We need a thread like this for easy reference.
I'm no longer in the market for speakers, since I've already ordered Wharfe Diamond 10s, but I noticed that it's pretty tedious to have to search speaker and amp threads to get answers for a receiver-speaker match question.
Posters, don't worry about conflicting opinions, since that's expected. Differences in opinion will come from differences in preference. But unpredictable differences of opinion will probably come from differences in room acoustics. Bahala na yung reader mag analyze at mag conclude.
What I have in mind is the convenience of having one go-to thread where it's easier to compare and analyze, rather than having to spend hours searching different threads.
==========================================
I have a Yamaha 700 series receiver, which used to be paired with Diamond 9s. Loved the sound, but decided to sell the speakers after I noticed 3 broken grille pegs.
My buyer has a Pio 521. Sabi ko, Yamaha would be the best match, but Pioneer would also be good. My comment was based on my recollection of old posts with the same comment. I've never sampled the combination before.
First question: Was I correct in saying that Pio is good for Wharfe Diamond 9.5?
-
^yes pioneer and wharfdale is an excellent match.
-
Ay salamat. That's a relief, really.
Worried kasi ako -- kung mali ang opinion ko, baka isipin ng buyer na in bad faith ako, at binola ko lang siya para lang makabenta ako ... ;)

Actually dalawa na kaming nakatry atty. si derick (raider125jeigh) also shares the same opinion.

Ayus!
At least pag hindi niya nagustuhan, wala sa akin ang sisi... 8)
-
what if denon-wharfedale?
-
onkyo - Polk
Wharf - Pioneer
Onkyo warm to nuetral same with marantz
Yamaha a bit bright
Pioneer a bit bright
DENON havent have one..
most of the time natame naman ng mga aud,mcacc at ypao ung ibang pairing..
-
^yes pioneer and wharfdale is an excellent match.
suggestion lang, anong model ng pioneer? ano naman ang sensitivity ng Wharfedale? kung maibibigay ang mga info na ito, merong basis for comparison....
in my case, i have a Studio ACoustics floorstanders with a sensitivity of 90db, i was able to drive it with a 6LU8 12 watter tube amp, likewise with an EL34 pp amp of 35 watts per channel, the speaker was rated for 100 watts but i do not give much significance to the speaker wattage.....
-
im not too technical with the sensitivity and all that stuff
most wharf are 86db warm sounding and great synergy with Pioneer receivers
mostly the powerful one..
i tried pio 1021 with wharf 9series... basing this by experience

AE, GoldenEars and JBLs sound good with Harmans. ;)

This is good info.
Madalas akong matanong ng Harman match --- JBL & Infinity lang ang naisasagot ko.
what if denon-wharfedale?
Not good daw? (not sure.)
-
also got my 10.1 last monday at 10cs last saturday sa spectra.. sabi nila di naman daw totoo na pangit na combination ang denon at wharfedale.. ako naman narinig ko lang din na pangit daw ipares ang dalawa..
-
Any infos about marantz. :-)

OK nga ang ganon sir. That's the kind of info I'm really looking for.
Generalizations dapat ang emphasis, then ang details ay pang-sidelights na lang. If we put more emphasis on specifics and technicalities, hindi rin naman matatapos yan. Ang mangyayari, parang yung sa religion thread na lang ang magiging usapan ... ;D

My experience was with Diamond 10's and pioneer and it sounded nice to me too. Warm parin. The Yammy - Wharf combination that I also had exprience with was a yamaha - modus one six na wharf. That was also a nice warm combo.
-
. I own a Polk tSI and they go well with my harman kardon
-
For me, habang tumataas ang models ng mga receivers, it gets kinda easier to match because higher models tend to have better EQing/tweaking possibilities. Maski bright both ang receiver and speakers, with a powerful EQ, most often, it can be tamed. Kung mababa ang cut-off mo ng speakers, sensitivity and impedance would be an issue if you're going to use the receiver's amp.
Sa stereo listening naman, in the absence of EQ, mas-important ang proper matching.

