bibili ka rin ng sub so better settle for the best from speakers na pang HT na pwede pa audio tested pa ng mga kapatid natin sa forum.
During my first time with HT i had experienced 8.3 and 8.4 so i can compare them with 9.2, malaki ang improvement, sa driver pa lang aluminum die cast na compared to 8.3 & 8.4 honestly, twice ako nagpapalit ng 8.3 dahil nagki-clip siya.
