Title: Mga matitinong dai-ichi speakers of today & John...
Post by: hattori_hanzo on Apr 23, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Guys here are some dai-ichi speakers that I personaly auditioned when I was hunting for a speakers system. hope this help you guys... 

EFD speakers - best of all dai-ichi speakers but a bit pricey. clarity and power are achive by dai-ichi with these speakers.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/EFDspeakers.gif)

Euros 8 & 6 - fairly priced good performance speaker.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/euros6_a.gif)

Euros 5 - not yet available, so medyo exempted to. 

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/euros5a.gif)

PL - medyo bitin nga lang ang subwoofer nito. pero ganda ng tunog nung tower when paired with amx tube na auditioned ko to sa phasetron, park square 1, makati.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/pl20100_a.gif)

DTX 4.xx series subwoofers - good for any kind of room, tight followed by a soft bass.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/DSC00058.jpg)

DTX 6.xx series subwoofers - good for any kind of room, but tend to become muffled when drived at high SPL.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/dtx610_a.gif)

BP series subwoofer - powerful and big, but then again due to its design (back ported bandpass), tend to become boomy when cornered.

~ JOHN OF THE DAI-ICHI MEGAMALL ~  

Tama pala si qguy about "John" of Dai-ichi megamall. if you dont have any idea on speakers please dont ask this guy, I had a wrong impression on him, yung product knowledge niya about speakers dont just extend there kahit sa amp ay "NO-NO" rin pala siya.

qguy had a difficult time with him when asking about magnetic shielding of speakers. he replied qguy... "rubber lang ang ginagamit nila for magnetic shielding" and again asked by qguy about using a 8" woofer for center again he replied... "sino gumagamit ng 8" sa center ngo ngo yun" and so goes the story of "John" of Dai-ichi megamall. for some other reasons (sales) I defended him and telling guys to give him a break and be friend with him, but guess what? Now! im pulling out my support on him (but not Dai-ichi products) only Mr. John...

My reason? this is why...

been there recently and asked John...

"John diba nasa 6 ohms ang rating ng Euros 8?" he then replied "yes boss" I told him "ano bang ginagamit mong impedance switch ng yamaha AVR nyo" he then replied "8 ohms min sir" I told him "bakit 8 ohms min ang gamitin mo, diba dapat 6 ohms min, hindi ba burden sa Yamaha avr yung 8ohms min setting then feeding it with 6 ohms towers paano kung nasa operation na yung AVR diba variable na yun operation hindi ba masisira yung yamaha?" he then replied "sir kasi mabubugbog yung speakers namin lalo pag araw araw ginagamit kasi tumataas yung impedance nang speakers pag ginagamit, umaabot ng 16 to 32ohms yun pag tumutunog na" then I was surprised and replied "ha? ganun ba tumataas ba hanggang 16 to 32ohms yung 6 ohms kaya sineset nyo yung avr ng 8ohms min?" he then replied with proud accent "yes sir!"...

and so goes on with the story of John...

pag labas ko ng showroom, natawa tuloy ako at i-iling-iling...  :D  ::)

It's possible that the speakers go as high as 16-32. And it is recommended (at least by the audioholics guys) to set the avr's impedance to 8 ohms for better dynamics, fidelity, etc.

so you mean speakers impedances are variable and can go as high as 32ohms on operation? not the other way around? so dapat palang tawagin genius tong so John...

so those impedance switches at the back of Yamaha's AVR's has no reason at all. question lang, bakit kaya nila nilagay yun? wala lang pang dagdag presyo? or... maybe its there to protect the speaker's or the amp its self, meron kasing indicated instruction sa likod ng yamaha AVR and I was told that those impedance switch are for the protection of the AVR's amp section, protection from a posible dangerous loads such as 6 ohms or lower. kung baga safety switch, diba if we load a 4 ohms speaker sa amp umiinit ito ng husto compare sa 8 ohms load? baka dahil ciguro sa ganito situation kaya sila nag lagay ng ganitong switch, ano ho sa palagay nyo sir guru bumblebee? 

saka yung amps impedance na 8ohms pala sa has better dynamics, fidelity, etc. compare sa 4ohms ganun ba?...kasi I used to load a professional QSX MX series power amps as low as 2 ohms loads (6 voice of theater JBL's) and compare it with a 8 ohms loads using  only 2 theater JBL's. and for me theres no difference at all.... paki explain nga po further sir bumblebee kung bakit? at kung totoo yung sinasabi ng mga taga audioholics guys...

galing pala ng audioholics ano? ayon sa kanila parang lumalabas nilagay lang ng yamaha yung switch for UL requirement...

