if your room isn't so big, why don't you try the mini/sattelite speakers of Mirage. i think its the AVS series. i saw a set in Image (G/F Harrison Plaza) which is on sale for around P25K. don't be fooled by their size, though. they sound much bigger than they look. here's a link:
http://www.miragespeakers.com/products/currentproduct/avs/index.htm (http://www.miragespeakers.com/products/currentproduct/avs/index.htm)
what's better sounding, the B&W DM303 speakers or the Bose Acoustimass speakers?
Try the diamonds with high current amps like the ones from NAD and rotel, you'll be surprised how good the diamond 8.1's sound :) but I agree, for the diamond series the 8.1's are the best of the bunch.
what's better sounding, the B&W DM303 speakers or the Bose Acoustimass speakers?
B&W.
MBtwenty, not advisable due to the 8.1's low sensitivity (86 db), its kind of ironic that these budget speakers need mid-priced amps to sound really good!
they better be! nice choice of receiver! ;D -been lusting after the same brands lately...logical to assume na products from the same parent company will sound good together!
-how about looking at the more upscale european jbl or di kaya infinity lineup din?
ganun b notaku??? cge salamat ;D
sir redkoji,
i have an rxv-800 yamaha receiver ,could you recommend a better or maybe the best match speaker for this .
Thanks !
redkoji,
Saan pwede mag audition ng definitive pro 80? thanks
hi mga EXPERTS,
i got big speakers for my front, siguro 10" diameter ang driver. is it ideal that all my surrounds should be 10" also to get the sonic balance referred to in many posts here? thanks..
Titanium,
San ba yun place mo para I could refer the nearest dealer.

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie in HT. I recently got a hk avr3550 and owned speakers:
m72i - front
m7c1i - center
m70i - rear
but no sub yet. Is that speaker sufficient enough to handle the load or should I get the m74i for the front and retain my center and rear speakers instead of getting a subwoofer?
Do you have any suggestions for a sub that ranges between 10-15K then that would match my hk? ???
hope that you could help me out here...

Pls recommend speakers (brand and model) na me
"malakas na sipa" (lots of punch).
Thanks.
What is your budget and purpose? Why dont you try getting a good subwoofer instead. You can try Velodyne, HSU, or SVS.
3rwin,
Sir kung player lang sya I think you need a Receiver to power those speaker or your Nextbase have a built in amplifier na?? :)
It is a question usually asked by friends. "Gusto ko
ng speaker na me malakas na palo"
I have Mordaunt Short 3.10 and Classic 40.
Using the Classic 40 with a REl Starta III.
Been listening to hip-hop lately, loud volume
levels, now suffering from a temporary hearing
loss. ;)
3rwin, like what john posted, check out the Logitech Z-680 5.1 speaker system.My friend bought 1 for P18500 and I think its a good deal. It can go real loud. Altecs that I've tried can't compare with this one. The Subwoofer is 185 watts RMS. Total RMS including the satellites is 450watts. has built in dts, DD, Dpl2 decoder. Has optical and coaxial inputs aside from the 6 channel direct connection form your sound card. Also connected it to a dvd player using the coax and played Black Hawk Down and Twister. The sound quality is very good IMHO. You can also use it with an X-box and PS2. Klipsch has the Promedia 5.1 which has 500 RMS rating but costs about P25T and has no decoder. Both are THX certified.
i've been on the lookout to upgrade from acoustic energy aegis one for 3yrs now but im not willing to spend too much if the improvement is only minor. supposing i can sell my ae setup for 15k, these are my cost estimates for a 5-speaker upgrade:
mordaunt short ms-900 series.... 9k
mission m70 series..................... 10k
monitor audio bronze series....... 18k
b&w 600 series 3........................ 23k
mission 780 series...................... 30k
which would be the best upgrade? doesn't matter if its the most expensive as long as its the most improvement. the aegis speakers have a rolled off top end which kinda removes the "air" out of recordings, but everything else sounds incredible. maybe a supertweeter like a tannoy st-50 is a better upgrade?
thanks sa advice, av_phile & levi... i didnt notice my shortlist was all british until u pointed it out. that may be because i haven't seen that many american brands below 20k. i heard a psb image floorstander w/c sounded good but it was too expensive for me.
i shouldn't have said it "doesn't matter if its the most expensive as long as its the most improvement". truth is im still very much budget conscious, w/c is why i reluctantly want to upgrade. what i should have said was: i may be willing to spend 20-30k as long as the improvement is proportional to the cost. hmmm... maybe thats whats keeping me from upgrading - its hard to put a value on sound quality. is the b&w 2x better than mordaunt? is mission 3x better?
even if it is, my electronics may not be up to the task. which begets an amp upgrade. yikes, magastos talaga ito, so im being very careful.
thanks Philander
I'll also consider kef's cresta and coda series. One reason that I'm not considering yet floorstanders is because of the lack of space.
Are there any floorstanders that will fit within my budget though 10-15k that would address the best sound quality for both music and movies?
thanks in advance.. :)
guys,
need your suggestions and expert opinions pls, which front bookshelf speakers would be excellent in music and good also in movies, my receiver is a hk 3550. Budget would be around 10k-15k... Also noted that I don't have any subwoofer yet.
Thanks.
speakers to choose from:
polk audio rt 28 or r20
mission m70 series
monitor audio bronze series
b&w
infinty entra
klipsch
thanks Philandergreatness,

thanks bro, im using an old denon 2700 receiver plus an integrated stereo amp (onkyo integra). i use the pre-outs of the receiver to power the fronts separately. i get better results this way even though the onkyo is just a japan surplus amp that i got for 3.5k. the denon is rated 5x80w at 0.02% THD and i dunno the wattage of the onkyo but it does consume 292watts which i thought is kinda high. hope it has enough juice to drive the 908.
thanks superman, hehe break in ko muna. yun ba tawag dun, o burn in? naku pag nakagat ng upgrade bug magastos! buti na lang ginamit ko muna calculator ko. baka in the end between 10k - 15k lang gastos ko hehe.
levi,
pls help me on this. how do you rate bose acoustimass speakers. i have a set given as a gift, a friend told me to sell and get better ones available in the local market. btw, i have a TEAC 9800 receiver
thanks
pero both Yamaha and Denon receiver sound great with a Wharfdale or a Mission ba?
which to which combi do you prefer?
i went to an audio shop last week and looking for a HT setup and they recommend me this for an entry-level and budget wise setup.
Receiver : Yamaha RXV440 - P16,000 or Denon AVR1603 - P16,000
Speaker set A : Front - Diamond 8.3 (100w)P7,500
Center & Surround - WH2 (2x100w 1x120w) P3,800
Subwoofer - DQ12 (300w) P6,000
Speaker set B : JBL SCS 178 5x100w 1x150w down firing P21,000
Q1 : if i'm into 70% movie and 30% sound. which receiver?
Q2 : Speaker set A or B?
recommendations will be appreciated....
Ltcool, while at park Square, try visiting 5th ave and check out the Mordaunt-Shorts MS900 series.

I just audition Wharfs Diamond and Zaldek at Sound Dimention, their speakers where setup outside their store, I found diamond's lacks in bass but very good in highs and mids a lot of breaking-in should be done, the zaldek really rocks the house like a boom box but I can't seem to hear it's mids, I said to the saleperson "parang wala akong marinig na mids puro bass" sabi nya sa acoustics lang ng place kasi they were set-up outside,
I been to Spectra before I bought my Yammy, I'm eyeing for their HK sana, but there's no tech person there to talk to, as to the specification of HKs I can't seem to find the model over the internet,and I intend to audition sana their HK, as to no avail, sabi nila baka afternoon pa papasok yung may-alam sa mga receivers, I seen some tube-amps setup their pero nde ko na-audition. Pardon me Ops medyo OT to.
I'll be heading there by Sunday, I guess I'll try to audition Mission, Mordaunt, Monitor Audio and B&Ws as you guys suggested.
Whew hirap pala mahanap ng match na speaker. Kasi iba-iba yung characteristics ng speaker, there mabye good in highs but lack on either mids or bass or in the otherway around. IMHO, Wala pa rin talagang perfect na speaker, it's a matter of preference na lang talaga.
Thanks guys,

Anyone familiar with Quad Loudspeakers? A friend of mine is planning to match the 22L (front) 21L (rear) LC (center) with the Yamaha RXV-2095 receiver. Please advise.

Hi Jerix,
Na-try mo na ba Diamond 8.3? I have been using it for almost a year na and enjoy naman ako. My avr is Pioneer VSX-D509S. Read my post for you sa Diamond thread.
Cheers.
hi losi,
thnks bro, i think i still have to read that...but anyway hows the mids of you 8.3 ? my concern kasi is that i have a relatively big HT area about 36 sgm and most of the time open ang windows. i got a big sub kaya m not so concerned with the lows medyo gusto ko lang ay clear ang MIDS...

Very new ako sa HT with my 2-weeks old Yamaha RXV-550. Grabe pala ang daigdig ng home theater, nakakalito ang sobrang dami ng pagpipiliang speakers! Hingi ko tulong nyo, mga seasoned HT-ers dito sa forum, please suggest kung anong brand ng speakers ang magma-match sa Y550. Alam ko na self-audition ang best approach ko para makapili pero please help me to narrow-down my search para naman maka-focus ako sa 2-3 brands. At present, gamit ko ay generic china speakers, remnants nung dati kong mobile audio set-up, plano ko mag-upgrade ng speakers before christmas 'hope somebody can help me to decide which brand. By the way, my budget is around 20K for complete 5.1 speaker set, option ko na lang later yung pang 6th na center rear. Thank you.
Ü
Maybe I will just arrange it from top to lowest. (IMO):
1. Monitor Audio B2
2. B&W DM 303
3. Mission m31
4. Wharfedale 8.1 ( i like this better than 8.3)
5. Wharfeedale 8.3
Wow! Thanks for the prompt replies! D best talaga sa info 'tong PinoyDVD, very professional pa mga tao here.
I am starting to narrow-down my search now; KEF and Wharf's leading the pack. Sa Friday I will visit PrkSquare1 to audition these two brands.
I appreciate more info, suggestions and details, thanks again.
Ü
Paki post na rin yung result/observation mo...thanks... ;D
KEF, you could get hold of it at Audio World in Banawe. I think KEF's would be more suited for your budget setup since that sensitivity is rated at 90db compared that of the Wharf's which has 86 or 87db. Kinda hard load for an entry level receiver or amp. Second, KEF's really go loud compared to that of the Wharf's.
Thanks for the info. I will audition 1st the KEF kasi may mga narinig din akong negativ feedback sa Wharf, pangit na raw yung models dito sa local market kasi lower quality na raw at plastic pa ang enclosure; unless I get daw a UK-made Wharf na mas maganda ang quality. But in fairness, no comment muna ako until I actually audition it. By the way, san banda sa Banawe yung Audio World, any landmark please? Thanks.
Ü
mission try mo pre.
Tulong lang po!!!!!!!!!!
Meron Na akong set up sa bahay using my HK3550 which is last year model yata, but i want your suggestion for a speaker na bagay sa reciever ko in terms of audio and HT. I use Bose AM5 as my front, Warfdale for my Surround and center,and Ganzclar for my sub. Well ok din naman sya lalo na sa movie but i think mas maiimprove pa siguro kung ibang speaker gagamitin ko....
Any suggestion?
In my opinion mas maganda kung same brand of speakers ang gagamitin mo (e.g. wharf fronts, & center) ;)
Correct ka dyan Sir Control.. get the same brand as possible specially yun front speakers mo..left,right and center.
Kayo ang nag-turo sa akin nyan Sir Pasok...share ko lang din sa iba... ;D

Pareparehas lang tayo natuto dito ;D ;D ;D going back to the topic, you can consider the XLO VDO as your sepaker wires, they are good both in audio and HT.
Isa lang ang Mr. Endorser dito ;D ;D yan pa lang kasi ginagamit ko kaya yan lang marerekomenda ko pre ;D
Hi, I'm a newbie home theater enthusiast. I just bought a Yamaha receiver RXV450 and am planning to upgrade my speakers. My budget is 25K. I'm looking for 5.1 speakers with the best value for money or bang for the buck that is available locally.
Q1. Which brand would you recommend and where can I buy them?
Q2. I saw Wharfdales at Spectra Audio (forgot model duh!) for 23K and Gale at 5th Avenue for 25K. Which of the two is the better brand?
Q3. Are there better brands in the same price range than Wharfdales and Gales?
Really appreciate the help as I know NOTHING. :-)
Thanks
Check out Usher and Aurum Cantus.
Thanks. Can you tell me where I can check them out?
Any store you can recommend that's honest, knowledgeable and reliable?
You can always contact Mr. Sonny Tuazon of The Home Theater in Tordesillas St. Salcedo Village or Rene Rivo (nyperaudio) near Cash and Carry for the best prices of B&W speakers.
Personally, I could dish out over 10 brands to you - All of them rated by various a/v and audiophile magazines. However, before buying you should ask yourself these questions:
1. What type of material will you be playing all the time? CDs or DVDs? What's the %age 60-40?
2. If you're a music person. What type to do you listen to? Pop, Jazz, R&B, Classical?
3. If you're a movie buff. What kind of movies do you watch?
4. What type of room do you plan to put it in? Size?
5. How far are you willing to go or spend for your system?
6. Do you want it all at once? or Piece by piece?
What's the average price for a whole 5.1 set of B&W brand speakers?
My opinion, I would either go for the AE or the B&W (in that particular order). Here is link to add for your reference
http://www.aslgroup.com/ae/aegis_evo_one_vs_bw_kef_mission.htm
I'm using AE mainly for audio listening. For HT I use JBL LX 2000 Series speakers and sub. But had I known AE before the JBL I would have chosen it for my HT setup as well.
But then as most of the guys here would say, that's just me. Is is always best to audition them.
Just helping out lang po.
Regards.