Though generally warm talaga ang wharfs :), hindi kaya warm pa din ang combination na yan is because of the auto calibration ng receiver?
-
My personal take, tried onkyo608/709 with rega rs1 for music, and its wonderful. Detailed, refined, and warm! Also tried onkyo608/709 with LSA2 tower, much better than rs1. Infinity and onkyo= balanced and neutral also.

My RTI's went well as well with my HK5500... Too bad it didnt went well when i upgraded my receiver to Yamaha.. It was ok in HT but too bright when it comes to music..
Wharfs and Yamaha are ok too
Wharfs and NAD ok too
PSB and Yamaha - winner for me..
Wharfs i used was the Diamond 8 series so i dont know how they compare with the 9's or 10's

agree Master Nelson, actually napagusapan na namin ni Barrister ito and with receiver technology such as audessy, mcacc, and YPAO naapapadali na ang speaker - receiver matching kasi nahahabol na ng EQ.

very true, the higher the power rating of the receiver or amplifier the more types of speakers it can drive...

What about Monitor Audio speakers what are the choices for good matching receivers?

For their recent models, Yamaha or CA for me -- as long as you get a higher model AVR for higher model speakers. As with anything, YMMV. Listen before you buy.
-
For stereo listening, what's good to pair with Marantz? as mentioned, matching is really critical since most stereo amps don't have calibration software that can be used to adjust the sound.

marantz sound warm....madali tong imatch huwag nalang sa wharf...unless you really want laid back...
marantz > MA > Polk >

Was planning to test it with Wharf and Mezzo since I haven't heard these pairs yet. I found the Polks a tad too bright when I paired it before with my HK amp. But i will listen to it with the Marantz.

stereo listening ba?
i suggest you use integrated amp for better result....
or marantz int amp hehe...
iba kasi ung int amp sa receiver kapag music

Meron na ako Marantz stereo receiver and cdp. Eto yung hinahanapan ko ng speaker. Ang gamit ko ngayon vintage akai coax na BS pero parang may kulang sa sound na gusto ko. Maliit ang sound stage and kulang sa imaging at lambing. Probably because the BS was designed as surround for a quadrosonic set-up for the Akai before.

Hi.ask ko lng kung ano kaya ang mas ok n speakers for yamaha rxv 373.plan ko kc if ver polk tsi 300/cs10 or wharf diamond 10.4/10cs.thanks

Sir me difference ba sa sq marantz sr6006/6007 and pm6004?
uu lalo na kung music iba ang int amp sa receiver for sure...
audition mo brader...kung audio lang...
-
Share ko lang based from the receivers and speakers I have used.
*Based din sa aking noob na pandinig...
-Onkyo 508 + Polk Tsi = Bright/forward, good for HT
-Onkyo 805 + Polk Rti = Slight bright/forward, very good for HT / good for music and concerts
-Yamaha RX-3900 + Polk Rti = Bright/forward, very good for HT / quite tiring for music/concerts
-Onkyo 805 + Paradigm Studio = Neutral to bright, very good details for HT
-Denon 4311 + JBL LS series = Neutral and quite trebly, very good for HT and music/concerts
-Denon 4311 + Rti = Neutral to bright, very good for HT / very good for music/concerts but somewhat lacking in highs
-Denon 4311 + Goldenear = Balanced and smooth... Very good for HT and music. Passable 2-channel audio performance
-Onkyo 5009 + Goldenear = For me this is the best combination I had for HT. Details are top notch, vocals/dialogs are superb. Concerts blurays are also very very good. Onkyo brought out the best in Goldenear's ribbon tweeters.
Mamaya try ko magdagdag for audio only set up.
-
heard mezzo laid back and tunog...
was that don master louie's setup? mukhang malaki ang influence ng amp on how the imaging/soundstage of the speaker would be. ang impression ko naman on a mezzo + cambridge setup was it was very forward. parang nasa harap ng mukha mo yung singer. and it was the opposite of laidback because it has really good dynamics and punch.