Editorial Note about the Impedance Selector Switch
 
"I recommend the "Minimum 8-ohms" setting even for 4-ohm speakers of moderate efficiency (>89dB SPL). Yamaha includes a" 6-ohm" setting to satisfy UL heat dissipation requirements when driving 4-ohm loads, as well as easing consumer concerns about driving low impedance loads. These switches step down voltage feed to the power sections which can limit dynamics and overall fidelity. My advice is to keep the switch set to "Minimum 8-ohms" regardless of the impedance of your speakers and ensure proper ventilation of the Receiver.  To illustrate this point further, I have tabulated my measured differences between the 8-ohm and 6-ohm setting for driving 8-ohm and 4-ohm loads.

8 Ohm Setting
134wpc into an 8-ohm load @ 0.1% THD
210wpc into a 4-ohm load @ 0.1% THD

6 Ohm Setting
95wpc into an 8-ohm load @ 0.1% THD
180wpc into a 4-ohm load @ 0.1% THD
"


galing ng audiholics ano? dapat ciguro magusap ang audioholics at ang yamaha to avoid confusion sa mga end user ng product nila, iba kasi pagkakaintindi ko rito (cant compare with professional amp though) all the while kala ko yung switch na yun is to prevent the damage. yun pala for UL purposes lang "heat dissipation", after which kung susundin mo itong instruction nila (see photo below) will limit the dyamics and overall fidelity.

thanks sir guru bumblebee... naliwanagan na po ako "ALIEN!" "ALIEN!"...

hindi ako masyado na convince ng audioholics so I made my own testing using an analog DON - NSF temp reader and measured the heat dissipation of the Yamaha amp and heres my actual reading...

impedance switch set to:
8 ohms - heat measurement 93 deg F.
4 ohms - heat measurement 90 deg F.

setting on 9'oclock volume pot and tone bypass, using 6 ohms speakers (2 towers, 1 center, 2 surrounds) 4 hours of HT and music (2 hours on each impedance switch setting with one hour interval).

based on my expirience on audio gears the cooler the amp the better it will produce audio freq. and when on operation, speaker impedance loads will be variable lower.

Way back in Yamaha thread, I personnaly advised to have the impedance switch to 8ohm regardless of speaker impedance.

As a general rule, as  far as Yamaha is concerned, the caution should be standard in their boxes to protect the receiver and to protect them from any unfounded complaint of amp abuse of users who do not have technical grasp of how amp-speaker behave. kung rakrakan lang naman ang gamit ng AVR, better to switch it to recommended impedance load. For a typical audiophile  ???  ;D listening, leave imp switch untouched.

Speakers only have average impedance - not ruler flat. I really dont know if John really knew what he is talking about. But his declaration is somehow has technical backing. I remember a post somewhere in this forum when he laughs at his friend who uses an electrical wire for a speaker cable, only to admit later that he might be laughing off to his own ignorance. I have been there too,  having so many unfounded 'myths' in audio. Copper when heated changes its characteristic impedance. Have not dealt into the details of this. Music into the speaker make this heating - and contributes the most in a systems total distortion - so forget about distortion in the amplifier section (1% is not so much to a lot into speakers - much so with .1 or .05% diff  ;D  ;D)

With inefficient speakers, the like of Dai ichi at 86dB, this dilemna is even more compounded. That's why I have a bias toward high sensitivity- but as I said on other occasions, it is always a compromise on the sound - which compromise is best for you, go for it, and dont have the inkling that your compromise is acceptable to other audiophile being.

If I am John, I would have switched the amp to 4 ohms, basta at the end of the day, nabili yung amp and/or speaker ng customer.  ;D  ;D  ;D . They are there to make their products sell. If you are an audiophile, you should be there after you have done your assignment of how to validate their claims.

