I AM SURPRISED with my Bowers and Wilkins 607 and Onkyo A-9110!
Really I am. Nabigla po ako sa super smooth na tunog. I am particularly surprised with the CD of Shirley Bassey The Great. There was no grain, screechy, "garalgal" in the opening of the song! It is a revelation why mahal ang speakers. Aside from that, the vocals of Shirley Bassey is confident to effortless. Before, the prolong notes of Bassey is grainy, screechy, not pleasing. When she said, "Darling, it's I". The word "I" is confidently sang. Mayroon na pong confidence si Shirley Bassey sa kanyang pagkanta, dati po wala. High notes were ugly before. I think I have reached the right sound, pero tingin ko po may ibubuga pa po ito.
I never heard Shirley Bassey sounded smooth, liquid like, effortless in my previous setups like: Grado SR60 headphones, Sennheiser HD600 headphones(no quality amplifier yet), and AKG 701(a nightmare headphone if no proper amplifier is present). I was in headphone world before. Also, before I was assuming na yung Altec Lansing VS4121 computer speakers priced at 5000 pesos is better than my 50, 000 audio setup that consists the Bowers and Wilkins 607 and Onkyo A-9110. Now, I am changing my statement. The 607 and A-9110 is miles better than my VS4121.
Now, I must say, na sulit naman po yung perang ginastos ko sa setup. Kasi before, bakit parang nag spend ako ng amount na ito na mas maayos pang tumunog yung worth 5000 pesos na speaker. Same experience with Grado SR60. Bakit po kaya bumili ako ng 5000 pesos worth na headphone, e maayos naman tumunog yung 1000 pesos na headphone. Pero, after the burn in process na sobrang matagal lalong lao na po pag hindi pinapatanunog or ginagamit. It took me one year sa burn in Grado SR60 headphone bago ko po siya na appreciate.
Now, I am appreciating 607 and A-9110. I am surprised also with Onkyo A-9110 amplifier na worth 13000 pesos na amplifier na kayang magpaganda ng tunog ng Bowers and Wilkins 607. Siguro, if I got Cambridge CX61 or CX81, Rega Brio or Musical Fidelity M2si, ano pa po kaya ang ibubuga ni 607? Super effortless na siguro!
Natutuwa lang po ako kasi money spent is starting to be paid already. Pinagisipan ko nga po na ibenta ang setup para bumili lang computer speakers ulit na worth 5000 pesos. Hahaha! Pero, today, February 28, 2021, ay hindi ko na po plan na ibenta. This is a nice setup!
Thank you. I hope nakatulong ang experience lalong lalo na sa ma beginners. Yung mga CDs ko ngayon ay isa isa ko namang pini play. I am choosing yung mga songs na dati sa pakinig ko ay grainy, screechy, masakit sa tenga. Then, I have the "aha" moment na opposite na ang tunog. Ang galing! Si Lani Misalucha ay effortless na sa pagkanta, si Barry Manilow, dati garalgal ang boses, di maabot ang high notes, ngayon yakang yaka na. My 50, 000 pesos is paid!
Thank you for reading my experience. Enjoy listening po sainyong lahat!