Hi what would the different sensitivity level mean?
Is that 25k budget for ALL 5.1 speakers including sub?
you can try out the infinity primus series. architectural audio has it. in my honest opinion and in my own listening preference, the infinity primus 160 is more airo and open in terms of mid and high never harsh while monitor audio bronze series are very metallic sounding the highs are kinda harsh. pair the infinity primus with a velodyne cht-10 subwoofer. perfect combination, you've got nice mid and high and deep lows.
by the way, infinity's got high sensitivity rated at 90db, so the yamaha's wouldn't really have a hard time driving the infinity's...package price is i think around 25k
Average, meaning the 600 series 3 models?, including a subwoofer, last I checked, you could budget something like 120T for a complete 5.1. For sure you could get substantial discounts if you get all from one store, say Sound DImension.
If I recall right, here's a recommended 5.1 B&W set in the 600 line-up.
B&W 602 s3 bookshelf front: 28,000
B&W LCR600 center: 25,000
B&W DS6 dipole rear: 33,000
B&W ASW600 subwoofer: 31,000
Check out Sound Dimension and Upscale Audio (on order basis) for a more updated pricing.
Wow! way out in space for me. I thought because I specified in my post that my budget was 25k that when people suggested BW, they were referring to ones within that budget
so how much are these primus beauties go for here? and where are they available?

with your budget you can go for brand new entry level speakers or you may want to consider getting higer quality but second hand speakers. this way your budget will get you a set of speakers that are way better than the entry level ones. There are lots of reliable sellers here in pdvd and im quite sure you can get a good deal. Most if not all of the sellers take care of their speakers so rest assured that the chances for you getting a pair that are well taken cared of are very high. you can get a second hand front speakers and subs for example and then just buy brand new center channel and surrounds. your Yamaha receiver will sound best when paired with speakers that are laid back and transparent. B&W comes to mind. if you can find a set of their old DM302's (approx Php7T/pair second hand) then boy you are lucky. a quintet of those speakers will be hard to beat in terms of transparency and accuracy. IMHO, Wharfe, Infinity, Monitor and other speakers that belong to the entry level model range cant hold a candle to the DM302's performance. there are a million and one speakers out there that fall within your budget. You just have to audition, audition and audition.
BTW, try to call up Minnie of Listening Room. maybe she can set you up with a good sounding rig that wont break your wallet. They also distribute Yammys so they know which speakers sound best with that brand of receiver. number is (02)6329577. they also sell B&W speakers. alam ko bro may sale sila ngayon and may 12 and 18 month interest free sila na options. good luck bro.
Wow! way out in space for me. I thought because I specified in my post that my budget was 25k that when people suggested BW, they were referring to ones within that budget
my budget is 25k
6. Do you want it all at once? or Piece by piece?
my most important criteria is bang for the buck. if i could do it piece by piece then ok but i also read somewhere about matching timber so they recommend getting same brand for the fronts and center so i'm kinda leaning to one brand all at once na rin.
well my ears are not really as good as many of you guys in here. i made auditions and i cant tell the difference so i'm ok relying on opinions of experts.
actually, i haven't really been auditioning stuff. medyo nahihiya kc ako kc nde pa naman ako bibili kaya tanung tanong ako sa mga experts dito.brod wag kang mahiyang mag-audition, kailangan mo talagang marinig at ma-test kung anong bibilhin mo dahil mahirap magbalik ng produkto dyan sa atin kung di ka happy at tsaka di naman tayo sobrang yaman para bili lang ng bili ng di man lang ina-audition. di ka naman cguro tatanggihang mag-audition lalo na pag nalaman nilang pinoydvd member ka dahil kilala nila itong forum na ito at kung may bad experience kung sakali ka e di i-post mo dito para madala sila.
Bro i just wu'd like to have the others opinion of my initial set up HT.
what wu'd be the best combination of speaker for the ff:
1. yung player ko ba na sunpac will affect the sound quality kahit naka
optic na ?
2. kailangan ko pa mag-upgrade ng player?
3. match ba ang b&w at cresta?
4. anu kaya mas maganda na setup or upgrade?
onkyo tx-sr502
b&w dm303
cresta kef ( center & sorround)
velodyne vx-10
(pirated pa yung player ko SUNPAC)

if you're using digital connection between player and receiver, ok na yang sunpac mo.
bro sa experience ko kasi using kef sa center at rear b&w sa fronts
mahina yung center pero yung front malakas at malinaw lalo
na sa soundtrack. kapag nilakasan ko ang volume
ok. lang sa center malinaw na pero nakakagulat sa front kasi
sobrang lakas,hindi sila balance.
Q1. pag pinalitan ko ba ng b&w rin yung center nya balance na sila
kahit kef pa rin sa rear?
Q2. bakit hindi ko masyado maapreciate yung surround? original na dvd
na ang gamit ko,pero parang wala na ko masyado marinig sa surround
front & center lang. digital connection na rin ako.
baka kasi pag pinalitan ko yung center ng same b&w ganun pa rin ang sound
nya,sayang naman bugdet. mag iiba kaya talaga yung sound nya.
pero yung kef ko sa rear ok na kahit hindi ko palitan? o my big effect pa rin
sa surround?
.....mahina yung center pero yung front malakas at malinaw lalo

bro thanks, anu ba yung multichannel music?
bro ibig sabihin pag gumamit ako ng thx optimizer balance na yung sound nya? panu kapag gumamit ako ng hindi thx na dvd ibig sabihin hindi na ulit sila balance? applicable lang to sa dvd thx at thx certified na receiver ganun ba?
baka kasi pag pinalitan ko yung center ng same b&w ganun pa rin ang sound

Hi guys! I'm quite new here. I'm setting up a system purely for audio and I'm still shopping for a pair of floorstanding speakers and speaker cables that will match my system. I'm planning to buy the AE Aegis Evo3 floorstanding speakers and CS 2.3 cables. Need your recommendations. Here's my present equipment:
NAD C340 Integrated Amp
NAD C521BEE CD Player
Ecosse Composer Interconnect
Thanks!

Budget 20k for speakers(front,center and surround). I already have a sub- wharfedale SW150 using a Marantz SR4500. 7.1 un pero siguro kahit 5.1 muna for the meantime.... Any recomendations? Thanks!!!

bro gamit ko marantz 4400, 9.4, 9.1, cs and WH2 , so far ok naman sya para sa akin, sa ht swak na swak pero sa music medyo bitin talaga sa bass, pero kung may sub ka walang problema, kayang kayang nyang ibigay gusto mong lakas.
if u have time pwede mong i-audition unit ko and bring ur reciever para lalong maganda. ;)
bacoor cavite ako eh, pero malapit lang un, 30minutes from makati, pm mo lang ako kung gusto. ;) pero wkend lang ha.
that will be nice! sana nga lang malapit lang bahay mo. mabigat kasi receiver. makati ako eh.
as what punk_kid said, mas maganda kung same brand ng front speakers mo yung center speaker mo for good matching... usually it comes in combo naman... what's your front speakers bro?
mission m3c2 is good. btw, wat are your existing main speakers?
around 9k lang ang m3c2 boss. :)
:o huuwwaattt!!! 9k!!!!! ung wharfedale 9cs ata is 4.5k lang..hmm...malaki kaya difference sa sound quality nun? and ano naman ang magandang model na i partner sa m3c2 na front speakers? and magkano?ung medyo pasok sa budget, ah?!! O0
nakita ko na ung m3c2..ang pogi nya pala...hehehehe >:D
dheng, how much is your budget ba? are you getting fronts also? the mission center will likely blend better w/ mission fronts than any other brand.
missions are rated 8 ohms. the wharfs 6. the lower the impedance (measured in ohms), the harder to drive. but the impedance issue will only matter if you plan to rattle the nearby town ;D
i agree with bumblebee. im a newbie here too. :)
the m34i is the perfect match of the m3c2. you cant go wrong with missions. im a mission user too. ;D
zap,
invite mo na lang si dheng sa bahay nyo to audition your mission speakers hehehe

Wow! lufet pala ng setup ni zap :o must hear nga yan dheng... puntahan mo na kaya lang baka di ka na makatulog kapag narinig mo na yun ;D
Congrats Bro Zap! ;)
tingin naman ng setup mo 5speed! may link ka rin? balak ko kasing mag mission na rin. before wharfedale..extend ng konti ang budget...what do you guys think? malaki kaya difference ng sound quality? thanks! O0
and acoustic energy evos. same price range. meron din sa sights and sound.
dheng,
wala na akong HT setup bro.... audio lang ;)
mission and other brands have their own characteristics.... let your ears decide.... and also your pocket ;D

dko maintindihan...pag may HT setup kana diba pwde mo rin naman gamitin ung sa audio? iba ba ang mga equiptment ng audio sa HT? sa speakers ba or sa receivers?
pwede din kasing gamitin yung receiver when listening to music but i like the sound of a 2-channel amp so i decided to have an audio setup.
ahhh...i c...hmmm..kala ko kasi malaki ang difference..
S&S shang have yammie receivers too. :) so no need to bring it there. IMHO
bumblebee,
ganyan ganyan ang player-receiver combo ko! hahaha
pero i guess im going for the nautilus series ng B&W or the 7.1 ng Triangle Speakers
I went to sonny to check and he suggested the B&W Nautilus 800 or the 700 or even the 600 series. Another alternative as per his advise is the Triangle Stratos Series.
Now I tried Listening in Style and I got the Dynaudio Reference Series suggestion.
Sa park squuare naman eh Klipsch at Monitor Audio.
Now I'm so confused on what to get. Please help me guys, my passion is into both Music and Home Theater Video.
Please reply thanks
while the 3805 is really good, i would use it as a pre/pro and get some other amp to power the nautilus.
Hi guys, I am setting up a HT for my sister (na-B.I. >:D ko brod in law ko.) I will be using a Yammy 650. I wanted to use Mission speakers again but I have trouble finding them in the market. So I am planning to use other speakers. Budget is around 35k for speakers, main must be floorstanders, surrounds are preferably bipolar.
Which do you think is better Wharfe Diamond 9.6 or 9.5, or Mordaunt Short tower?
Thanks in advance guys :)