There should be no difference at all at this setting, if you use the same speaker. The issue of imp switch will only become evident if you hit the full rating capability of the amp, more so if you overdrive them. Using a 6ohm speaker and overdrive your amp, at impedance setting of 8 ohms will fry your amp  :o. At impedance setting of 4 ohm, will fry your speaker  ;D  ;D . Yamaha wanted to fry your speaker first, and not their amp. So which one do you love best?  ;D  ;D  ;D

Sir, so its best to use the 4 ohms impedance switch? rather than the 8ohms, when using a 6 ohms speaker load. much secured if the amp is cooler.

"kung rakrakan lang naman ang gamit ng AVR, better to switch it to recommended impedance load. For a typical audiophile  ???  ;D listening, leave imp switch untouched.

so sir according to you kung pang "audiophile listening" is much better to leave the switch untouch (case of yamaha 8ohms setting) kahit ano pang load ng speakers ang gamitin mo,.... then pag bugbugan naman its better to follow the manufacturers recommended impedance load?  ??? ....

hindi ba burden on both end yun (speakers and AVR) ? meron bang noticable difference on over-all audible performance pag nag toggle ka sa impedance switch for what is best for both gears (speakers and AVR)? katulad ng sinasabi ng audioholics na nababawasan daw ang dynamics and overall fidelity.

Sir keema,

well according to ahobbit and audioholics kung ittranslate mo sa tagalog, pag audiophile listening daw eh gamitin mo ang 8 ohms switch para daw ma retain ang dyamics at overall fidelity kahit mainit ito sa amp dapat lang daw may tamang ventilation, at pag ka naman gaguhan ng pag gamit ng gears eh sundin mo daw ung instruction ng yamaha. kung 6 ohms or less ang gamit mong speakers gamitin mo ang 4 ohms switch dahil ito ang recommended ng yamaha mas safer daw kaya lang mawawalan ng dyamic at fidelity. tama ba ako?  :D

Sir JojoD818,

kung kay John lang naman, magtatanong nalang ako sa taga Yamaha mismo at sa hotline ng Dai-ichi, hindi pa rin ako kumbinsi kay John. maraming sablay yun. hehehe! isipin mo goma ang ginagamit sa magnetic shielding. at speakers na 6 ohms pag tumutunog umaabot ng 32ohms? hek!

Sir oweidaw,
 
mukha nga mas marurunong pa tong mga nag sasabi about sa impedance switch mukhang mas may alam mismo kaysa sa yamaha, isipin mo naka indicate na ang instruction ng manufacturer for safer use, pero para sa kanila best pa rin yung nirerecommend nila. tigas ng ulo hehehe!

Hey bro hanns,

Here are some quotes for John:

"The worst combination would be a narrow mind and a wide mouth..."

"Better to keep silent then be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt..."

I believe that there are still people in this world that believe that they could learn everything they need to. This is why I think this is a very common occurence with people we expect to help us with some issues. I believe that there will always be room for more knowledge, new knowledge and ideas that may even prove what the whole world believes is right to be wrong. Remember everybody used to think the world was the center of the universe? And how everybody used to think the earth was flat? I think there is no limit to what man can learn and I think this should be a trait that could help everyone make better of themselves, open-mindedness and the infinite thirst for knowledge. I also think that this forum is not about winning and losing. It's not about proving who's right or wrong. I believe it's about the expansion of people's horizons and perceptions. These are, in all humility, just my opinions.  ;)

for most yamaha receivers leaving the switch at 8 ohms should sound better as long as you dont push it too its limit. Its an option, but if you want to protect your gears, choose the safest setting, the sound difference might not be worth your peace of mind. Or better yet just get 8 ohm speakers ;D

This speaker is tested on 50hz freq setting as you can see through the graph below...

The Impedance of the Genesis 6.1c stays mostly between 2 Ohms and 5 Ohms throughout the audible range above 50 Hz. Electrical Phase stays ± 300, which is excellent.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/genesis-center-speaker-impedance-ph.gif)

Sensitivity: 89 dB/W/M
Impedance: 4 Ohms

Below is shown the quasi-anechoic response of the Genesis 6.1c, with the microphone 1 meter from the center of the speaker, on axis. The response is generally flat from 50 Hz to 20 kHz.

The first graph is ok. I asked if the impedance curve changes if you change w/m. Then you showed 2 graphs w/o impedance.

