Title: Brain drilling decision YAHAMA + WHARFEDALE + SUB????? please help for my setup
Post by: askme on Oct 28, 2013 at 05:55 PM
PLEASE i need inputs from expert >,<

here's my story, naghahanap lang ako ng magandang Earphone, tapos napadaan ako sa JBL store sa SM north, nagandahan ako sa Sb400, i even down 500 php ^^. pang reserve, 29k ang bigay sakin, nag review ako since mahilig ako bumuo ng mga PC RIG, from 29k naging 35k ang bugdet at HT na ang hanap ko from SB400 to AV+speaker and SUB. Sa dalawang lingggong review at research, halos sasabog na utak ko sa mga details. i even designate one day to go around sa mga store at mag-audition :)) halos basagin ko lahat ng set up dahil metal music ang genre ko, like lamb of god etc. so heavy sub talaga ang gusto ko.. for my HT or Audio system 60% music and 40% movie po ang usage

here's my ideal set :)

Wharfdale Diamond 121
Wharfdale Diamond 101c
Wharfdale Diamond 10sr
=15,300 for wharfedale setup
SVS PB12 or pb1000 /B&W asw610/
Yamaha RX 475

45k+ ang budget ko hahah medjo gipet kaya kung my alam po kayong murang pagkukunan ng mga ito maganda, i even auditioin yung wharfedale set up na yan with spectra sa greenbelt,

i even do data base sa mga store and price at ang dameng set - up offer >,<

please help naman po for if my suggestioin kayo na mas better dito all welcome po. highly appreciated.

bagay na bagay ang wharfedale sa yamaha, they will work well together.  mag set-up ka muna ng walang sub dahil maganda at accurate ang bass response ng 121.  just make sure na tama ang speaker placement mo.

good luck bro!

With your budget, then the Wharf and Yamaha might just be right for you. If you are more into music, you may consider a soundbar for HT then a separate setup for audio.  ;)

Post by: DTNS on Oct 28, 2013 at 09:23 PM
sa totoo lang, ayos na ang plano mong setup. add ka na lang ng Wharfedale Vardus Powered Sub for P7,500 cash.

pero kung gusto mo ibang brand ng avr at speakers, check mo din ang mga to:

AVR:   Pioneer VSX-522 - 11k
Front:   Polk TSx 110 - 9,990
Center:   Polk TSx 150c - 8,790
Surround:   Polk TSx 110 - 9,990   
Sub: Polk PSW110 or PSW111 (not sure about their prices, around 10k ata)

check mo din ang threads nila Sanjay (Polk and Deftech distro) at ng Sights & Sounds:

@itanongmu, talagang nagtatanong sa unang post palang hehehe...

you want powerful sub? visit marco's place >>> http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,122822.0.html

ewan ko lang sa mga bagong labas na wharfs pero ang alam ko sa mga dating models medyo ngo ngo o boomy (paumanhin sa mga wharf owners)...

para sa akin, wharf ang last choice ko.

tama yan audition audition but habang nag aaudition ka tingnan mo din ang acoustics ng showroom/store baka later on hanapin mo sa bahay ang tunog na narinig mo sa store. unless, acoustically treated ng ang room mo.

gusto mo ba bago at same look? kung ok lang sa 'yo ang preowned then abang abang ka lang sa marketplace...

why buy brand new if you can find here na mas murang preowned?

be praktikal. hth. ;)

yes, free admission ang Nov HiFi show. :)  naka-audition ako dati ng Polk TSi 100 bookshelf. okay naman ang tunog nya. pero pinalitan na cya ng TSx series.

suggestion ko, mag-audition ka ng iba't ibang speakers at kunin mo yung swak sa budget at pandinig mo. ;)

@DTNS Sir, mahal ba talaga and svs?? sakit sa ulo ka rereview hahah

they have the 1000 series "entry-level" models. the PB1000 (ported) costs 29k while the SB1000 (sealed) costs 26k. you can ask the distro, mike c, for a discount :)

if you still find the 1000 series expensive but you want really powerful bass at low cost, I suggest checking out marco's custom sub: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,122822.0.html (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,122822.0.html) ;)

stay away from polk audio and pioneer combi....they sound too bright.... unless you have a fully treated room


yamaha and wharfedale are good combination.... you need beefier amp to make that wharf sing.....
i always suggest used MID to HIGH end receiver rather than buying new receiver.....
make sure you have pre-out for possible power amp in the future.......extra juice

Ok yan table na yan IF all the measurements were done by single independent person  in the same room with the same testing equipment. Since measurements were done by each manufacturer and walang tolerance yung frequency range, mahirap mag compare. The only thing na usefull is sensitivity,  97 and 96 is very high, meaning the speakers would require half the power to sound loud compared to a speaker with 93 db sensitivity, 1/4 power compared to a 90 DB, so you dont need to much power
Title: Re: Budget fLoorstand table of specs and details
Post by: synchro_01 on Nov 04, 2013 at 05:53 AM
The frequency range of the Monitor on paper doesn't make it automatically the best value among the models in the list. Just listen to all of them and choose what you like. A neutral sounding one is a good choice since it would be a good all around speaker.