Bro gerard mukhang ganon na nga ata nangyari, i heard it paired with duetto's and it was a neutral sound imho. It wasn't as laid back when compared to a wharf pero generally speaking it was a lot tamer than usual.

wow, kelangan ko talaga ma-audition yang highend setup ni don master louie ;)
anyway on speaker-amp matching, i like nad + psb and nad + paradigm. I'm using a ca 550a + paradigm monitor 7 and it's very bright but I intentionally did that to offset the sound I'm familiar with on a nad+psb setup.
-
My Pio520 & 521 did'nt made my Wharfs 9.4 sing well :(.
Siguro nga kulang sa power yung AVR ko, kaya I ended up selling my 9.4's.
Yung gamit ko speaker ngayon (@98db sensitivity) although not build for HT, but very good in audio & concerts, very happy na ako. ;D

havent heard it right now with amx
nung sinalang namin ni louie un - laidback(doesn't mean bad) paired with sansui
it was detailed - warm to warm
medyo manipis lang during that time..break in period
want na din ni louie ngayon ung warm sound
sa awdyo kasi nakatuwa hehe..na nakakabliw sa pairing
kung bright espekers mo you need the ff
-warm amp
-copper speaker cable
- warm sounding cdp
the other way around kung warm speaker
good sounding audio system does not need to be so expensive...
you just need to match everything haha...sorry napunta sa awdyo
sa ht madale lang hehe..

Agree ako totally sis, nung narinig ko sa spectra yung mezzo 2 paired with yamaha parang rti yung dating. Detailed and aggressive ang highs. Nung narinig ko kay louie lumambing ng husto. I think generally ganon ata effect ng tubes kasi yung klipsch ko din lumambing with the minima.
Kaya gusto testing yung sansui kung malambing din hehe

bright kasi ung yamaha
yamaha receiver?
iba kasi ung int amp sa receiver pag awdyo haha..
balik tayo sa speaker matching...saka na si awdyo
and subjective sa gusto talaga ang speaker system pwedeng magaspang saken sa iba ok...or thr other way around
ganda ng review ni louie...daming pinagdaanan haha..almost 2years lang ata yan haha
-
marantz integrated amp w/ polk rti a3 or a1 match ba? yan kasi balak kong pag ipunan na speakers for my music only setup
-
Share ko din mga sir using sir louie guidelines as per my own noob ears.
Good, Better, Best as per my taste. :-)
-Onkyo 509 + Polk Tsi 100 = slight bright to bright, better for HT, good for music.
-Onkyo 606 + Wharfe 9.1 = slight warm to neutral, good for HT/good for music
-Onkyo 1009 + Polk Rti a9 = Slight bright/forward to bright, best for HT / good for music and concerts.
- Onkyo 1009 + b&w 685 = neutral to slight bright, better for ht / better for music and concerts
-
na-audition ko din tong combo na to dati:
Pioneer + Polk TSi = bright. good for music.
-
Rotel Integ Amp + Polk Audio RTi A7 Bright Not much bass
Harman Kardon AVR + JBL Bright

looking for a speaker and a matching amp with FM, 2.1 set-up with a budget of P 40K - P 50K.
i already have a sub. use is 80% music and 20% movies. likes warm and round sound.
this might be my next project if i can dispose current set-up.
the more reco the better for us. TIA! O0
-
Try NAD reciever and Epos speakers

Hi Guys,
I just want to ask if any of you auditioned Onkyo TX-SR313 on any brand.. Especially for HT setup.
Thanks!
-
tannoy speakers work well with Onkyo.

Kamusta po ang combination ng Pioneer VSX-1021 and B&W 685? :)
thanks

The 685's do not lose its warm-neutral sound with a pioneer in my opinion.
-

ahhhh i see :)
How about these combos
Denon AVR 1713 and PSB Image B6
Harman Kardon AVR 170 and PSB Image B6
Marantz nr1403 and PSB Image B6
Pioneer VSX-1021 and PSB Image B6
Also for acoustic energy neo 1 speakers what combo is good?
Pasensya na po daming AVR choices im choosing kasi kung sino ba yung ok eh
;D
Thanks :)