Anyway, our graphs show that impedance varies w/ freq. So agree ka na Daiichis could go as high as 16? or even 32?

nope not yet the graph i showed you are just a followup on the tested 50hz setting using a 1w/1m.

maybe upto 25ohms pde pa ako maniwala for a typical mas market speakers like dai-ichi but not 32ohms...

like this limestone speakers...

The impedance varies from 5.5 Ohms to 25 Ohms, and electrical phase never strays beyond 45deg. The impedance valley at 80 Hz represents the tuning frequency. These would be an easy speaker for mass market receivers to drive.

An impedance curve is purely an electrical measure.   A senstivity rating is a mix of electrical and accoustic measure.  I don't think speaker sensitivity readings have anything to do with impedance curves.

Anyway,  going back to the topic, I have the impression matitino ang Dai-ichi speakers.  The sales people seem to be another thing.  ;D

Sir, so its best to use the 4 ohms impedance switch? rather than the 8ohms, when using a 6 ohms speaker load. much secured if the amp is cooler.

I don't know whether there is noticeable sound difference if you toggle the impedance switch. For typical listening, I think none. Pag medyo binirit mo na, and you are asking the power of nature to play unusually, meron. For good designed AVR, they are usually protected, so using low-imp load kahit na ka 8-ohm ka, nag ti-trip yung protection niya kapag nag-overdrive ka (that is, if you trust the protective circuit to save you any damage of gears). This condition draws more power than the amp can supply, and can bust your transistors.

On the other hand, speakers have no protection at all, and if you feed it with an amp switched to 4-ohm (which typically brings down the bias voltage), at nirakrak mo nang husto, you are in for a clipping (DC state) - bust una ang tweeter mo, maging lonely ang woofer mo, baka magpakamatay na rin yan.

For your calculated typical listening, leave the switch untouched.

Yung ngongo, medyo tama siya - pag woofer nga lang yung center mo, ngongo talaga yon. Pag mid-woofer, baka medyo ngongo na lang.  ;D  ;D . Pag sinamahan mo ng tweeter, beauty na!!!  ;D  ;D Minsan kasi pag mali tanong, mali din ang sagot eh.

Impedance increase .. medyo .. tama kung oo ... medyo mali kung halos nadoble o triple na ang impedance ... wala ako oras aksayahin i quantify ang claims.

Sir oweidaw,
 
mukha nga mas marurunong pa tong mga nag sasabi about sa impedance switch mukhang mas may alam mismo kaysa sa yamaha, isipin mo naka indicate na ang instruction ng manufacturer for safer use, pero para sa kanila best pa rin yung nirerecommend nila. tigas ng ulo hehehe!

Commercial gears typically include basic caution and protection to guide those who are not technically adept to amp/speakers behavior. Technical audiophile can tweak according to their level of knowledge. Some do not employ snubber circuit or zobel network in the output, audiophile can remove it if they are sure they have no use for it in their environment. Yamaha can put the imp caution at the back to protect your amp - without telling you, your speaker will give its ghost first should you abuse your amp. Technical audiophile can rest in peace even without making an imp switch.

Yamaha knows how to protect their gears form abusive users. It is just a matter of standards in their boxes. But switching it is not mandatory, if you know what you are doing (read.. aware of the do's and don'ts).

Sir AHobbit, just wanna know kung what model you're referring to. Please enlighten me. The Daiichi speaker that I have or have seen which has the least sensitivity is the Euros 8 which is rated at 88 dB. Thank you sir. Have a nice day.  :)

US AUdio yata ang isa, also refer to wharfs and competitors.

Post by: aHobbit on Apr 25, 2006 at 06:17 PM
for most yamaha receivers leaving the switch at 8 ohms should sound better as long as you dont push it too its limit. Its an option, but if you want to protect your gears, choose the safest setting, the sound difference might not be worth your peace of mind. Or better yet just get 8 ohm speakers ;D

 ;)

could be much better into 4ohm speaker - due to increase power bandwidth... have not tried - just playing amp theories with higher bias voltage.

Mababago ba curve kung iba w/m?

copper characteristics is given at controlled temp. What happen if current passed through a coil? get heated beyond the property measurement of the copper, impedance varies as temperature. Same with transistors. heat changes characteristics of transistors, that's why, they need to be maintained at certain ranges in order to minimize distortions. better yet, if they are maintained cold. Tube is different - keep them so hot, to function with minimal distortion.