Hello mga Sirs,
Meron bang available na Wharfedale Xarus series at Zaldek series speakers jan sa 'tin sa Pinas?
Dito kase sa Taiwan, ung XR-4000 nila eh, around NT$8000 (13,000Php) baka mas mura jan sa atin
kung may available, made in China lahat dito. Ok lang ba sa Yamaha RX-V457? dati kasi naka avail ako
nang HTR-5730, pinalitan ko nang RX-V457 na AVR.
Ano kayang pwedeng i-match na speakers sa RX-V457?
salamat mga sir.
You can get 4 Wharfedale 9.1's, a 9.CS and a SW150 for about 24k.
Pls recommend good 6 ohms satellite speakers. Thanks.
sir, are these good enough for 50-50 setup? im both into music and movies kasi. lasty, what's the entry level avr i can pair these with? ;D
Wharfedale diamond 9.0's.
Yup thats good, I didnt know it is 6ohm. Any brand/model smaller?
Do they have to be 6 Ohms nominal? The MS302's are 4 Ohms.
sir, are these good enough for 50-50 setup? im both into music and movies kasi. lasty, what's the entry level avr i can pair these with? ;D
sir, are these good enough for 50-50 setup? im both into music and movies kasi. lasty, what's the entry level avr i can pair these with? ;D
Yup! Yamaha + the 9.1 with SW150 properly placed is good enough for 50-50 setup. ;)
sir, any ideas on the price of the SW150? thanks
9k.
Sir bubblebee,
How much ang Wharfedale 9.5? Saang store pwedeng maka score? Thanks
hi...patulong naman mga sir. ok ba ang def tech na speaker like yung protower or the bp series? also if more onto HT? nagpapatulong kasi yung tito ko sa speaker. ok ba yung mga speaker na yun.i read reviews lang sa mga yun and puro good reviews kasi.thanks.
Brod, try mo BP10 sa Avid, but you have to use a separate sub like the prosub200, para ma achive mo ang full spectrum of sound, kung protowers naman may built it sub na ito, but these poses a posibilities of a big problem, dahil mag oobsolete na ang def tech sa Pinas dahil hindi ito mabenta, according to my friend who recently bought a Pro200 to upgrade his pro80 and prosub80, so medyo mahihirapan ka pagdating sa upgrades like 5.1 to 7.1, unless ibalik sa market ito, pero kung performance lang panalo def tech...
oh well... :(... thanks sir JFBagadiong for your response. :)
yup sir..im thinking of the bp series that avid/studio are offering. parang ang gaganda kasi ng reviews about def tech speakers. gusto ko tuloy maka-audition nito and kung malaki talaga difference specially the bipolars for DVD's. :)
if you are keen on getting the bipolars from def tech make sure to give them ample space for them to work their magic.
yo mga audio and ht experts what's d best speakers and sub for yamaha rx v 450?
Mga sir, how about Wharfedale? I've heard a lot about this speaker for Yahama receivers. Is this speaker really good for HT set up?
sirs, question lang po...bumili kse ako ng yamaharxv457. eh anong set ng speakers ang pwedeng e-match sa yamaha rxv457? kaya ba ng 457 magpatunog ng floorstanders na speakers? kailangan din ba na mataas ang sensitivity ng speakers? tapos sa sub naman ano ang okay na mura?
Sir, try mo auditioning these brands (Mission, B&W, wharfedale, Definitive technology, NHT) those speakers are presently available localy, kung local made speakers naman try Dai-ichi, very competitive narin sa price at performance meron silang showroom sa megamall and sa Raon, they have floor standers there and if im not mistaken Yammy AVR din ang connected sa Euro 8's nila, kung magka problema madali maibalik or irepair.
Sensitivity is no problem as long as you like the taste of each speakers reproduction, wharfs has 86db 9.2 diamond series while daichi has 88 to 91db Euros series, so to compare these two still for me mas clear and sound ng wharfs kaysa sa daichi regardless of the sensitivity. pero as you said if you want floor stander na hindi masyado mahal go for dai-chi euro series or minsan may nagpopost sa Buy & Sell section dito ng branded floor stander at very cheap price ;)
For Subs naman okey ang (REL, Mission, Definitive Tech, Velo) pero if you want a sub thats not pricey try the DTX 6.2 it has 350W of power.
dont worry about the power of your 457, dahil dynamic power at high current capable ito, just dont push it to a 2 ohms load just to be safe levels diba? :D by the way Yammy is a bit bright, so metal tweeters such as "Definitive" will sound a bit high, yung matinis ang tunog, while on a silk tweeters they will sound quite fine and compensated, anyways may adjustment naman ng treble at bass eh so no problem. :)
So still bro the final word still you, the brands that Ive mentioned are just a few good players sa market that has a good performance, Im pretty sure meron dito that will fit your budget. ;)
okay sir, salamat. try kong tignan yung wharfedale tyaka yung dai ichi. meron namang store nyan sa megamall. hindi ko na kailangan dalin yung receiver ko diba? kse meron naman clang ganung receiver dun diba? nasa specification ba ng speakers kung silk sya or hindi?
Yup, sir no need to bring your receiver, they have AVR na pang audition, I think sa Daichi Yammy din ang AVR nila dun sa megamall, just dont know dun sa whafs yammy din. heres a tip mas mura ang Wharf sa Ambassador app.
yung silk is indicated sa speakers specification when you audition...
happy HT scouting... ;)
san po ba yung ambassador? ang alam ko sa greenhills meron store na yun. pero mukang closed na ata.
Sa may park square 1 in makati, infront of quad and national bookstore malapit siya sa SM makati.
san po ba yung ambassador? ang alam ko sa greenhills meron store na yun. pero mukang closed na ata.
What speakers would you recommend for an all audio setup but within an affordable budget? Also, for an all audio setup, which is better, bookshelf speakers or floorstanders?
Definitely floor standers, completely arrayed speakers, than those bookshelf speakers that rely so much on subwoofers.
For affordability go for local brands such as studio acoutics euros 8 floorstanders, for imported ones go for the wharf's diamonds series but bookshelf type lang ang affordable nila...
What speakers would you recommend for an all audio setup but within an affordable budget? Also, for an all audio setup, which is better, bookshelf speakers or floorstanders?
Floorstanders or bookshelf?? Depends how big is your room? Agree that floorstanders have more bass but may sound boomy and shadow some detail you may like while bookshelf will provide better image and detail but lack bass. :)
iba na papanaw mo ngayon sir hans ;D
hanef! ;D
sir, kailangan din bang maganda yung klase ng wire ang gagamitin mo para maganda ang tunog ng speakers mo? or pwede na yung mga transparent wires na nasa hardware? tyaka subs, anong klase ng wire ang ginagamit?

IMO, if your use is mainly HT, those P40-P80/ meter wires (audiopro) would do. Unless you have lots of budget to spare.
But if you are into audio, get better wires. I use (biwired) Ecosse 2.3 for my HF and IXOS 6006 for my LF and I only notice a difference in audio and not in HT.
just my 2 cents
hi to all,,
how about the 9.2 model..ok po kya rin un..nu po kya ma recommend nyo na subz..thanks
I totaly agreed with this one.. comparing the 602 s3 with the valdus 500se...lack of bass.now im having second thought of keeping the 602 to my HT setup.any advice wll help..TIA.
peace!!

Depend ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D to hear is to believe. Pero believer ako ng cables and IC even my friend who is just starting his setup is also a believer from regular Audio pro speaker told him to try QED bronze ngayon makulit pa IC naman daw. ;D ;D.i.c? as in rg6 for car audio? :-X
salmat sir! say po ba yung spectra? sa mga audiophile meron din kayang ganung klaseng wire? magkaiba ba yung QED bronze dun sa puresonic? or brand lang yung puresonic?QED is a speaker cable and interconnect brand - - - www.qed.co.uk
guyz,
wat bookshelves speaker u can recommend for audio only with around 20k budget........thanks.
What locally made speakers have good performance? I'm considering just buying local speakers as a way to support the local industry. Thanks!

Any recommended good sounding satellite/sub speakers to match flat panel TVs?
I am using my spare M72 bookshelf for my LCD TV and I am bothered by its bulkiness. I am looking for a (good sounding) satellite sub combo in the near future for this bedroom setup (2nd set up already) . I used to recommend the JBL SCS series before but when I listened to it again, medyo masakit sa tenga. Great bang for the buck though for a 2nd set up.
So I am looking for alternatives.
TIA :)
Guys,
Looking for an efficient bookshelf or floorstanding speakers for use with a low power ss amp, hope you can recommend something that won't break the bank.
Thanks
Guys,
Ano po ba mas maganda surround for 16sqm room size? wharfedale diamond 9SR or 9DFS for 5.1 setup only?
para sa akin Diamond 9DFS na, para surround every where...
ok din po ba yung 9dfs kung makikinig ako ng 5.1 music?
oo naman no problem yun. same design siya ng mission surrounds, it looks like this;
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/loudspeaker_m3dsi_hi.jpg)
bakit may nagsasabi na pangit daw ang dipole kapag 5.1 audio na pinapakinggan? Mas maganda daw kapag monopole?
monopole din ba yung 9dfs?
thanks
bakit may nagsasabi na pangit daw ang dipole kapag 5.1 audio na pinapakinggan? Mas maganda daw kapag monopole?
dont' just believe if they say "pangit DAW", you have try it for yourself. maybe the one who said it just heard from someone who heard it from another one, etc etc. it's just a matter of taste and preference, let your ears decide and not someone's expert advice 'kuno'. in the end, it is you who will hear and enjoy them until you decide to replace them.

Your really should audition your shortlist, preferrably with the amp or receiver you have in mind. But don't let the price tags affect your decision. Some brands are said to be cheap locally due to some import conditions, but can be quite expensive on the net or in other countries. Pinoys are lucky, the multi-awarded Wharfedale models here are said to be relatively inexpensive compared with the other brands. While that same model may be more expensive than those other brands elsewhere. Just a thought.

While that same model may be more expensive than those other brands elsewhere. Just a thought.this is so true. here in melbourne, i was eyeing for the diamond 9.6 when it was released but the price was around 50%+ more than the recommended price in manila :o. same goes with other HT stuff like receivers and subs (ang mura ng velodyne!). baka pag uwi ko dyan e most likely ma-SARS ako :).
save ka nalang for a higher model na receiver, coz I bliv gumaganda lahat ng tunog ng speaker kung busog sila....mapa US Audio hanggang High End speaker of whatever brand pa...
murang mura na if the set includes 2 pairs of 602's for your fronts and rears plus the lcr600 for your center, or better yet 602's all around:D ive never auditioned MA before but ive heard the 602's and they are fantastic!
[/quote
sir et,
yes set na ng DM602s3 / lcr60s3/dm600s3. oks na oks na ba ito for 55K?? ??? ???
I heard them both and I'd say it depends on your taste for music.newbie, this is actually my dilemna, 50/50 ako for ht and music. well i guess mahirap talaga pagsabayin in one area ang ht/music.
Both are good speakers so you won't get wrong if you choose any of these.
If more on HT Id say go for the B&W if more on Music go for the MA.
BTW I have the 602s3 and LCR60s3 for my HT and planning for the MA RS for audio if budget permits.
imho i wud get the lcr600 if i were u para matching ung fronts mo. i dunno the price now but last yr the dm602 was 25k, lcr60 15k... im not sure about the dm600, 10k ata e. these were if u paid in cash. hope this helps ;Det414,
Can you recommend one for audio listening only budget's less than 30K.
Can you also recommend a good amp to match your recommended speaker.
I intend not to use a sub for this setup.

imho, the best entry-level HT set-up for an all B&W combo speakers would be: 602s3 as fronts, lcr60s3 as center & 600s3 as rears ;)
lcr600s3 as center is better paired w/ either the 603s3 or 604s3 floorstanders........ 8)
thanks classicman! yes, this is the package that they are giving, again, is 55K a "very good" deal for this package?? Not sure yet how much is the bronze series set of MA. Is the difference that noticeable?, lets say for audio, and HT? Whats the ratio? I heard MA Bronze set is cheaper. Pasensya na po at naninigurado lang... :)
Hi,
I'm looking to replace my bose acoustimass. Current avr ko is rxv1500. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.. Budget 30k.
match ba ang monitor audio sa yammy? i'm currently considering rs1 for fronts.
Question?
What is a good speaker match to NAD 304 ( 35 watts /channel ? ) for home video karaoke use. We dont need a very loud set up but I think high sensitivity speakers 89 db up is needed. Priority is clarity of voice and SIZE of speaker. It should be within 15 inches height bookshelf. Budget is 15-20 K. Help naman.
bro...dagdag ka konti try monitor audio rs1 :)
Hi to everyone. I have a yamaha 2070 integrated amp which I'm intending to use for audio only. Can anyone suggest a speaker worth around 15k to 20k? I have also a small sub yamaha yst45 which I can use to augment the system. I already tried the MAb4, MShort and the AE Evo but was not satisfied. When I asked an audio store regarding the B&W601 or 602, I was quite surprised to hear that yamahas are not generally compatible with B&Ws and that B&Ws are better paired with Onkyos. Is the guy giving a valid observation or information? My HT is composed of a yamaha rvx800 receiver, B&W DM620 floorstanders, B&W 303 rears, Canton center and velo cht 10r. Thanks for any related feedback.
Onkyo and B&W have the same distributor if I recall correctly. It may be a sales pitch but then again, it might be the case.wow...so you're saying me Rotel and B&W should go to bed together...interesting proposition.......... ;D ;D ;D hmmmm
My experience with Yamaha is that you need to use easy to drive speakers for their low to mid models. Harder to drive speakers like B&W and Dynaudio dont match that well with Yamahas (except maybe Yamaha's high-end models), in my friend's case Dyns and Yamaha 1300. I heard Rotels pair well with B&W's cuz its what the B&W factory uses to drive their units.
wow...so you're saying me Rotel and B&W should go to bed together...interesting proposition.......... ;D ;D ;D hmmmm
Actually they bed together in England. ;D Rotel is the official amplifier of B&W.::) ::) hehe....sars

