If you're limited to a 25k budget, that's about as good as it gets for a brand new 5.1 set. The Diamond 9 HCP should be better than the DX-1 HCP in the majority of cases (unless you're really short of space).
If you can extend your budget or are willing to buy in stages, then that'd open up other options.

^^agree and even more emphasis on the starting to build in stages...2.0 to 2.1...to 3.1...to 5.1...to 7.1 and it goes on and on and on and then you realize you are infected by SARS. Lol. just kidding, its best to build in stages because you get what you want agad. :)
-
i can extend my budget pero I restrain myself. self control kung baga.. magastos din kasi ang sports ko ;D
how would I know if DX1 HCP sya or Cinema 9 HCP?
nakalagay lang kasi sa pricelist ni sir Vic,
HCP - 15,800
Cinema 9 - 13,900
yung mas mura ba si Cinema 9 HCP. yun na kukunin ko. mura na better pa. :) pero mag auaudition muna ako. sana si ako ma Sars

Decided to go for 3.0 for a while then buy a subwoofer in Christmas bonus.
- AV Receiver (Pioneer 521k or 821k)
- Polkaudio (CS10) - Center
- Polkaudio (TSi100) - Left and Right
total damage
- 10,000 (brandnew) 521k / 12,500 (refurbished) 821k
- 7500 (center)
- 8500 (Left and Right)
any inputs here are highly appreciated. :D

Ayos na ayos yan sir. Those are already very good choices.
But for an additional alternative, think about floorstanding speakers. I suggest receiver + floorstander left & right:
- AV Receiver (Pioneer 521k or 821k)
- Polkaudio (TSi300) - Left and Right
Due to budget constraints, wala munang center.
Personally, mas maganda ang impact ng floorstander kahit walang center, vs. bookshelf + center. Pero depende pa rin sa user yan. May mahilig sa bookshelf, kasi mas accurate daw ang bass, especially for music; may mahilig naman sa floorstander, kasi talagang mas malaki ang sound pag mas malaki ang speaker.
Next upgrade is subwoofer. After that, center; then surrounds.

Go for a 2.1
Get a bigger BS. And get a vintage stereo amp. :D
Use your pioneer as a pre-amp, utilizing only the surrounds and center amps when you already have those.
I'm sure mabibitin ka sa power ng pioneer, specially sa music.
Ako ngayon for music I dont use the sub anymore. Solve na solve na ko sa bass using just my BS. ;)

pa Slight OT po:
To my knowledge the 521 and the 821 does not have preouts, how does one connect an AV receiver to a power amp without the benefit of preouts? I've been trying to look for a thread about this but I have not succeeded. I think the TS could use this knowledge too since his receiver choices do not have pre outs...
-
I really dont know what pre-amps means ;D super noob eh.
Instead of Pioneer 521k, I bought Onkyo 515 instead ;D (wala akong SARS ah, di pa ako bumili dati >:D)
THen, I will get PolkAudio TSi100 and PSW110 sa weekend >:D
tulong pala.. PSW110 or PSW111, mas mahal at mas maliit yung PSW111. ano kaya maganda?
salamat sa Hot Skill Bonus napaaga ang speaker ko wahahaha ^-^

Sori, naisip ko nga yan after ko magpost hehe!!!
Dati may nakita ako sa FS section na with pre-outs, pre-owned at around 20K. Not sure kung available pa.

what do you mean baka sumakit ang ulo ko? O0

The tsi is known to be bright and so is the pio, so it might sound harsh na.
-
(makisabay lang sa thread kasi same ang situation namin ng TS)
since gusto ko muna iminimize ang gastos at pag uupgrade since manggaling ako sa 5.1 pc speakers, then it is good to go with the pio 521 and diamond 9, right?

diamond 10 better mids...and then afterwards dont visit the site....LOL
-
trying really hard to not read from this site hahaha. pero medyo malayo na price ng diamond 10 :(
-
Decent na ang prices ng wharf diamond 10, i dont think you can find speakers that sound that way na may quality at the same price point.
-
I agree with Diamond 10. :)
ang ganda na.. mas magustuhan ko pa nga sya sa Polk Audio TSi100 using Pio 521K. pero di ko gusto tunog nya sa Onkyo 515 the best pa din ang Polky sa Onkyo..
pero mas maganda audition mo boss. dalhin mo yung receiver mo po sa shop para BIG Smile pag uwi ng bahay..
-
for several reasons, i am to choose only between klipsch hd 500 or wharfedale diamond 9 hcp. which should i pick? too bad yun lang klipsch ang na-try ko kasi walang pang demo na stock yun diamond 9.

whats your receiver?
i had polk monitor 60(same as tsi 400)
set 5.1 including psw125
if paired with pio its on the bright side...
somehow natame ng mcacc pero bright side pa din
if you want warm go wharf - laid back
if you want livelyness with a bit of brightness go with klipsch
bright din yan
-
will be using with pioneer 521. sensya noob, di ko alam kung ano yun warm at bright. hehe. pero nun dinemo ko yun klipsch parang mas matinis o aggressive ang sounds. nun tinry ko naman ang wharf (though 10.1 yun) mas deep ang tunog nya.

bright - makalansing > others wants it dahil lively daw others tends to get tire listening to it..
ill go wharf 10.1 if you use pio - ok and synergy nyan
-

thinking of the ff:
diamond 10.5 fronts
diamond 10cs center
diamond 10 dfs surrounds
sub? di ko pa alam

Hello Gurus!
Newbie po.
My AVR has 2 sets of speaker output. A (5ch) & B (2ch). I am using a pair bigger floorstander speakers connected to B for music. Connected to A right now are my old satellite speakers from an HTIB. Maliliit lang po sila. My HTIB btw, is the type na nakabundle pag bili ng TV.
Ang gusto ko po sana ay magamit din ang tower speakers ko for the fronts of the 5.1 output. Pede ko po ba ikabit parin yung LR ng 5.1 sa floor stander? Magiging 2 sets of wire na po ang kakabit sa bigger speaker.
I am using Onkyo SR313 and MS Carnival 6 for this setup. Yung AVR po ay my speaker switching para maging A->AB->B ang speakers. Nag aalala po ako baka may masira pag AB speakers na po ang active.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

The 10cm is huge, its a full 3way center channel with 2 6.5" woofers.

yup it really was...
sakop ung unang layer ng rack ko hehehe

+1 ako kay broder Derick...nankula ako nung nakita ko eh... O0

In my opinion get the best center you can afford that matches all your speakers. It;s very important when watching a movie..

crossover po is where the AVR will send a signal to your sub. as for the sub set up, pwede nyo po iset to small yung fronts nyo para hindi SW plus ang setting, sometimes having an SW PLUS set up can make the sound more boomy. but if you like your SW PLUS set up now then dont make the changes, type mo na eh.

set your crossover at 80hz
your sub will take care anything below 80hz
swplus - double bass is on..
your fronts setting is full range

nakalarge settings ang fronts mo kaya ayaw tumunog ng sub,try mo set to small yung front tutunog yan or set to plus yung sub,pero base on my experience with pio and bookshelf speaker mas ok small settings sa fronts and center tapos cutoff at 100HZ wala kasi 80hz cutoff avr ko. Or para di kana mahirapan i run mo mcacc ng avr mo para sya na bahala mag calibrate,kabit mo lang muna yung mic sa front panel tapos ipwesto mo yung mic kung saan ka madalas nakapwesto pag nanonood or nakikinig