Post by: aHobbit on Apr 25, 2006 at 06:26 PM
nope not yet the graph i showed you are just a followup on the tested 50hz setting using a 1w/1m.

maybe upto 25ohms pde pa ako maniwala for a typical mas market speakers like dai-ichi but not 32ohms...

like this limestone speakers...

The impedance varies from 5.5 Ohms to 25 Ohms, and electrical phase never strays beyond 45deg. The impedance valley at 80 Hz represents the tuning frequency. These would be an easy speaker for mass market receivers to drive.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/me-limestone-speaker-impedance-phas.gif)



hanns,

it is a frequency sweep at 1 watt. How many seconds did they employ the sweep? how about, if it is 1watt rms in 1 hour (as in dai ichi - more than 8 hours probably)? How about if at 86db, you are typically listening to a 4watt or 8 watt power (rms and continuous hours)? Did somebody measured the condition? .. am just asking. If at short sweep, it can reach 25 ohms how much can it reach when heated? don't ask me  ;D  ;D

Mga bro OT lang,  Regarding john of dai ichi mega.  Medyo k_ _ _l  nga mag sasagot yang john na yan.  I purchased a t-amp at dai-ichi megamall,   after a day my t-amp went out of order.  And i returned my t-amp to that F_ _ _ing john.  At sabi nya papalitan daw nya as a replacement unit habang ginagawa ang t-amp ko. after two long weeks of follow up regarding  my t-amp, ang sabi nya pinadala na daw sa states ang unit for repair.  Umabot na ng 1month wala pa din.  What i did is i emailed the sonic frontiers and report what happened on my t-amp, and even the serial number of  the unit i gave it to the company. and the company rplied that they did not received the unit.  Nang mabasa ko yung email tumawag agad ako kay john at ni report ko sa kanya yung email ng company.  Kinabukasan tumawag si john sa office para i refund yung bayad ko!     Kung hinde ba naman manloloko yan tao na yan!!!!! kaya mga bro baka kayo rin ang ma goyo ng tao na yan!!!!!

              Sana hinde na pinatagal ng ganon, i rerefund lang pala!!!! IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Sir, dami sinabi no John eh. ...rubber ... ngongo ... impedance

Yung rubber ... medyo iniisip ko pa ... bakit ??? 

I guess nakita siya ng bukas na center channel na speaker na may rubber na covering that is used to cover the metal or cancellation magnet installed at the back of the driver  "ah rubber lang pala eh"

Yung ngongo, medyo tama siya - pag woofer nga lang yung center mo, ngongo talaga yon. Pag mid-woofer, baka medyo ngongo na lang.  ;D  ;D . Pag sinamahan mo ng tweeter, beauty na!!!  ;D  ;D Minsan kasi pag mali tanong, mali din ang sagot eh.

true pag woofer lang ngongo kaso I told him "ay sorry lalagyan ko rin tweeter" sagot ng arrogante na John "ngo ngo pa rin yun"... in effect lahat ng two way na speaker na may 8 inch woofer with tweeter ay ngongo   


Impedance increase .. medyo .. tama kung oo ... medyo mali kung halos nadoble o triple na ang impedance ... wala ako oras aksayahin i quantify ang claims.

Just like Sir AV said, I think almost all, if not all, Daiichi speakers are matitino. They're not the greatest but for the price that you can get these pups for, they're definitely worth more than you paid for.

I've heard that Sir Anthony of A Audio does tweaks. Am not sure but I've heard of some 9.5s that have tweaked crossovers that have improved bass response, which we all know is the very weakness it has.  ;D

My vote goes to the Euros 8.  ;D But I still love the Daiichi Classique tower series. I already have the CT-503, my good friend has the CT-613, I recently acquired the CT-813 and all these babies are just great performers. Well, I don't think I could call the 813 a baby since it's a bit large. I've tested my 813 on different amps and it even makes a Sakura sound good. It was great with a Pioneer amp though. I plan to get another pair soon.  ;D

The way qquy sounded in his post, it wasn't so much his ignorance that was unnerving.  It was his arrogance at his misinformation.   ;D

Anyway,  does Dai-ichi still paste their impedance curve at the back of their speakers?  I know I had them in mine back in 1982.  I prefer having this curve either on their manual or at the back of the speakers.  It's a more complete specification of impedance than merely stating NOMINAL impedance.

