Hi guys, I'm just a newbie and going to setup my ht for the first time and going to buy the fronts first due to a limited budget. I would like to ask for your help what speakers are better wharfedale 10.7 or dali zensor 7? What avr should match them that has a bluetooth bec. I would like to play the music through my smartphone. The speakers will be used 60% for music and 40% for movies. I really love to listen to music with clarity and detail. My budget is 18k to 30k for the speakers and 20-25k for the avr. Would you also please let me know where I can find any dealers for dali and wharfs? And if it is not too much to ask, would you also please let me know any Manila dealer that you know who can provide the best price? Thank you very much in advance for your help! Looking forward to hear from you! God bless!
Cant comment much on the Dali's because I've never heard a pair before but for the 10.7's and your mentioned 60-40 use, then I would say its good for your purpose, assuming of course that your audio preference is 2.0 and not 2.1.
There is a thread here that discusses receiver-speaker matching, look for that na lang. Ang topic starter is Barrister. But to get you started, a pioneer-wharfedale combo is an excellent match. I used to own a combo before I switched and I will still highly recommend it to anyone. Just make sure that you audition the 10.7's and find it to your liking.
Most of the new receivers will allow you to use your smartphone to play music so I dont think that will be a problem when choosing a receiver.
As for you dealer question, wharfs are carried by a lot of stores so just find which one is near you and pay them a visit. If from the south(alabang, paranaque, las piƱas area) there is hifi lounge in festival mall. If you are in makati there is Watts Hifi in makati cinema square. if you are further north there is listening room and listening in style found in megamall and then there is Sights and Sounds in Shangrila mall. There are a lot more dealers as you go further north to the QC area and a lot of them can be seen posting their stuff at the marketplace so I would suggest you visit the MP first before going anywhere else. Prices are competitive so you will probably get the same quote from the dealers. (give or take a few hundred to maybe as much as a thousand)