Actually they bed together in England. ;D Rotel is the official amplifier of B&W. Every inch British. ;D
How many inches? ;D
Threesome, Hmmm. ;D. buti na lang, I used the term "pair" with amps. Di ko pa ginamit yung "mate" w/ amps.
Bro, your B&W + Denon Bi-amp combo already sounds great. No need for SARS!
Cardinal,
Munskie would be qualified to answer you. He has an Onkyo (with Mission) in his bedroom and B&W in his HT room. When we visited him in AC last week, he said that his higher model Denon did a better job in powering his Mission speakers OR B&W speakers (bi-amped) than his older Onkyo AVR (I duno what model). He also has a Yamaha pro logic amp. :)
munskie Rotel-B&w vice versa yung official support nila as in 2-way sya69 ,rotel official amp of B&W, while B&W official speakers of rotel,atleast thats what i remembered bote telling me before ;D Kaya bote used to tease me na nagkabaliktad kami kasi dapat denon-jbl and rotel-B&W ;D pero after hearing your denon-b&w set-up wow na din :o ;DThanks ricky....ill be working this weekend to try different surround combos (either mission or B&W).....ill also definitely move the surround stands to accomodate additional seating....if ever ill allow threesome with Rotel is when I move to bigger HT room....which is very remote in possibility for now.. ;D ;D

guys, pa-comment naman bout sa binili kong receiver na sansui rz-6880av. balak ko sanang parisan ng mission m30 for surround tapos for front speaker niya is Infinity Primus 300 3WAY dual na floorstanding and yung center speaker niya is wharfedale diamond 9. compatible ba sila? tsaka pa-advice naman kung anong subwoofer na pwedeng isali.
newbie here kasi eh.
Di ko kabisado amp mo, pero generally, dapat same series ang fronts and center mo. Surrounds are not that critical.matt...thank you... ;D ;D
matt...thank you... ;D ;D
matt hindi ba critical? kaya pala nag upgrade ka ;D ;D ;D munskie naniwala ka naman ;D hindi critical to buy agad pero need to buy later on pa din na same series ;)kala ko nakalusot na ako..hehehe ;D ;D
Am leaning towards Wharfedale diamond series 5.1 (9.5, 9dfs, 9cs, sw150) and maybe yamaha rxv557. I would want to buy a system that I will not need to upgrade in a long while without straying away too much of the wharfedale prices. Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!
Thanks matzter! Just a thought, I actually have an existing TV cabinet that can accomodate bookshelf speakers. Would it be wise to just buy higher end bookskelf speakers such as B&W, Paradigm or the like instead of the cheaper but more powerful towers? Thanks again!
thanks. I might go for B&W 602 s3, lcr60, 600. what is the most affordable receiver you can recommend?can't it run on yamaha 657 or 659? Thanks.
where rin ako pwede makabili nyan? saang stores? tnx!
hello guys,
what's the ideal speaker for the yamahas, denons, marantzs and rotels?
thanks!
anong best buy 5.1ch and 6.1ch speaker package pang budget set up?
For me, the best ang Infinity Beta HCS 5.1 speaker system @P35k SRP. They sounded like floorstanders kahit small bookshelf speakers lang sila (using the HK630).
Ang problema lang, dapat at least HK335 yung receiver mo, medyo mahal. Manipis sya tumunog sa HK235.
yung pang beginner setup lang sana 10k-12k lang po ang budget kahit wala pa kasamang subs.
yung pang beginner setup lang sana 10k-12k lang po ang budget kahit wala pa kasamang subs.
Mga sir anong speaker ang me 90 up db using 80 watts denon reciever planning to buy someday
kung me budge na...
mga bosing tanong ko lang po kung sakali mag setup ako ng pang home theater ano po ba ang ma recommend nyo na subwoofer na di gaano kamahalan pero quality performance naman kahit mga 20K.
when buying speakers, is it ok if your amp is more powerful than your speakers? let's say your amp is rated 120 watts rms@6 ohms, and the speaker your're gona use is only 100 watts rms@ 6 ohms.
:) question lang po ok po ba B&W ASW 600 Sub? tnx
That's what I am using at the moment. It's a sealed sub - my preference for tight musical bass. Doesn't have the slam of most ported designs but is room shaking enough for me.
hello guys,
please recommend the most neutal-sounding loudspeakers, for music, available locally, thanks.

IMHO, I (take note, its my personal opinion) never found Yamaha speakers impressive even when I was a newbie. I was auditioning their piano finish NSP555 (I think) floorstanders and it just didnt have anything special except the attractive piano finish.
Nalungkot din ako dto, kasi napaka pogi ng speakers na to..buti na lang di ito ang nabili ko.

Hi! How would a DynaAudio SUB 500 do with a Velodyne CH12-R? Which is better guys? T.I.A.
a very satisfying xx0k setup is most welcome sir matz!
I just observed before:
Many entry level speakers have higher sensitvities while most mid end models have lower. It seemed contradicting that the more expensive models are harder to drive.
@munchkie
hmmm interesting nga e lalu pong tumatagal lalu akong nahihirapan mg decide sa dami ng magagandang suggestions nyu. ;) so sa ngayn ang sure lang tlga so far is Panasonic AE900. Im looking forward for an audition of B&W + Rotel combo by end of the week sana ito na nga! and yet here comes JBL studio L series I heard maganda din daw tlga ito for HT pwede din ito unahin ko for audition, oh my bka kung sinu nlang mauna mgpatulo ng laway ko during audition bka yun nlng cguru para tapus na! ;D ;D
Not contradicting. Affirming you mean. The lower the sensitivities in more expensive speakers, the harder to drive.
hi, some of my choices r:
b&w 603 s3 - will buy it 2nd hand, but heard that this will sound bright
paradigm monitor 7 - a little less expensive
jm lab chorus 714 - ???
dali ikon 6 - a bit expensive
please give me some advice on what speaker to pair with this receiver, thanks!
okay I was able to audition JBL studio L series with M&K 12" Sub and HK DPR 2005 7.1 AMP using HK DVD 47 in megamall. Sound was awesome! Almost tempted to buy it, luckily i was able to hold back myself. ;D RM auditioned it using 0db/channel, -17db volume and 80hz crossover using only an ordinary AWG # 16 wire and played it direct to the plug. This is my second time of audtion, the latter was DynaAudio from listening and style. And i must say i got a better HT experience from JBL studio L than dynes audience 72" using yammy receiver. Then on wednesday ill try to audition B&W of sonny tuazon or the one at west ave. or sa timog area. puro B&W and panny ae900 sellers ksi itong tatlo e. Don't know bout where to audition mission speakers though maybe sonny got this too, ill check it out..
In conclusion, Cguru dynes will be out of my list for good, a very high cost and very demanding speaker is a bad idea for me.. Since lapa ko idea bout mission. I have to say.. it's a battle between JBL Studio L series and B&W 600 Series! ;D And the answer will be revealed before the end of the week. BTW, Parecommend namn ako ng very nice AVR and DVD player na excellent sounding with JBL studio L series. ksi alam ko sa B&W, Rotel would be the best ksi karamihan sa forum ganun e. And nga pala What if you use 90% of the speaker for HT do you think using separates would be a good idea or not very practical na?.. would it be wise to just buy a single but a very very compatible excellent sounding 7.1 AVR? hmm and what would that be?... Thanks in advance Sorry gulo isip ko kakagigil and kakaexcite pala itong hobby nato yun nga lng SARS tlga sakit! ;D ;D
As for dvd player check out the PIONEER 696 or the TOSHIBA A1 playerOT, help lang...if you get the tosh hd-a1, remember, it only plays region 1 DVDs. but if i am in your situation and have budget for a dvdp...ill get na the Tosh.

In fairness, also put into consideration that the Yamaha you auditioned at LIS might not be in the same class as the higher end & way more powerful DPR2005. Who knows, the DPR 2005 might drive the dynes well ???

Mate i would suggest that you audition the B&Ws using the same AVR you used with the JBLs para you'll hear the difference ;) . And for AVR best na yung HARMAN for the JBL(they balance out each other ;)). Buying the AVR is more practical (cost wise) than getting the SEPARATES(price diff between the two gears is around 90t :o) And dont worry about getting the AVR first since in the future you can still add an external power amp(which im very sure you will ;D) to complement with your AVR ;) For your room size better yung 7.1 set-up(thats why cheaper to get the AVR na lang) and a 15" sub. do not get a 12" sub kasi im sure kakapusin yon sa room size mo :D As for dvd player check out the PIONEER 696 or the TOSHIBA A1 player. Still nothing beats the SEPARATES route esp if you're planning to hold on to your system for a very long time ;) Rotel value for money and performance,good resale value pa ha ha ha
@matzter
thank you mate, you're the ist one to comment about HK DPr 2005, ive asked many already and they don't know bout this AVR.. yes when i audtioned it along with JBL studio L, it sounded fantastic. But actually the price is not 60K+ but 88K to be exact, im sure i can get a little discount on actual transaction though. i hope you would comment more on this receivers capabilities, maybe you've heard this in audtion too, i hope so, because according to RM this is second to their top of the line which is priced 120k already.. but when compared it with other Receivers like rotel 1068 and denon 3086 specifications in their respective websites. the HK DPR 2005 got smoked way too bad.. so i do hope to hear from this receiver more..
Update......
Knina i was able to audtion B&W at pro laser, arnel was there and yeah he is very accomodating, I immediately went to munchkies recommendation of B&W 600s3 series setup only difference was the subwoofer, no velodynes available so i just listend with B&W 8" sub as well, and the receiver used was onkyo. Sound was warm and good as well. I requested for rotels but wasn't available sayang. After an hour of listening and watching i still prefer JBL studio L, i gues i should have listened with it together with the rotel setup bka iba nmn ang result..
After the pro laser, i immediately went to Sonny tuazon's SGT home theater shop. Unfortunately again their was no rotel setup availble to be auditioned and the, much worst is that wala din availble B&W 600s3 series except for 601 or 600 i think and then wala din si sonny tuazon at that time, But that's my fault ksi i should have called before going there. Anyway, his son butch is very accomodating too. We just chat and chat about the quality of speakers i would be gettng, room treatment etc. etc.., sayang lang tlga there's no actual demo.
@ET414
Thanks for the clarification about rotel pero up until now nalilito padin tlga ako.hahah
@ricky
aw antakit pala mg rotel kung ganyan setup 1068,1075,1070 combinations. bukod sa mahal na e anhirap pa ata isetup tlga nyn. anggulo ata for a newbie like me. ;D
@matzter
mate i can say, mganda din tlga ang DPR 2005, although sabi ni arnel Digital path receiver daw is more prone from being "matinis" because of it's direct digital to digital path nature.. i don't know bout this but when i listened it together with JBL studio L. Ok nmn ang "tinis" nya it's just right. nga pala medyo less heat pa pala pag digital receiver ang gamit. it's a nice feature for me since medyo mainit ng konte sa province khit nka aircon tlga.
So matt same lang pala yung harman and denon,both rated at 70wpc all channels driven :) Really hard to decide between the hk635/640/645 (70wpc) vs hk dpr2005(120wpc) with less than 28t price difference ???
digital amps aside from producing less heat,also consumes less electricity ;) but durability concerning elec fluctuations and owner abuse is still a question ::) :)
No, Harman is @ 75wpc. the 5wpc is a big deal sa "conservative" all channels driven rating.
I would recommend the DPR2005 receiver to expenz for ease of use and practicality. Agree ako kay ET, better na ang receiver kay expenz. Also, the Rotel 7x100 digital amp is already at P120+k! amp pa lang yon, wala pang pre/pro. Eto 7x120w.
Wala pa naman bad reviews sa net about this.... so we cant assume the worst yet. :)
Aw thanks mate MAtzter and of course ricky!
Im happy the HK DPR 2005 is actually getting a look from both of the top HT GURUS here in PDVD. I'm also very happy to see that this HK DPR 2005 have attained several awards recently when i scanned the HK site, which is good because it boosts more confidence for both of their followers and aspiring buyers like me as well.. :)
YEP, and the DPR is slim and KEWL looking too!
Looks is another criteria thats important to me, not just the sound. Parang sa pagpili ng babae, LOL ;D
Aw thanks mate MAtzter and of course ricky!