UL certification is really about complying  with home safety standards as promulgated by Underwriters Laboratories.  There are heat dissipation limits that must be observed and manufacturers, like Yamaha for some of their models,  have to provide current limiting switches in their amps so as to pass the certification at 4 ohm loads.  These are basically amplifiers with designs that will heat up so much when using 4 ohm loads during the time period specified by the UL tests.  UL certification has nothing to do with audio quality or audiophilic personal standards which many members here prefer to observe, even despite what manufacturer's manual recommends.  Audioholics included.

sir based on my personal expirience, para sa akin lang naman yung PL towers is a good sounding speakers, if paired with AMX tubes. mura pa nasa 6k lang may discount pa, pero sa phasetron price ito baka mas mura pa sa ibang store, dun ko kasi na audition, heres what its look like;

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/pl20100_a.gif)

pero among the dai-ichi line up, I think the DTX EFD preagnant tower speakers is the best of the series. kaya lang medyo pricey 13k sa showroom...

Why dont we all of us go to dai-ichi megamall this May 1, and have a rally.  Para malaman ng management ng dai-ichi ang problem sa staff nila.  Sayang lang ang effort ng company to have a good product.  Or its the other way around that dai-ichi dont have a training for their staff in order to explain their product.  Dapat they have a product knowledge seminar!

Guys here are some dai-ichi speakers that I personaly auditioned when I was hunting for a speakers system. hope this help you guys... 

EFD speakers - best of all dai-ichi speakers but a bit pricey. clarity and power are achive by dai-ichi with these speakers.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/EFDspeakers.gif)

Euros 8 & 6 - fairly priced good performance speaker.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/euros6_a.gif)


Pregnant series.  For HT use, unbeatable bang for the buck!
Euros 5 - not yet available, so medyo exempted to. 

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/euros5a.gif)

PL - medyo bitin nga lang ang subwoofer nito. pero ganda ng tunog nung tower when paired with amx tube na auditioned ko to sa phasetron, park square 1, makati.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/pl20100_a.gif)

DTX 4.xx series subwoofers - good for any kind of room, tight followed by a soft bass.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/DSC00058.jpg)

DTX 6.xx series subwoofers - good for any kind of room, but tend to become muffled when drived at high SPL.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/dtx610_a.gif)

BP series subwoofer - powerful and big, but then again due to its design (back ported bandpass), tend to become boomy when cornered.

~ JOHN OF THE DAI-ICHI MEGAMALL ~  

Tama pala si qguy about "John" of Dai-ichi megamall. if you dont have any idea on speakers please dont ask this guy, I had a wrong impression on him, yung product knowledge niya about speakers dont just extend there kahit sa amp ay "NO-NO" rin pala siya.

qguy had a difficult time with him when asking about magnetic shielding of speakers. he replied qguy... "rubber lang ang ginagamit nila for magnetic shielding" and again asked by qguy about using a 8" woofer for center again he replied... "sino gumagamit ng 8" sa center ngo ngo yun" and so goes the story of "John" of Dai-ichi megamall. for some other reasons (sales) I defended him and telling guys to give him a break and be friend with him, but guess what? Now! im pulling out my support on him (but not Dai-ichi products) only Mr. John...

My reason? this is why...

been there recently and asked John...

"John diba nasa 6 ohms ang rating ng Euros 8?" he then replied "yes boss" I told him "ano bang ginagamit mong impedance switch ng yamaha AVR nyo" he then replied "8 ohms min sir" I told him "bakit 8 ohms min ang gamitin mo, diba dapat 6 ohms min, hindi ba burden sa Yamaha avr yung 8ohms min setting then feeding it with 6 ohms towers paano kung nasa operation na yung AVR diba variable na yun operation hindi ba masisira yung yamaha?" he then replied "sir kasi mabubugbog yung speakers namin lalo pag araw araw ginagamit kasi tumataas yung impedance nang speakers pag ginagamit, umaabot ng 16 to 32ohms yun pag tumutunog na" then I was surprised and replied "ha? ganun ba tumataas ba hanggang 16 to 32ohms yung 6 ohms kaya sineset nyo yung avr ng 8ohms min?" he then replied with proud accent "yes sir!"...