how about the yamaha 373 on the wharfe diamond 10 series? i read/heard na ok daw ang yamaha-wharfe combi pero considering na the 373 is an entry level avr, can the it drive the wharfes easily? (will be using in a small room prolly 9x14 ft)

yamaha and wharf go well together, as for your concern about driving it properly, wharf's are not the most efficient speakers. tutunog naman po sya and maganda parin tunog, the concern though is when the movie or music suddenly peaks and asks for more power, as explained by JojoD in the wharf thread, lean power will cause the lows to be lacking, making the speaker bright. And if your volume is not properly managed, you amp might end up clipping. have you tried checking the specs of both items?
-
i haven't really checked on the specs yet..i was asking kasi medjo ok ang pricing (bnew) nung items. and since am still a noob on this stuff ano ba ang kelangan ko tingnan specs wise? kulang pa rin kasi talaga knowledge ko on the technicalities eh. HTIB lang kasi nasubukan ko pa which is more of a "plug n play" type.

check the speaker sensitivity/impedence/power(RMS)
then match it with the amp(watts/ch @ 2 ch driven)

Same question.
-
my contribution, based on personal experience of equipment that i own/owned, not expert review -
Onkyo 603 + Dali Concept 6 (good pairing, but i find the sound too sharp)
Denon 1909 + Dali Concept 6 (much better than with Onkyo, especially after Audyssey setup)
Denon 1909 + A-Audio Genesis FS (best combination for me, the Genesis are much easier to listen to even at higher volumes, great mids and bass extension)
-
what if denon-wharfedale?
nightmare ;D
unless magaling ka mag tweak, tulad ng mga masters dito :)
sorry for replying to a very old post, just had to comment ..
btw my share:
denon 1509 + polk audio = neutral to bright
onkyo 508 + polk audio = very bright *bit harsh IMO* bad for everything (but joelsoldao found it to be OK)
denon 1509 + a-audio genesis = warm to dark .. good for HT *can go really low for a bookshelf, quite impressive* but really bad imaging in music
z5500 + a-audio genesis = neutral to warm, except at higher volumes, it is already muddy at times. (weak amp probably and genesis was harder to drive than the tangband satellites of z5500)
onkyo 508 + a-audio genesis = still bright but not as harsh as the 509+polk
denon 1509 + svs scs = neutral to little bit warm, just right for me
denon 1912 + svs scs = neutral just right *EVEN at higher volume but with better room correction
denon 1912 + svs sts = neutral sts is easier to drive so @ reference volume level it is still better than all my older combinations
denon 1912 + svs mts = surprisingly neutral to warm, but you can feel that the MTS is underpowered. can only play @ -15db *im too scared to play @ higher volume level*
onkyo 807 + svs mts = neutral (*neutral to warm according to ivan),
OK na ako sa receiver but if the room was a bit bigger, baka kulangin pa ;D i was gonna get a power amp but a master suggested that i wont maximize it *kailangan yata mas mahal na power amp :D *.
IMO the best combination i had was the S Series SVS and the denon 1912.
DEFINITELY i wont change my speakers, and at the moment onkyo and my m series seems to be OK (but with added power im sure this system will be better than the S series and 1912).
I am still thinking about getting a marantz receiver or a power amp. (eto mga what ifs ko) :D

Have you tried onkyo 616 to be paired with polk audio's RTi's? what specific model of the RTi?
Thanks

Im also waiting gurus and masters reply.suggestions for this question
have the same receiver Onkyo 616 and eyeing for the RTi's so far if this match.

