Topic: Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series

[aHobbit]

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?

Sir,
kasi yung baby mas sensitive tenga nyan kaysa sa atin - so they know the good speakers - e umiyak, so kailangan palitan!   I think your babe will hear the bass out of 9.2, only you have to sacrifice not hearing the bass yourself (sori bok, ganito daw talaga tayong matatand..) until your baby grow a little older - kinda mag equalize yung hearing nyo sa bass level - then you can convince him to buy the sub na!

naku po, kailan pa yon! hehehe. pag nasa 20s na si baby ba? e that would be 18 years from now. 

[wanderlust]

Sir wanderlust mukang haping hapi ka sa 8.3 ha.

You know before the day na dalin namin sa bahay mo yung 8.3, i listen to it for the last time and maganda talagang tumunog, nagdalawang isip nga ako eh kung bebenta ko pa or not.  Anyway, mahalaga pareho tayong hapi  after ng 9.1/9.2 project ko integrated amp naman  gastos na naman

oo naman sir, basta everybody happy ayos yon.....   kailan kaya dadating rose wood na 9.4

Chief Ice,

Kumusta naman performance ng sub ng Wharf in terms of LFEs sa movies? Plan ko kasi kumuha para sa bedroom and medium size ung room and to be paired sa JBL LX 2004 floorstanders and to be driven by HK 35550.

Thanks.

my uncle's sala was 14 feet x 16 feet, with the left side opening to the main hall of the house..

the sub was able to pressurize the room with low bass, level setting was not even half the max volume yet. we tried it with several movies and it was ok...

i havent listened to it again since last weekend though, might have to go back after a few months to reset channel levels after the speakers and sub break in

Hello there DVD Gurus I'm really new here at pdvd and I would like to have
a HT setup with diamond 9s:

9.3 (front)
9.CS (center)
9.1 (surround)
9.SW150 (sub)

Has anyone of you tried or auditioned diamond 9.3?  I'm also looking for a 6.1 channel receiver that
would fit to above speakers. Any suggestions my budget for the receiver is around ~20k.

Cheers.

[kid]

my choice of receiver if you intend to purchase those diamond 9s is either yamaha or harman kardon.

Sir, much better if you could stretch your budget a little further..
For 60HT/40 Audio Setup, I recommend Yamaha.. rx-v650 (7.1) approx 25k
For 50HT/50 Audio Setup, I recommend HK .. maybe 230 or lower approx 25k

I'd get an HK, though Yamaha does have nice DSP features for movie viewing.  Are there no recommendations for NAD + Diamonds? 

[Chito C.]

wala bang reviews ng 9.3?

NAD + Wharf... IMHO minsan muddy sound and roll off yun high NAD kasi warm same as Wharf.

[wanderlust]

HK all the way.... but its just me thought and i own a yamaha avr 

[aHobbit]

I have to hear both and keep an open mind & common (hearing) sense to make the selection! 

[hunnyko]

I've read some of the specs of HK and YAMAHA and they are rated at 8ohms, is it ok to pair
them to wharfs diamond 9s which are rated at only 6ohms?  What would be the effect on its power?
Or should I get a reciever with a rating of 6ohms?

Cheers

both HK and Yamaha are good for Wharfs... 
HK + Wharf = 50% Audio/ 50% HT
Yamaha + Wharf = 40% Audio/ 60% HT

Note: Wharfedale Speakers are compatible with any 8 Ohm amplifier output (Taken from wharfedale site) 

[wanderlust]

sir hunnyko,

there will be no ill effect when pairing a 6ohms speaker to an 8ohms amp/avr, vice versa.

actually it is within the safe zone, i dont know about the other yamaha models, but mine has this switch at the back for ohms selection, and in one of the switches there is printed (6ohms-8ohms), what im trying to drive at sir is that the 6 or 8 ohms rating is not really a mandatory requirement as this equipment are expected to handle, 6, 8, 16 ohms load (amp/avr), while speakers though rated at 6 or 8 ohms ideally operates within the 6 to 8 ohms zone.

a word of caution however, there are power hungry speakers out there with  ratings of 4ohm or lower, with this type of speakers, you need to have amps/avrs which specifically are rated to handle 4ohms load or lower, otherwise you will run the risk of over loading the amp/avr.

hope i have been of assistance.