and so goes on with the story of John...

pag labas ko ng showroom, natawa tuloy ako at i-iling-iling...  :D  ::)

Achenngg! Type ko si John, type ko batukan hehehe! Pero papa aHobbit ikaw talga type ko bwahahahar! (Joke)  ;D ;D ;D

Anak ng P%*&@!!! Talga yan John na yan oh! Sabi nya dati magtataas yung Euros 8 ng 9k kaya discounted na 7k na pagkakabili ko, isipin mo 5,3K nalang ngayon tsk! Isa pa sa kina bwiset ko kay dyan John, eh and yabang magsasasagot, parang feeling mo pag pumunta ka sa showroom ng Dai-ichi eh hindi kayang bilihin yung speakers, parang sa BOSE titignan ka mula ulo hanggang paa, one time nga inasar ko nga yung mga salesperson sa BOSE (mega), pumunta ako dun naka sando at shorts, kunwari titingin tingin lang ako, hanep yung manager dun maka tingin parang kala mo nag auaudition ka sa starstruck kung tumingin, nag tanong lang ako kung magkano yung AM5III sabi niya 25THOUSAND! Sabi ko nga pa order nga isa  ;D , napa titig siya sa akin eh. Tinanong ako kung card daw sabi ko CASH! 25K ko babayaran  ;D . Ayun nataranta binigyan ako ng discount 5% sabi san taxi daw ihahatid sabi ko sa auto ko sa 3rd floor car park A. sabi ko siya ang gusto ko mag hatid ayun tulo pawis niya eh hehehe! Oops OT sori po mods.

       Euros8 towers - actual price is 10.6K  as claimed by John "the greay guy"  and his willing to give it to me at 7.5K , kahit san daw lupalop ng pilipinas ako pumunta wala na daw mas mababa pa sa price na binigay nya.

       Euros6 towers - actual price 9K - pwede daw hanggang  7K.     for one set 15K firm.

       DTX4.12 -  actual price daw 12K, pero he's willing to give it to me at 10.5K

Ito yung ipinakita sa amin ni Brian ng Dai-ichi megamall. Pero pagkasabi sa akin, 10k lang (siguro pag group buy), or probably he meant per piece. They make this, and sell only on orders kapag binili mo from here. They dont put it in display (baka agreement with the contracting US company).

hehe, tagal na to pala thread na toh pero up ko lang.

 i have a month old euros-6 floor stander. i had the caps of the x-overs modified with mundorf m-caps (courtesy of audioamplified).
their so good. treble/extreme highs are much refined that the original polypropylenes installed on the euros x-over. anyway, when i first bought the units, medyo may crackilng sound dun sa isang unit (extreme highs), which i ignored because i thought it was the potentiometer ng treble that needs to be cleaned/replaced on my amp which crackles pag pinipihit. after having the x-overs "mundorfED", the crackling on the other tweeter became obvious. i called up Dai Mega and spoke to john. he told me just to bring the tweeter.

about john. mabait naman yung tao eh. nagpunta ako kanina sa dai-ichi mega, he tested the dead tweeter---well usually for dai-ichi, the accept the driver unit and antay kay for ilang araw sa service / replacement. John was awesome, he replaced my dead tweeter on the spot with a new one! yahoo! kudos to John for an excellent service. kaibiganin nio nalang.

nga pala, madami sale sa kanila ngayun! meron floorstanders dun na US Audio, 2x6" na woofer and a dome tweeter, sa likod ang sensitivity is 86db. they sound jazzy to me, but those units are a steal for 5,500! tweak nalang yung x-overs! pati mga bookshelf na mukhang infinity sale 3k lang!

Elemental Designs - they are still checking as another agent has started marketing it. I told my agent that we have a different market. Will let you know the next news.
DTX subs – they are just checking how much they are going to sell it.
Klipsch SB1/2 equivalent - no more stock and they will not produce anymore.
BG X-1/X-3 - no more stock and they will not produce anymore.
Wisdom Audio - they will check if they have stock and if possible to sell them here.
Soundpoles - they will check if it is possible to sell them as all stocks produced are for export only.
They are also checking if they have old stocks and other export overruns they could sell.