Big names like Rotel and Harman have been making digital receivers. Harman company also owns Madrigal, makers of the high end Proceed and Mark Levinson, also their other companies make Revel and Lexicon. And Rotel I heard, is under the B&W companies which also does Classe. I am sure they are not willing to stain their names for a product that they didnt research well.
And DPR 2005 is already 2nd gen for HK's digital amps. The first gen is DPR1001 circa 2003
Dpr 2005 is circa 2004 :) baka may new models coming out soon na since 2yrs na din since it was introduced ???
mga sir ask ko lang po kung anong match na floorstanding speaker for my yamaha rx-v457 avr... more on alternative & rock music po ako... salamat po....
I would like to thank everyone for patiently helping me with my current setup. Mabuhay kayo matzter, muchkie, ET414, sanmig.ph, Ashley & Ritchie of audible illusion,dieselsy, and specially Ricky! kaya masarap mgstay ditu sa pinoydvd because of guys like you! Thank you all very muchh guys! after ko tapusin ang room treatment i will surely post some pics here. Sana maging maganda ang design ng room treatment para di nakakahiya. ;D btw, i love your HT rooms mate ricky,matz and munchkie! ;)
@ Ric999
Thanks mate! tlgang excited na kming lahat ditu, sayng lang because of the typhoon lalung nadelay ang set up, imagine after 3days ngayn lng ngkakuryente samin. anyway, i'm still waiting for the refund which is scheduled to be released within this week, after that i could get the rotel 1068 na. Then we can finalize the setup. yun nlng ksi hinihintay. Well, regarding sa pictures, ill be posting some pics pag na setup na, cguro as long as anditu pako sa manila there is a big probability na maririning ng ating kapwa PDVD members na gusto makarinig like you ang setup ko which you all help me built. syempre all of you are welcome! ;)
Why not a Rotel RSX 1056 receiver to bi-amp with your 1075? Its 5x75w but with a power amp, you can bi-amp all 5 channels or use its expandable 7.1 capability in the future. Its just me, but I would choose more power from a bi-amped receiver+amp @ 200w than a pre pro w/ 120w, since your speakers are multi-drivered & probable harder to drive.
Just my 2 cents.
http://europe.rotel.com/products/specs/rsx1056.htm
Pare with the 1068 pwedeng pwede pa din naman si ryan mag bi-amp eh ;) actually muntik na sya kumuha ng 1070 or 1080 for that purpose :o :o napigilan ko lang ;D With the 1068,in case he wants to upgrade the sound,all he has to do is to add more-upgrade the amp section, 1066(3x130w),1070,1080,1095,1077 0r another 1075 ;D endless possibilities
Mga gurus ano po ba ma recommend nyo na speaker na 89 db ang sensitivity pls help me plan to use for 2 channel lang for music lang pag po ba reciever ay 80 for 5 channel sa 2 channel ba ilang watts lalabas..
mga sir, i'm planning to replace my wharfe 8.4 setup to a different brand. any suggestions? my budget is about 23-25k lang pero complete setup na with center and surround. posible ba ako mag mission or b&w na floorstander for tha budget? or hindi kaya? match ba sya sa yammy 650? i'm thinking of getting a m73i or m74i. which is better from the two models? considering na meron na ako sub.
Having said that, pls take note that many speakers locally available that are more expensive than the wharfedale actually belong in the same price points in Europe, US and online. Wharfes of the same model are cheap locally, but not overseas, simply be accident of cheaper importation costs from China. I personally wouldn't buy into a speaker set that is locally more expensive than what I already own but is actually in the same price performance league on the net and elsewhere. You could think you're upgrading, but you could just be going sideways.
I hate to say it, but in general, with few exceptions, if you're looking at any real advantage in upgrading your wharfe, I would say that getting one in the 50T price point or at least three times what your current speakers cost locally should have palpable improvements in real terms, not just a difference in sonic timber qualities If you remain in the same price point, you could just be going in circles with speakers with different sonic timbre qualities, never really going up to better sonics in real terms (i.e, dispersion trait, diffraction qualities, harmonic distortion, frequency response linearity, break-up points, time and phase alignment, to mention some).
Your 25T budget might buy you a speaker set with just a different sonic character, not necessarily better in real terms, but it could be better on subjective terms. I could advice you to let your ears decide. But based on my experience, speakers in showrooms always sounded better than what I have, especially those with higher price tags. ;D If you want, your 25T can buy some really good stereo pair, then save up some more for the center and the surrounds later. Just my 2 cents.
mga sir, thanks for the adviced. tama po ba pag kaka intindi ko. mission m74i will not give me a significant upgrade from wharfe 8.4? will this just be a sideway upgrade? what about a mission m33i or m34i, will this give me a signifucant upgrade? and onething more, bibitayin na ako ng wife ko if i buy a speaker worth 50k :o ::). Hehehe. sorry masyado matanong. newbie pa kasi.
a friend told me he heard a 8.4 being powered by a Rotel power amp and he was astounded by the sound of the wharfes w/c he underestimated a lot. Maybe a power amp can be a worthy upgrade for you instead of a speaker upgrade. Both speaker and amps contribute to the SQ. the good thing about power amps is that its a one time investment, even after you change so many speakers & receivers you can still use the same power amp for many years.
Read this article about pre outs (http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=50034.28)
If you ask me, I think that a good power amp + wharfe 8.4 will sound better than just missions on a receiver, based on this article.
********************
Re Wharfe/Missions I dont think there would be a big significant improvement. Many former Wharfe users who went to entry level missions say that they liked the missions more. But the degree of significance is the question. But if you are looking for a significant change, the mid levels will be more :o :o :o than another entry level again.
But that still depends on your ears..and pocket of course. The best way is still to audition. If you are afraid you will have psychological bias on the recommended speakers, ask the store to let you audition these side by side.. AND NOT tell you which speaker is sounding. This way you will know w/c sounds best.
sir matz. if i were to consider using a power amp, i won't be disposing my wharfe. what brand will you recommend and how much will it cost? my budject would just be around 10-15k
You cant go wrong price/performance wise w/ Rotels and NADs. But they might cost a bit more, even if its pre owned.
But there are still lots of these good power amps in the B/S section.

Hi to all,
Im planning to have my setup replace(to those interested im selling it as package) which I use for 50% HT and 50% Audio.
It consist of HK235, B&W 602S3 and LCR60 and Klipsch RW-10.
Now I want to build a new setup for 40% HT and 60% Audio.
Or maybe 30/70 basta lamang audio listening.
Napansin ko kasi hindi naman lahat ng pinapanood ko have LFE's kaya Im concentrating more into good audio setup.
I would like to ask what speakers would I upgrade to and what receiver would I match it with.
All suggestions are very much appreciated.
TIA.
Personally, getting a more beefy and finer stereo power amp is a definite upgrade. If your AVR has pre-outs, this can serve as your pre-amp which many audiophiles do to mate with an external power amp to upgrade in terms of higher power, better noise floor, frequency response, THD and damping factor. For stereo music, this should give audible improvements. Check out the Rotel RMB stereo power amp series. Or their 5-channel amps.
hi there:)
i am new to this hobby and currently looking for my first pair of audio-only stereo speakers.
i am currently looking at the dynaudio focus 140 priced at less than 60k. heard it at listening in style connected to a meridian G06 and a T&A amp/pre-amp combo.
can anyone tell me what are my other choises for the speakers and also, if what i heard in listening in style is too good of a source that it makes the speakers sound better than what i can hear elsewhere??

Maybe I'm just upgrading for upgrading's sake or just curious what's an upgraded system would sound.
Budget would be 100K I just don't know if this would be enough.
newbie,Thats what I have in mind right now.
why replace everything at once? it seems to me like you have'nt fully maximized the potential of your speakers. why don't you try adding a power amp first? you're going to need a power amp anyway if you plan on upgrading your speakers. the next step would probably be to replace your receiver w/ a dedicated pre/pro but i would suggest waiting a few months until the next generation pre/pros come out. just my 2 cents :)
In a home theater and audio set-up, what component is the most important/crucial in achieving audio nirvana?
MATZTER,
If room acoustics account for 50% of the sound, therefore, AVRs with built-in room eq is a helpful tool. What AVR models currently out in the marketthat has the most effective room eq? RX-V659 or AVR2106?
What brands are these bright-sounding speakers and amps?
Which will give the most sonic benefits, bi-wiring or bi-amping?
IF I chose to use the rx-v657/9 or avr 19/2106 does this mean that I have to use an entry-level speakers?
Before, I want to have a separate ht and audio set-up, however I found it to be expensive. However, I opted to buy a receiver with pre-outs so I can connect a dedicated stereo power amp for stereo listening.
matzter,
what's the ideal speaker (ht & audio) for denon avr2805? It has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. I was keen on acquiring the diamond 9s, however they have a 6-ohm rating. I am planning to use simultaneously the AVR's A and B speakers for bi-amping.
Can the amp be also used as karaoke amplifier since it is rated at 100 watts per channel?
Its just me (my 2 cents), but I recommend at least mid level gears (& up) for mid level speakers. I have heard a P9,000 Q acoustics 1010 speakers driven by a P136,000 Manly Stingray during the HiFi show and my do they sound good. I have tried a top mid end (ML) receiver w/ entry level (EL) & ML floorstanders (and also EL 5.1 spkr system). Also experienced using EL AVR with EL & ML floorstanders & also bookshelves.i strongly agree..the Q speakers impressed me more than the other insanely expensive speakers over at the show. i dont think its not about the manley or the cary but the Q speaker itself. made me thought of replacing my speakers for a while :)
My conclusion, the key is to match your speaker with gears of the same level or higher not lower. And lets face it, the higher quality ML's were made for users who have graduated from entry levels w/ a more discerning ear or simply have the funds to get a better sounding setup. If you have allotted funds for a ML speaker (w/ the reasons just stated), why compromise on the electronics? You just might not hear your speaker's full potential. :-[
just my 2 cents.

The 2805 has preouts, how can I bi-amp my front speakers?
Will I hear significant sound improvement once the front speakers are bi-amped?
anong speaker kaya yung naka display sa SPECTRA? nakalimutan ko yung brand eh. color brown, yun ba yung epos?sir
anong alternative natin sa bose acoustimass na cube like speakers?
do other brands have these already and where are they purchased locally?
thanks
need it for a new LCD wall mounted display of my aunt
gusto nya yung malinis eh
thanks for ur comment & input sir matzter!
btw, have u auditioned a klipsch synergy sub?
i listened to 1 in spectra & loved what i heard! ;D
but i think i must audition velodynes muna before
passing the judgement....
ps:
cant say im immune to SARS!!!
hehehehehe......

hehehehehe......
or you can even try the Daichi speaker... Try their new series, i'm a DTX series proud user din kasi, for me they're also a perfect match, just my 2 cents ;)
Try to Audition na rin muna para no regrets Bro :)

tnx in advance
sir, anong Front/Rear speakers gamit mo?
Hi guys. Have been lurking here for quite I while. I really get a lots of ideas from reading post of members.
Anyway, I will be setting up a home theater system when I go home this Aug. Small room only, I think 3x6m.
I have a Denon 1507 which I will hook up to my Hitachi TX200 projector and maybe to an LCD tv that im planning to purchase.
My problem is the speaker system to match it. I intend it mostly for watching movies and maybe for music listening from time to time.
i have scouted the stores here and have found this speakers systems:
Marantz LS600
Denon SYS-905ht
Infinity Primus 250 + surround/center
Basically, all systems are in the same price range (about P19K at present currency conversion) but the Marantz has an extra subwoofer.
What do you think will match best to the Denon receiver?
Or is there a speaker system that you can suggest.
Need your insight.
Thank you very much.
Good day po sa inyong lahat. Gusto ko lang po humingi ng suggestion sa inyo regarding speaker kc im planning to setup an ht. napili ko kc yung HK AVR 245.My budget would be 20K for fronts muna. this would be paired with velodyne cht-10r.pwede po ba makahingi ng particuar model. thanks in advance.
im not an expert, but based on what i've been getting from our gurus here, the best suggestion is to audition it together with your amp. you can try to bring your AVR to the store or something so you can audition. that's what i did when i bought my 1st pair of speakers. hope this helps... :)
Yup. Am using HK AVR340 + Dali Concept 1 for back and side Surrounds, Dali Concept 6 for fronts, Dali Concept center and Dali Concept subs. All from Archi Audio.
I like what I hear....and hoping the uprade bug won't bite me. always spraying baygon in my TV room he!he!
Thanks Sir! Nag "listening " naman ako sa Archi non may dala ako 3 cd for testing. HK na 100 series pa nga lang avr noon sa demo.
I liked what I heard and placed an order immediately. The best thing is, when I finished setting-up at home and listened to my cds, detail was so much better when I first heard it in Archi. In short, mas maganda tunog sa TV room ko kesa store he!he! (lucky me ;D ;D)
(might be that HK 340 also has a lot more ooomh than 100series also he!he!)
Budget 50-60K
B/new or Pre-owned
hello, im new in the sounds, speakers. This may be discussed na before sorry..May I just ask lang how much is the cheapest B&W speakers (floorstander and bookshelf, center). What is the diff between floorstanders vs. bookshelf? Thanks very much
Budget 50-60Khi bro! i guess we hev the same problem facing ryt now.. im planning to upgrade my b&w 602 s3 with a new pair of bookshelf speaker. actually my first pick is the focus 140 of dynaudio.. but im worried if my amp can drive the dynes! btw, my (tube) amp is a jd801a of jolida, also rated @ 70wpc. pakibalitaan mo ko bro ha...
B/new or Pre-owned
hi guys!
aside from b&w, what could be paired with the 1075? it will be used for music only. currently, i'm using a paradigm monitor 7 paired with the yamaha rxv2095 (used as pre amp) + the rotel. i'm happy with the digms actually but only for ht. i feel (is hear the better word? ;D) that something is lacking with the m7 when used for audio. at rotel's site, i see that they use b&w, but i'd rather ask first before indulging!
thanks for any feedback!