Louie had rti a9's.
-
Have you tried onkyo 616 to be paired with polk audio's RTi's?
Personal opinion only.
I tried an Onkyo 808 with the RTI and LSI_7 and in both matching the sound quality a dull on HT.
Lacks dynamism, Ngo-ngo best describes it.
Best I have paired the Polks is with a Marantz/Denon. Yamaha comes in 2nd.
After many test it seems the Yamaha matches particularly well with most speaker brands as the sound quality is neutral

Thanks
I was able to use Onkyo 508 and Onkyo 805 with my Rti A3's and Csi A4.
For me they give a neutral to bright sound with more emphasis on the higher frequency.
The combo is very good for HT but you might find it quite fatiguing for pure audio especially when listening with them for extended hours...
HTH ^-^
-
my Harman 265 + GoldenEar Aons = kinda bright. good for audio. haven't tried on HT yet.
-
Harman Kardon AVR240 + Wharfedale9.6
- Warm and Laid-back, good vocals and non fatiguing. Good for both Music and Movies
(adjust treble to +4.0dB/6bB and will sound neutral.)
Yamaha Aventage A810 + Wharfedale9.6
- Slight warm to neutral, still non fatiguing. Good for both Music and Movies
(adjust treble to +3.5dB/6dB and will be neutral to slight bright.)
-
Hi.ask ko lng kung ano kaya ang mas ok n speakers for yamaha rxv 373.plan ko kc if ver polk tsi 300/cs10 or wharf diamond 10.4/10cs.thanks
up ko lang po question ni sir randy...
which is better Yamaha RX V373 or Pioneer VSX-522K?
i have a wharfedale 10cm center and planning to buy wharfe 10.6 fronts.
please help me decide.. thanks
-
Im also waiting gurus and masters reply.suggestions for this question
have the same receiver Onkyo 616 and eyeing for the RTi's so far if this match.
i have already bought last February the RTI A7, CSI a6 and fxi A4, so far ok naman ang response nya sa akin especially nong pinanood namin yong battleship ang ganda ng tunog kahit wala pa akong subwoofer
-
Aventage RX-A200 and Polk RTi's - Very bright for Music stressful for me, Ok for movies but harsh during loud passages
Aventage RX-A200 and PSB T6/B6 - Slightly warm very good for music and movies.. Relaxing
-
mga sir at mga gurus
how about onkyo 709 and tsi 300 series speaker?
-
Onkyo + diamond 10.1 = warm.very nice sa music...hindi nakakastress..very relaxing.
-
My setup is Yamaha RX-V667 + Wharfedale Diamond 9.1/9CS/9SR/Polk Audio PSW110. = Sings well even on Pure Direct mode. Warm but slightly bright. I tried to connect my Onkyo TX-NR609 but the sound is a little bit more laid back. More powerful in spec but I guess the Onkyo/Diamond combination is not that good.
-
Hi Sirs- Noob here- What amp can you refer with wharfedale 10.1, 10 CM and 10SR budget set up? or would i be better off with a nad316/326 budget as 70% of the time it would be used for music
Thanks!
-

Thanks!
Since you already bought speakers for a surround setup, why would you buy a stereo amp? Such purchase would just make you prone to buying another amplifier in the near future which is counterproductive to your intent for budget control. My take would be to buy an AVR which can drive those wharfs or, better yet, an AVR with preouts so that you can integrate a power amp later.
-
Thanks buddy for the response- sorry for the confusion, but for now what i have is the wharfe 10.1 and the dayton dta100a amp- will buying another stereo amp like the nad316 + cdp be a big improvement over the dayton? Or would i be better off with an avr + wdtv (flac, wav files) for my current music set up with potential to do 5.1 set up in the future?Primary purpose is for music :) also have no idea if the 5.1 set up would be good for music. Primary concern is sound quality. Thanks
Since you already bought speakers for a surround setup, why would you buy a stereo amp? Such purchase would just make you prone to buying another amplifier in the near future which is counterproductive to your intent for budget control. My take would be to buy an AVR which can drive those wharfs or, better yet, an AVR with preouts so that you can integrate a power amp later.

Thanks buddy for the response- sorry for the confusion, but for now what i have is the wharfe 10.1 and the dayton dta100a amp- will buying another stereo amp like the nad316 + cdp be a big improvement over the dayton?

It seems you are geared towards music/audio. I suggest get a beefy integrated amp to drive those wharfs.
Consider also Rotel and Marantz ;)
For me better talaga 2-channel for audio. Mas ok ang 5.1 for movies...