For newbies though I'd suggest the same thing that qguy stated earlier. Choose one that is easy to power so that the next step of the process which is finding the suitable amp is going to be affordable.

Correct me if im wrong.. considering the sensitivity the best pick would be 89-91 than 96-97?. if i stand correct. i may now delete klipsch for this table, for me to consider 4 speaker from 5.

Exactly...but there is no longer a klipsch distributor in the philippines, either you wait for a seller in the marketplace or in sulit/ayosdito to unload his klipsch or buy from amazon.com and shipped them to the philippines..

Post by: qguy on Nov 05, 2013 at 07:51 AM
Medjo bihira ang 90+ sensitivity sa speakers, as long as you do not go below 87dB and impedance of 8 ohms, you should be okay with entry level amps, besides most of the bass would be handled by the subwoofer.

take time to audition the speakers first.

Klipsch are easy to drive cause of the high sensitivity. It also has horn tweeter, which makes the sound brighter. It's either you'll love Klipsch or hate it. In my cause I love Klipsch! Yun nga lang wala ng distributor dito ng Klipsch.

You're probably talking about the old horns, recent versions don't have the harshness and grittiness of the old ones, kaya siguro na-"love" mo na.



As to the tabulated values, aside from sensitivity, those numbers mean nothing and could not in any real world usage be used for comparison.

Have read this statement several times dito sa PDVD at mukhang kumakalat na ito as a fact. High sensitivity does not equate with easy to drive. Some speakers have very high sensitivity but have been known to destroy amps for having less than one ohm impedance at some frequencies. Easy to drive speakers (lalo na from a tube amp's POV) are those that have impedances that do not dip much from the nominal value.

I have to agree with you. Pero meron pa bang ganyan speakers that do not dip much sa impedance at reference levels? Mga lumang speakers?
Title: Re: Budget fLoorstand table of specs and details
Post by: markcrenz on Nov 07, 2013 at 01:01 PM
Actually it was some old speakers using internal passive circuits to extend bass response that became notorious for being amp killers, afaik those designs have been scrapped already. Recent technologies make it easier for designers to build speakers that will present a rather benign load to any amp. Impedance graph of a typical speaker:

(http://ap.com/images/audio.tst/03-2010/imp_util_3.png)

Most speakers will have a high narrow impedance peak at resonance, dip to half at around 100-300hz and a wide peak 2 or 3x around the crossover point. Difficult to drive speakers will deviate more from the nominal value.

Compare it with this: Manufacturer rated it 4 ohms but it's below 4 ohms at all other frequencies outside 80 and 1200 hz, with very nasty dips at 32 and 7k hz!!!

problem lang is where to find this "effective impedance vs frequency response" chart of those speakers that we are interested to buy. i don't think manufacturers publish this.

Exactly. But you also need to know kung kayang i-drive ng amp mo. Specs are part of the selection process. Specially when you sometimes listen at reference levels.

You don't buy speakers to listen to graphs. You buy speakers because you like to hear and enjoy your music.
yes, no denying that. but the graph will be able to tell you if the speaker has stable impedance across its frequency range as shown by markcrenz. kaya nga lang this info is not published for public eyes. baka yung mga high-end models lang kung sakali man.

The sensitivity of the speaker will only tell you how loud it will sound with 1 watt of power at 1 meter distance. The "load" of the speaker, or how hard it is to drive will be dictated by its impedance dips, or lack of it for that matter.

A flat impedence speaker will actually be easier to drive than one that drops to ridiculous levels, even if that speaker is rated with a higher sensitivity.

This is were Amp + speaker matching comes into play.

For starters, some speakers tend to dip to 2 ohms at a certain frequency (B&w towers i think ), if the amp is not suited for such extremes - chances are you will bust your amp.

The graphs will help you match the speakers and the amps, as for the preferred SQ - that's an all different matter. :)

Cheers :)

Alitte inputs hope you still try to decide on what to get..:)

I read your post before i got my Dia 155, my first option was 121 + 101c or 122 + 102c.
Went to audition at megamall and after auditioned them, i was curious with 155 so i asked the guy to test that too... wow.. he played and skiped to battle scene for "private ryan" and then i asked him can you remove the subwoofer just use the 155 alone and he said he only connected 155... :o the bass is unbelievable..!!

I then decided to get the 155 considering too i dont have the table or stands for either 121 or 122 and i still need to invest in subwoofer if i chose the 121/122.

my room is 5 x 4 sqm.

baka bumigay mga high frequency drivers ng speakers mo sir kung gagamitin mo pang videoke sayang
better mag set up ka nalang ng separate para pang videoke or mag kabit ka ng compression limiter...just my 2 cents... ^-^