anything except mission speakers, wlang after sales support yung dating local distributor dito >:( na si melvin.......maiinis ka lang, ??? and ang daming problema pa yung speakers nila! just a friendly reminder.
Better yung hindi china made din, cguro yung european made or america or canada lahat should be ok.
Better yung hindi china made din, cguro yung european made or america or canada lahat should be ok.
Perhaps B&W are enjoying higher mark up with its speaker line made in China and no price changes for the consumers.
mukhang malaki sama ng loob sa mga intsik ah.
Not at all. Sorry OT, I'm not Fil-Chinese but I admire Fil-Chinese very much because they are very hard working and business driven people. When the Europeans were still living in caves, the Chinese already had houses. 85% of millionaires/billionaires in the Philippines are either Chinese or of Chinese descent. The bad quality products you hear about from China are produced by bad businessmen. Kahit saan lugar may masamang tao.
MatZer is a good businessman because he sells good quality products from China. :)
nice to hear that Lance, I was actually reffering to matt matt. due to his double tirades in diff threads.
chief,yes, dcm ni melvin dyan sa cubao, pag lampas ka sa warranty, even if factory defect admitted by mission of UK sori ka na lang....tapos ang mahal pa ng singil niya, kasi papagawa niya sa iba....so double whammy ??? ::) in short walang paki and bahala ka sa buhay MO!! so avoid mission!.....ang daming pagpipilian diyan.... >:(
Sa DCM audio ba to? You mean they dont have after sales support? Meron din kaya silang sub-distributor, if ever, wala rin after sales service. Would you share your experience?
salamat po
are you looking for just one pair for pure audio use or a set for home theater? if for HT is your avr 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1? what is your avr/wattage? if for audio what kind of amp do you have?

Here's my plan to buy and set up my HT:
front - Whardale Diamond 9.6
rear - Diamond 9.dfs
centre - Diamond 9.cs
AMP - Yahama RX-V661
Sub - Velodyne
Please comment to my set up, can this be blend for DVD movies & Audio Clarity? I checked to Listening room in glorietta they give me small discount, Any store recommended for lowest price in Makati area. Thanks
Diamonds are a good speakers for entry level HT setup. Also the overall quality of your setup will also depend on your amp/av receiver , source and interconnects. Your room also plays an important part in the overall acoustical quality. The 9.6 may be too much for a small room and you can save more money by getting a 9.5 or 9.2 fronts (if you have a small room).
For pure audio i personally find that the diamonds lack detail and resolution...
if wharfs are good for entry level HT setups what would be a good speaker system for mid-range HT setups?
i'm saving for an mid-range receiver kasi like denon 2308 or onkyo 605/705? not sure kasi if i will consider HK 337 wala pa daw dito sa pinas and sobra mahal mid range yamaha ung 1800 ata pinaka lowest model na may pre-outs.
additional question lang po. kung sakali po ba makaipon ako to afford a brand new mid-level receiver ma achieve ko pa din ang surround sound kahit na install ko siya sa maliit na room. presently kasi maliit lang room ko 2.5x2.5 meters but i'll be moving to a bigger room soon.

i'll be moving to a new place soon. it's roughly about 36 sq meters studio type po soon. kaya din po ako mejo undecided as to what speaker to buy baka kasi when i move to the new place soon e masayang ung bibilin ko ng speakers ngayon.
I see no problem using mid-level receiver in small rooms. You can just play in low volume levels if it gets too loud.
i saw a yamaha multimedia speaker set before that came with its own receiver module, including digital inputs. I think it retailed for 11k. saw this in gateway mid-last year but its no longer on display there. you might want to contact yupangco they could have pulled out the stocks because of low sales volume.
if its not available try to wait for hte buy and sell section and try to score a yamaha RX-V357; just confirm first though whether the PS3 games' sound format can be decoded by either of these.
Ang alam ko di naman critical masyado ang surround speakers. When I asked that specific question before sa mg A/V shops, sabi nila halos any will do 'coz konti lang naman daw ang pumupunta sa surround.
Kung gusto mo talaga match with same brand na 10k up - get MA BR2 at may available pa ata sa SGT ;)
bro try mo Dali Concept 1 for surrounds. mura lang yan alam ko less than 10K a pair. kahit gamitin mo for music decent na. Architectural Audio and distributor/seller sa Phil.

good day PDVDers..im newbie here.
im planning to set up 50/50 audio/ht this april with only P60k budget for AVR, sub, fronts and center. i will use my old speaker for rear muna. can someone recommend me what to buy? and i also have Cloud 6 channel power amp,dunno if i can use it.thanks in advance..
I know sir.
Peace, I am merely addressing the 2nd part of your statement for the sake of the newbie.
The premise is that even if the newbie buys the M52's, the remaining budget from the 60k will cripple him from getting the best matching receiver possible to get the best out of his system.
No ill intentions here. I am an M52 user/fan myself. :)
For 60k, try getting the Denon 1907 (Or Onkyo 604 , but it doesnt have pre outs) plus wharfe bookshelf, center bipole & a good sub, maybe a Velodyne CHT-10r.
sir MAtZTER,
what specific wharfe model ang magandang combination? i will get denon 1907 na siguro and velodyne sub..
sir to complete the line up..
amp-denon 1907
sub- velodyne cht-10r
fronts- wharf 9.1
center--??
surrounds??
sir,
mas ok ba performance ng 9.1 kesa sa 9.4?
9.1 + speaker stand = 7k
9.4 =9.5k
add na lang ako ng konti for the 9.4. is this advisable?
iL be getting an Atlantic Technology 2200 SR for my rears today. Its a dipole/dipole type. But it costs about the same price of my Monitor Audios fronts and center combined. Ok lang kaya ito? Subwoofer ko naman AT din eh. hehe.

you mean mas mahal pa rears mo kaysa main speakers mo?hmmm.. ::) ???
Normally I would spend more money on the fronts...Why not buy better fronts and move your MA to the rears ;D

May nakapagsabi sa akin na floorstanders daw more of pang-music. Bookshelf more of pang-movie na 'pwede na' for music. Tama ba, mga guru? If so, then I guess, since 50/50 ka, go with the 9.1.

My worry about this is baka matabunan ng surrounds mo yung fronts and center especially on those scenes na halos nagsasabay-sabay na ang mga tunog. Just always remember these things in buying speakers for HT...
1. Perfectly matched - same brand, same impedance (ohms), same wattage
2. Almost perfectly matched ;D - same impedance (ohms)
Hope this helps bro :)
Btw, Nice meeting you nga pala yesterday at watt hi-fi bro lancito ;)
everything starts with this.
Hi Reynold. Nice meeting you too pare. :) My MA's are 6Ohms and the AT is 8ohms. Baka magka problem nga.
Yup, there's a thread here before about speaker's sensitivity and it's effect on your receiver, di ko lang mahanap... basta it's all about the heat issues of the receivers caused by some speakers with low impedance or set-ups with different impedance. I hope someone in this thread can technically explain this para sa ating mga hindi masyadong techie :)
Anyway, too much heat can damage your receiver bro, better safe than sorry :)
But for me, nothing beats a good powered sub. Thats why at the very least, if I had 60k budget and start my HT all over again. I will prioritize my sub, then get BS (instead of a FS) then the cheapest AVR with pre-outs I could get for future power amps.
Hi sir Matzter,
Please share your experience..... ;) Does this mean to save money, I should buy a good powered sub rather than those "budget" sub? I believe you tried those "budget" sub too, which of those you liked best?
If I may answer, I think what matz is saying is instead of spending more money in buying a floorstanding speaker, you should just get a bookshelf (preferably a good one with atleast a min of 6" woofer) and used the difference in cost(savings) for getting a powered sub whether it being a mid level or a budget sub. In ht, speakers having woofers not bigger than 8" will just be set to small anyways(avr speaker setting).And even if your main speakers has 8"woofers it would still not be better compared to subs having a 10" or 12" or more so 15" woofers esp in demanding explosion scenes.
Hirap talaga mag decide mga bros,But lesson I learned from this hobby is integrating your audio and video set-up sometimes is more costly than having separate set-ups for both needs. With separate set-ups you dont even need to compromise on qualities you'll need for each application :) If you are more into audio,try to have a set-up that will excel in audio, but if you're more into movies then I guess its only logical to have a set-up that will really please you everytime you watch a movie ;) Ngayon ang problem is kung 50-50 na ;D ;D ;D
The idea is to have 5 matching size speakers for HT, for seamless panning. It is the ideal.
See HT magazines installed by pro installers, they use bookshelf size/type speakers of identical sizes for all 5-7 speakers.
You are going to set it to SMALL setting on your receiver anyway, unless you have a 200w power amp (for clean power) and want to set your floorstanders to LARGE to rely on it for bass.
But for me, nothing beats a good powered sub. Thats why at the very least, if I had 60k budget and start my HT all over again. I will prioritize my sub, then get BS (instead of a FS) then the cheapest AVR with pre-outs I could get for future power amps.
Oh, and I will also follow Philjonc's advice to look at the B/sell section. 60k will go a long way if you dont mind pre-owned items.
Hi Sir Ricky, Thank you for taking time to answer my inquiry.
Does this mean, in a sub-world, bigger is also better, given that specs are equivalent? I may be pushing my luck here but, that's my main concern. Those sub are so d**m big that it looks like a personal ref. Isn't there a good sub that's small?.......and cheap? :D
I've been thinking about that too. Is that the reason most 7.1 A/V receivers have a speaker-A and speaker-B for fronts? Using 2-channels of speaker-B for floorstanders for audio and 5.1 for movies? Tama po ba? ???

From what I know, receivers heat up when impedance is 4 ohms and below. Receivers are made to drive 6 ohms and 8 ohms sensitivity. Pero para mas timbre match, il just go with MA rears pag available na. Naubusan kasi ako eh. Tnx Reynold.

Lets try to be less techie below:
6 & 8 ohms are impedances. The lower the impedance, the higher the current you need, causing your receiver to heat up.
Receivers, with their limited space, limited heat dissipating capability & limited power supplies, cannot handle low impedances for long. At least, for the non 100+k flagship models.
Speaker's impedances are labeled "nominal" because that is not always their impedance, they dip a lot. Sometimes 4ohms or lower on demanding scenes or musical passages. A B&W speaker I researched lately dips down to 2.56 ohms!
Impedance mismatch is not really an issue as compared to timbre (pronounced "tam-ber") matching issue, w/c the audessy can now handle, but not 100% perfect of course.
Technically you can even use 4 ohm surrounds if your receiver is powerful enough, since surrounds dont sound off all the time.
I decided to replace my 5.1 speakers this year asap and was offered these set of B&W speakers. The price fits my budget but I was wondering if its worth every penny. Pls. feel free to comment or suggest other brands cz I want to have new set of speakers at least by next week. Thanks

Whats the price difference between the BW 800's and the 600's?
I believe a good power amp would do the job.
I am thinking of letting go of my 2-3 month old MA BR2 and BRLCR to upgrade to better speakers. I am thinking of better sounding bookshelf speakers both for audio and HT. Also considering durability since I want speakers for keeps. Budget would probably be around 70K. In my other thread, I said I like the EPOS M12.2 for my fronts but I don't think the center channel M8 is available locally. Any recommendations/suggestions? Thanks. Lance
You might want to consider dynaudio audience series :)
sir mas high-end dyns kaysa epos kaya di siguro apples to apples yun if compared. sonically, kailangan mo pakingan. A-B mo. Kung dyns just be prepared to invest sa high power tube amp para lumabas ang potential nya.
Sa tube at sa price point ng epos marami naman dyan options. try mo muna bago ka mag decide.
Anyway, i just got these set of B&W's. Hope it exceeds my expectations...
Fronts: B&W 683
Rears: B&W 686
Center: B&W HTM61
Subs: B&W ASW610
Non-flagship AV receivers are usually jack of all trades and cant compete with dedicated 2 channel setups made for music alone.
(http://www.soundgallery.co.uk/images/sketch/bowers%20805S%20white.jpg)
It's basically thrice as much. The cheapest 805 pictured above starts at £1600.00 new or about Php180T/pair locally presumably with taxes. But I think Sound Dimension has it cheaper, if they have stock. Alternately, there may be pre-owned ones at makati cinema square basement.
You're good with the Onkyo 604 because it can drive down to 3 ohms at 225watt momentarily. The BW speakers (whether 600, 700 or 800 series) are notorious for dipping that low at some frequencies below 200hz and many receivers just can't handle that well. ;D
Receivers are always jacks of all trades, whether entry or flagship. One is just a better jack than the other. ;D