Sir, a quick and sure answer to your musings would be to visit the shops of our resident sellers and request for an audition of the combi that you're considering i.e wharfe 10.1 + nad316. I believe they are very accomodating.

i have already bought last February the RTI A7, CSI a6 and fxi A4, so far ok naman ang response nya sa akin especially nong pinanood namin yong battleship ang ganda ng tunog kahit wala pa akong subwoofer
mukang itong setup na lang yata mapag-intan ko ah.,,kaso center ko is CSI a4 lang,magmatch kaya sa rti a7?,more on movies kasi ako bro.

Mission MX and Boston Acoustics my fave combo for Denon's 1713 division. :)
For Infinity Primus and Polk Audio, Harman kardon naman ok for me..

Hi Sirs- Noob here- What amp can you refer with wharfedale 10.1, 10 CM and 10SR budget set up? or would i be better off with a nad316/326 budget as 70% of the time it would be used for music
Thanks!

-

2. For Dynes, hands down Plinius.
3. For the KEF, madaming nag-pair niyan sa tube amp, madami din nagandahan.

During Munich High End shows Dynaudio is almost always paired with direct-digital NAD Masters Series amps and sources.
2013 Dynaudio C1 + NAD M2
2014 Dynaudio C2 + NAD M12/M22
2015 Dynaudio XD600 + NAD M50

Show reports usually give good reviews on the pairing. This year, Stereophile said (http://www.stereophile.com/content/trade-day-high-end-2015) of the Dynaudio active speakers + NAD M50 combo: "Music sounded the warmest, clearest, and most natural of the three rooms I had visited so far. Color me impressed"

For GoldenEar speakers naman, pansin ko na pag si Sandy Gross mismo ang nagsetup sa show NELSON PASS palagi ang preferred amp.
2012: Triton 2 and Triton 7

2014: Triton 1

Help! ;D
Bought Onkyo tx sr333 and a nad 545bee cdp (and a Philips bluray player). What's the best speakers for this pairing? Previously auditioned my amp with Mission speakers and a Marantz cdp and the resulting sound was full-bodied and highly detailed. Should I also go for Mission speakers or Wharfes (planning to buy their Obsidian 600 HCP)?
Thanks in advance.

Mission over Wharf sir. One of our fave pairing is Mission with Onkyo.

may makuha akong lumang Marantz (4300) receiver, ano bang bago o lumang speaker ang magandang pares ?
for music listening lang
-
BS ba or FS? how much is the price range sir?
pero magandang pang music talaga yang Marantz mo sir.

BS lang muna, pero ok rin info ng FS. price range ng entry level to mid lang. salamat
-
trust your ears when it comes to speaker-receiver matching, just make sure hindi under powered ang amp.
-
Marantz receiver is warm, yan ang gamit ni Sir Anthony sa mga speakers nya sa showroom nya sa Paranaque. so Marantz + Anthony Audio speakers (Omega BS/Titus Gold BS)
puwede rin
-
puwede rin sir Marantz + Polk Audio speakers (bright) so that the warm amp will neutralize brightness of Polk Audio speakers. try mo sa Sound & Vision sa Banawe just look for sir Tein.

kung may extrang budget, B & W 685 bookshelf speakers maganda,detailed pero mas mahal konti and needs more amp juice. try mo sa Toyama West Avenue.
pag medyo kapos sa budget, try Wharfedale Denton 80th, sale siya sa Listening Room-Megamall/Listen Up-Glorietta. this combo is nice if you prefer sweet sounding soft music,pero pag rock and metal, its not good.
kung gusto mo musical BS talaga, try KEF LS50 pero mahal na (mga 50k pesos na yun sa audio store sa 16th avenue Cubao) or yung PSB Imagine B (worth 40k sa Wattshifi MCS Makati).
audition and let your ears (and wallet) decide. at the end of the day, it will still be you re preference in music which prevails. please also note that the sound of the speakers at the audio shop will have slight differences when you bring the speakers home due to different environment and room acoustics.

maraming salamat sir zram18!
alam ko namang depende din sa pakikinig ko pero at least may basehan na rin as starting point.
