Nice set-up bro!

Congratz!

Tanong lang bro, bakit dalawa ang set speakers mo? D b mahihirapang ka panyan?

Lahat ba yan pinatutunog mo ng sabay?

Thanks pare! I got them 2nd hand so they're much cheaper than sticker price. Wharfedale is the ultimate bang-for-buck speaker, while the B&W was just taken from my mom's place where it was gathering dust (freebee!). Both are logan stands.

RE: Sound Characteristics
Malayo talaga. Both have strengths and weaknesses. In my limited 'audiophile' langauge - for daily use I prefer 9.2 because of the bass and 'in-your-face' kind of sound which is perfect for R&B, House and Alternative which I listen to on a daily basis. On weekends where I want to relax and listen to Jazz, Classical and 'steadier' music I prefer the B&W because it's got a clearer sound stage, it envelopes the room much better and has a more laid-back sound. I never realized the comments of some sayng that the Diamonds were 'ngo-ngo' till I switched to B&W.

Salamat! May HT din po ako. I'll take photos tonight

The room is pretty bare pare, still saving up for additional furniture. Thanks again!

Hehe. Though it was cheaper than a brand new 320BEE (which only comes in that new silver-gray color na)

Thanks!

juneaki · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 11, 2006 at 11:26 AM »

Very nice music room! And the gears, they're awesome (at least for me)

The room is so simple that there's a lot of improvement (tweak) that can be done para lalong ma-improve and sound quality like putting curtains, carpet etc. Someday magkaka-SARS ka rin

Ang sama ko ano?