Hi Sirs,
I've been reading posts here for a while now, ngayon lang ako nagka guts mag post.
I currently have Euros 6 (Daiichi, http://www.daiichi.ph/ht_spkrs.htm) fronts and center, a decent daiichi BP120 sub (http://www.daiichi.ph/ht_sub.htm), and Wharfedale WH2 surrounds. All being driver by a marantz sr4500 receiver.Quite entry level, I know, but they've served me well. :)
I'm now thinking of slowly upgrading the speakers, starting with the fronts. I'm considering getting a pair of diamond 8.4's (P6500 more or less), but I'm not sure if i need a floorstander anyway.
So, what can you recommend? Budget (sana) within 7k-8k lang. To be used for both HT and stereo audio (and hopefully soon for high def audio soundtracks), with the marantz sr4500. And maliit lang po yung room, around 20 sq m.
Thank you po!
im not sure if this is the right thread for my questionBose Companion 3
can you recommend a speaker for my PC? something not so expensive..
i had a chance to audition the "not so new" yamaha yst sw 1500 subwoofer ang lakas nya parang may hangin ng elec fan lumalabas sa kanya. ok ba ang brand na ito?
yung definitive technology supercube 3 ba ok din? any owners who can give feedback?
Hi Sirs,Dagdagan mo na lang go for Diamond 9 series.

any reco/inputs on a sub/sat 5.1 speakers for HT using a H/K avr would be appreciated...
small room kaya mas ok sana kung small speakers...
thanks...
- any inputs/recos for a sub/sat speaker setup for HT...in the price range of 20-30k...
- would get rid of my jurassic HT setup and magbalik loob sa HT...hehehe...
- small rooms kaya need small speakers...
- would be auditioning the jbl cinema two & mordaunt short alumni speakers...
- thanks...
I have a Yamaha RX-V361 on a bedroom setup (15sqr. meters). I want to upgrade my front speakers since I'm using my 18 yrs old Sony SS-D50 speakers as front, Pioneer S-X33V coaxial shielded center speaker (which is very good to my taste), and rear is Work Studio-2. I've just ordered a Polk Audio PSW110 and will be able to have it by Tuesday next week. With this setup, what's the recommended front speakers? I'll retain my SS-D50 (8" Woofer and metal dome tweeter) switching it to "B" and my new fronts will be for "A".
why don't you try orb audio? small speakers big sound. you're welcome to audition them. just send us an email at [email protected] or 0917-3273083. :)thanks for the reply & PM sir avshop...
We find Polk Audio RM-705 5.1 sub/sat HT speakers to be a good match with HK. This system generates powerful yet clean and deep bass. Its timbre matching speakers create coherent surround soundfield that will fill up the room with action.thanks for the reply sir...
We invite you to audition PolK Audio RM-705 at our showroom Sights and Sounds 4th level Shangri-La Plaza.
just auditioned these speakers yesterday @ rustans...
I think its on the 5th floor of Rustan's Makati. There is a HiFi shop there with Gallo.
Hi, I'm in the market for mid-end speakers for HT, budget P60-80T for 5 speakers only. Got Velo 12R sub.
Which speakers are the best match for mid-end Denon (waiting for 09 series-first choice) or Onkyo (waiting for 06 series) receivers? Will be using old Pioneer AV Receiver in the meantime.
I'm considering Paradigm monitor 7+atom and B&W 684 or 685, HTM61 and 686. Already auditioned Paradigm at Shang. Will schedule audition for B&W at SGT. Which one would you recommend? Are there any other better matched speakers out there which I should consider auditioning? Thanks guys...
Hello Sir, I wonder why you haven't tried B&W 684, HTM62 and 686 speakers at my other side store Sights and Sounds. We have B&W speakers that are hooked up ready for audition with the Onkyo and Denon receivers.
Try visit Sights and Sounds again for another audition. Look for my staff Jun, Arnold, or Paul for assistance.

I would like to hear your feedbacks on the following:
Jamo s606 hcs3
Mordaunt Short Avant Series (902 surrounds, 905 center, 906 fronts)
Wharfedale (9.5, 9DFS, 9CM)
Going to use it at 50/50 audio and HT. i am into classical music. Let us limit the choices of the speakers to the 3 brands and treat them as "shortlisted candidates" :) thanks in advance!
right now im limiting my choices to the 3 brands however a case in point if ever that i get to see a chance to audition and its on the same price level, i might include it on the list of choices.in the makati area i havent seen mission speakers around (parksquare 1, architectural audio, listen up).
any other store in makati area that sells mordaunt short avant series speakers?
@E-Reply
is the MV6 a floorstander?
do you also have wharfe and jamo in your store and audition them using a yamaha receiver and i will bring my cds and dvds?
sent you a message also for other fine details.
Good day to everyone. My nephew is looking for an entry level type of bookshelf speaker.What can you recommend to him taking into consideration his budget of P10T and his music range (Foo Fighters to Josh Groban)? TIA.
Perhaps, you may post the brand of amplifier and model, so that we may properly suggest you the speaker-amplifier matching.

hi sir vic,
thanks sa quote sa mission mv series. but when i went to their website, apparently they have the mv-ds which i think is for surrounds, which i think will be more suitably than the mv-2 and mv-4 i had you quoted me. do you have this? can i get a quote for cash and 12 months deferred? tia!
MV-DS is P9K at 12 months. Cash at P8100.
Oh I forgot about that. His amplifier is an old model Onkyo TX-DS575 bought from a friend.
He was contemplating about buying a 2nd hand pair of speakers but I told him that with the help of audio gurus here, he can get value for money brand-new bookshelf type speakers for his budget of P10T. Thanks again.

Gentlemen,

thanks sir! can i get all of those in sights&sounds? :)
sir how much for onkyo 606....

asked ang brothers at raon for 28k...
We have the whole set-up ready for your audition and purchase.
Come and enjoy the audition.
wow! thanks! ;D sir sino po ba pwde makausap sa S&S?
You may look for Jun, Paul or Arnold for assistance.
For budget, Mission MV series and Wharfedale Diamond series complement well with Onkyo and Denon.
For Mid, Klipsch RF series performs outstanding with the above recievers.
For high budget, Paradigm sings very well.
sir, which Mission MV speakers would go well with the Denon 1909? and how much would those be? i'm tempted to ask about the klipsch, but afraid of SARS! :D :D :D what's the difference anyway in quality between mission and klipsch? would it be a noticeable diff? thanks!
Brod Vic,
Do you have Jamo speakers, specifically the model S606-HCS3? I saw one at SM ACA and it sounds okay to me. Baka mas mura sa yo. TIA.
Can someone give a review on Paradigm speakers? I was considering whether to get B&W or Paradigm speakers for the front and center...
TIA
@Milken...bro I am planning to pair it with denon 1909...B&W 684 or Paradigm's Monitor 9...
*********************************************
Can someone give a review on Paradigm speakers? I was considering whether to get B&W or Paradigm speakers for the front and center...
TIA
Which particular model are you considering? B&W and Paradigm have lots of speakers to choose from. And what receiver would you plan to pair it up with?
*********************************************
what's a good speaker system for the YAMAHA 633 receiver? Be using them sa Condo ko lang - -living room area. how much din if ever. thanks
You need warm sounding speakers for Yamaha front sounding receivers.
If you are on the budget, you may consider Wharfedale: bookshelf 9.1 Front, 9cs center, 9dfs surround, and SW150 powered sub. If you can extend your budget, you may consider B&W: 685 Front, HTM62 center, 686 rear, ASW608 powered sub.
Sir how much for this set : Wharfedale: bookshelf 9.1 Front, 9cs center, 9dfs surround, and SW150 powered sub
i'm a freshman to this site .i just wu'd like to have the others opinion of my initial set up HT.
what wu'd be the best combination of speaker for the ff:
yamaha rxv620a av
yamaha cd player cdx-620
dvd pioneer dv533k
sony trinitron 29 semi flat screen
What brand of speaker cables to match with the mission mv series and denon receiver? what cable can tame the treble of the missions?
sir how much for the denon 1909..what speaker can best match this receiver?on a budget din..can't afford those high end speakers
if on a budget, you can't go wrong with the wharfedale diamond 9 series. very affordable. and good audio quality. can sell you the wharfs and the denon. pm me if interested. :)
which bookshelf speaker pair would be best suited to be an all-rounder with different music genres?
Paradigm Atom Monitor
Polk Audio RTi A1
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1

With 14 wpc, look for speakers with high sensitivity then select which one sounds best to you.
how high is "high sensitivity"? say 89db? :)
how much is your budget sir?
here are some good options to choose from
-usher dancer BE718
-VSA VR-1
-LSA LSA1
-totem acoustics rainmaker
-vienna acoustics haydn
-monitor audio GS10
-proac response 1SC
if youll be starting from scratch, any1 from this list would be a winner.
if you already have the amp, just audition which 1 would match best with your amp.
Sir try to audition ERA design speaker - transparent, very clean sounding. or Aurum Cantus - smooottthhh sounding speaker. You can listen for hours without listening fatigue :)
Cheers
you may also want to check out the Monitor Audio RS1.
cheers!
how high is "high sensitivity"? say 89db? :)
That should be a good start.
@watson, brader umblebee is right but i suggest to go higher than or +90db... ;D
Good luck!... :D
thankyou all for the quick replies. :) My budget for the speakers isn't that high though...max ko na siguro is 12-15k. I know it's not that high. By the way, is it better to get a floor stander or a bookshelf would suffice?
re: the 90db, i know klipsch has a high sensitivity rating, is there a big difference between their Reference series as compared to the Synergy series?
i hope i make the right choice :) not rushing pa naman... any ideas on their prices?
With the choices you have lined up, I will opt with the Klipcsh speakers as they have the highest sensitivity rating of the bunch. 14 watts is around 11 dbF, this means that for 89dB speaker, your max. output is just 100 dB. Tubes do not have dynamic headroom hence you have to get the most efficient speaker at your disposal.
If you like orchestral works, pop music,and maybe a little rock then you have to have a speaker at least 95 dB efficiency.
95 db? what speaker are those? with regards to klipsch, ok na ba yung synergy na series? :)
If you want I have a well taken care bookshelf speaker which is tube friendly, triangle titus 202. just pm if you're interested with it.
thanks!
you can ask somebody here or much better listen to it. on top of that of all speakers you've listed above still I would choose the titus. otherwise follow accastil recommendation if you want to end up upgrading.
Why don't you consider the Polkaudio TSi200 bookshelf speakers. More details at www.polkaudio.com

Although we have both Paradigm Atom and Wharfedale 9.1, we choose 9.1 over Atom because of value for money. The Atom has transparency and all the excitement to deliver music and movie, but 9.1 is not that far off from Atom considering that 9.1 has price point advantage.

Pls recommend ideal speakers for Marantz av receiver to be used primarily for music/stereo listening.

20k sir, with this budget, is it possible to acquire a sweet-sounding stereo speakers?
Sir, problem ko kasi yung space. If you look at the HT pic, yung original center speaker niya just sits on top of the dvd player. So I am only looking for a speaker that is something similar or slightly bigger in size.
Using PS3 as your BD player? Yes it can match the sound level of your DVD player. You can adjust the volume output on your PS3.
BTW, I have a dumb question pala on adjusting the volume per channel, will the adjustment be applied only to the dvd player? my ps3 is also connected to the dvd player via optical cable. If i play blu-ray movies from my ps3, will the volume levels be the same as the dvd player?
And if I do decide to buy a new center speaker, would you recommend buying a similar brand (sony) for timbre-matching?
sorry if its OT, but are bose acoustimas really not that ok?Bose are not that bad. They are just compared to other Brands with the price range. They are just over price. If space is not a concern, of course better buy standard size speakers with cheaper cost. Bose Acoustimass and Lifestyle models are built for condo's or tight space for the people who can afford it (let me reprise my statement for those willing to spend that much) ;D I guess nobody can beat the sound of the Jewel speakers with that size???
i remember that i posted this a couple of months ago and a lot of people suggested that i replace them with wharfdales and thats exactly what i did
however, for sentimental reasons, I kept our bose speakers, its an old acoustimas, slightly bigger than the current ones but still a cube in its own right
ill try to post pics as soon as i get clear shots of them, this is what our old ht setup used as fronts, until we upgraded our receiver from a pioneer to a denon 1908, :)

Guys,
Thanks for your all valuable inputs.
I don't think the center channel is defective. Dialogue is clear. THe problem is that I can turn the volume up if I want to hear the dialogue, pero kapag action scenes na, galit na si wifey dahil sobrang lakas na nung mga surround speakers and woofer so I have to turn the volume back down again :)
I did try to adjust the volume per channel (full volume for center, half-full for the rest), but I guess I will just have to try to play around with it again and see if it does it.
BTW, I have a dumb question pala on adjusting the volume per channel, will the adjustment be applied only to the dvd player? my ps3 is also connected to the dvd player via optical cable. If i play blu-ray movies from my ps3, will the volume levels be the same as the dvd player?
And if I do decide to buy a new center speaker, would you recommend buying a similar brand (sony) for timbre-matching?
Also, considering the price of Infinity P362 (28,600) and HK 3390 (19,000), may ibang brands pa ba na same or better quality with the same price range? I'm coming from the car audio hobby by the way, using Focal VR3 3-way :) I expect a very lively and realistic sound from speakers. :)
okay, thank goodness space isnt a problem in my room. it's crowded enough already so i dont care ;D Hmm, im thinking lang, madami kasi discounted stuff, like mga stores in shangri-la. There's a focal floorstanding pair there, i forgot the price na pero it's 50% off!!!! maybe you could recommend speakers that are on sale right now? :)
OT question.. sa car kasi pwede lagyan hpf yung midbass, how do you do this for home audio/theatre? sa receiver? or sa passive crossover na mismo ng speaker set? :)

hi guys ive been reading here for a time, medyo matagal na ako sa HTPC but my sound system is logitech z5500 with monster wires. sad to say nasira ito 1 week ago because of bagyo yun patay bukas ang kuryente sa bahay and tapos na ang warranty period nung speakers wala din ata mag rerepair, so i will be switching to the real thing, nag research ako muna from receivers and eyeing for some onkyos and yamahas on 20k+ budget. i also found some old speakers from my dads HT setup, some polk audio rm series II, polk audio M series rear, and a psw 100 sub, are these any good padin to pair with the new receivers? medyo may kalumaan nadin kasi.. if not, might want to audition those wharf din sana.
I was planning to get the mission MV-8 (already bought an MV-C to pair with this) but somehow I have opened up my options again.
Hi
Can somebody recommend me floorstander speakers. I was planning to get the mission MV-8 (already bought an MV-C to pair with this) but somehow I have opened up my options again. I am quite new on all these things and would appreciate some suggestions. Following are some of my choices (pending demo in sns)
1. Mission M34i or M33i
2. Polk tsi400 or tsi300
3. Klipsch F2 or F1
4. Paradigm Titan
Rooms is around 18-20sqm
Current set-up:
Bose 901 series3
MV-C
Wharfedale 9dfs
Denon 1909
Thanks in advance
sirs, any prices of the above mentioned speakers? for 5.1 set up. thanks...
Would depend on whether you're gonna use floorstanders or bookshelves for your front.
in the price range of polk TS series, (floor for fronts), what other comparable units are available? thanks.
Sir,
how much kaya yung Polk Audio Tsi300?
thank you.
Sir,
how much kaya yung Polk Audio Tsi300?
thank you.
Be aware that for movies, it is the center channel that carries the dialogue, so you have to have the 3 speakers in front timbre matched para hindi maiba yung tunog. So, if you decide all Dyns for example, dapat Dyne din center mo. . .
Need help on suggestions on speakers for HT and audio use. Budget for fronts and center is max of 45k (hopefully lower). I'm more inclined to get floorstanders so that I don't need to buy stands. Mas-sulit kasi ata ang FS. But I'm open to bookshelves if they are of a better quality.
Did not include surrounds since I'll probably get surrounds not necessarily matching with the fronts.
Budget:
I'm assuming a center will cost around 10-15k.
If Floorstander: 20-30k.
If Bookshelf: 15-25k assuming the stand will cost around 5k.
Speakers already under consideration:
MA BR2/BR5
Polk TSi 200/300/400
Polk RTi A3
Mission M34i
B&W 685
Hope to get some other suggestions.
You can get Infinity p362s floorstanders and C350 center for way less than 40K. I got mine from avshop last April and I am very satisfied with them.

Guys would this be ok with a 5.1 setup?
front : Polk audio Tsi 200
Center : Wharfedale 9cs or polk audio cs10 or 20? lcd tv is 40"
Rear : Wharfedale 9dfs
Sub : classic polk audio psw100 ( will change din soon )
receiver to get might be the yammy 663. will polk sound good on yamaha's ba?
Guys would this be ok with a 5.1 setup?Why don't you go for an all polk audio set up:
front : Polk audio Tsi 200
Center : Wharfedale 9cs or polk audio cs10 or 20? lcd tv is 40"
Rear : Wharfedale 9dfs
Sub : classic polk audio psw100 ( will change din soon )
receiver to get might be the yammy 663. will polk sound good on yamaha's ba?
ok thanks for the tips sir, how about the omw3 na surrond speakers ng polk? medyo wala ako nakikita nag susugest nun eh sir. and will yamaha receivers go well with tsi series of polks?
oh ok thanks thanks, looking forward to audtion the tsi300, cs20/10 and the tsi100. yun sub ill use my old polk psw100 muna.
hi again blued, still deciding on the speakers since next week kasi might get the 663 nalang then kasi im thinking also na kung sulit ba mag wharf to polk since the price is medyo malayo na.. what you think sir?
exactly bali yun din yung reason why i wanted the wahrfs sana, since na audtion ko na sa s&s ill try naman the polks next this week.. atleast dun sa next audition ko the wharf and polk will be side by side therefore i can compare them well . ;)
Thanks for all your inputs so far. Will welcome more suggestions.
Am considering the Dynaudio 42 and 42c at the moment. My only worry is how they'll sound with a midlevel AVR.
I gues my experience is the same a blued888's. I was looking for a more affordable set-up for my bedroom and planned on getting wharfedale 9.1 for fronts. Went to audition it against the TSi 100 just to compare if there was a big difference. With both units not broken in, The clarity and detail of the TSi was just way better. Medyo muffled for me yung 9.1.
For HT center channels, this would be even more important since you would want the dialogue to be as crystal clear as possible. Aside from that, mahirap talaga to have your center having a different character to that of your 2 fronts.
Honestly, I also tried the TSi 100 against another much more expensive brand and still had the TSi 100 emerge as the winner. Bang for buck talaga ito.
There is a pair of 300s and 100s on the marketplace if you're really gunning for them. Withdrawn na nga lang ata yung 100.
pag naka tsi300 mas ok paired with cs10 kesa cs20 sir?Well for any home thearter system the center is the most important speaker, so its always better to get the best center that you can afford. However the CS10 will work just fine with the TSi300.
hi i just auditioned the tsi 300 with the cs10 and tsi100 with the psw125 sub . the performance was good it was with a denon receiver tomorrow will audition it again with different receiver naman, malaki na pala yun cs10 panu pa kaya yun cs20 ;)
have you considered auditioning Anthony's Floor standers brader? @ 15k personally its all worth it. try to audition it, nothing to lose bro.
Thanks will consider it... where can we audition it anyway?

mga gurus
I'm planning to build a home theater. 5.1 lang ako... living room set up around 10 to 15 sq meter area.
questions:
1. anung speakers has the same price range as wharfdales?
2. sa size ng room, puede bang hindi na ako mag subwoofer? assuming na floor stander ang napili ko.
receiver ko would be Onkyo (1st choice), yamaha, and kung meron man, NAD or Rotel. equipment to be attach: NMT, BD player, and a gaming equipment (pc or console game unit, doesn't matter)
thanks sir mac...
but are there other brands? btw, wher can i get a brochure or price list for A audio speakers? thanks

You might want to audition Dali Concept Series ... I'm using Dali Concept 6 Floor Stander and Dali Concept Center ... bought the set for around 40k at Architectural Audio (Greenbelt in Makati) .... sounds great - i paired it with a Denon 1909 ... i also considered Monitor Audio and Polk Audio, ended up getting the Dali after audition.
Here's a pic of the setup -
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/3842360282_6eae87fb79.jpg)
Consider the Aurum Cantus. You will get a FS from your budget.
october anniversary ng audio amplified baka mag sale ulit! huge discounts for the FS series last year ;D
san location ng audio amplified?
Di ata 44k lang ang monitor 7. As per a quote I got, around 50k ang paradigm monitor 7 and cc 190.
get it thru DOM .... he'll flex some muscles :)
but i hope you could give polk TSI 300 and CS10 a try too ...... its pretty darn good for me.
seriously .... I wish I bought the Infinity Primus floor standing 3 way speakers ...... midrange is detailed as i remember when i auditioned it many many months ago ...... but it'll eat up a lot of my budget :( which was pretty limited.... but no regrets with what I have .... just break it in for 24 hours with soft music at low volumes
Thanks... am actually using the Polks for a secondary set-up. Small setup nga lang kaya am using the 100s as fronts with the CS10 which I got from the marketplace. Sounded pretty good when I auditioned it against the 9.1 and even the Dali Concept bookshelf. Sobrang good deal nga sana yung TSi 300 sa marketplace but I don't want to put floorstanders in my bedroom.

kung bookshelf ... the next best sounding ones that I heard were the Paradigm Atom Monitors :) almost like the sound of my next recommendation below. Just a tad bright though
the best i tested before was B&W 685 :) if you're into 2.1 stereo setup only ...... I think this won't disappoint.
Youve been to anthonys lair diba sir? Di ba good enough ang mga clones?

Which Polk Audio front speakers should i get if i'm going to use an onkyo txsr607? RTi A1(125w@8hms) or TSi200(150w@8ohms)? Should i go for TSi all the way?

Need suggestion
Polk RTI A3 or Wharfe Diamond 10.2 matched with tube amp for pure audio. Price difference is about 7k.
Thanks!
My suggestion is to try both. :) We all have our individual preferences.
Honestly though, the 10.2 with a warm tube amp may end up fairly dark-sounding. If you're getting a neutral sounding amp with enough power, this would work just fine. If you like weight on the instruments and some extra chest on vocals, then this might be the pair for you.
The A3 is easier to drive. This could equate to better amp life, a higher playing volume before distortion sets in, and less amp power needed to get the desired volume (even a smaller amp could power these speaks sufficiently). The brighter nature and bite can also compensate for the excessive warmth of certain gear.
I aleady listened to both, overall the RTI is the winner. Diamond 10.2 is also good and the price different of 7k is really something to consider.
I have an AVR Onkyo 606 - what FS and CS is best for a room 7m x 5m? I want to have 5.1 set up. 8)

Try the Wharf DFS being sold at the Marketplace. :)
will there be any problem with wall mounting a back ported speaker? ano pala difference ng back ported to front ported? wala kse ako alam sa speakers. also ano po mas ok a-audio or wharf dfs? thanks!

hindi pala sya advisable. from what i read a-audio bookshelves is back ported. any speakers you could recommend na medyo maliit size and lower than 5k? will be used as rear wall mounted sperakers. thanks!
This might help:
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?topic=114823.0;topicseen#lastPost
I can think of the following options:
Wharfedale 9.sr / 10.sr (surround speaks)
Mordaunt Short Premiere

rear lang yung option ko kse open space yung isang side papunta dining area. panget ba yung pwesto ng speaker or ok lang? dapat ba ka level ng tenga yung speaker?
sorry sir Stagea noob ako sa speakers hehe what do you mean by tunog proac? before i started reading here i only know bose and jbl speakers. marami pa pala brand ng speakers dito ko lang nalaman sa forum. are Mordaunt-Short speakers ok?
Hi!
I am planning to upgrade from my Creative DDTS-100 and 5.1 Logitech Z5300 setup to something with better sound quality. Coming from a HTIB setup, I am a complete noob in choosing my next setup.
My HT room is small (10ft x 10ft x 7ft) so I am looking for a compact setup. I like listening to acoustic, jazz and R&B. I will also use it for watching bluray movies and a bit of Xbox/PS3 gaming.
What I am considering so far:
A. Front : Polk TSi 100
Center: Polk CS 10
Rear: Mordaunt Short Premiere 302
Sub: Polk PSW 111
Receiver: ???
Price is fine. I would have gone for the TSi 100 for the rears but they were too large for the shelf.
B. Front and Rear: Mordaunt Short Premiere 302
Center: Mordaunt Short Premiere 304
Sub: Mordaunt Short Premiere 309
Receiver: ???
Price is great, but I don't know how it stacks up against the Polk
C. Front and Rear: Wharfedale Diamond 10.0
Center: Wharfedale Diamond 10.CC
Sub: Wharfedale Diamond 10.SX-SUB
Receiver: ???
Not sure how this one stacks up against either the Polk or M.S.
I'd appreciate anyone's input on which option is better, or if there are better options I have not considered. Receiver recommendations are welcome.
My budget for this upgrade is between P30k-60k.
TIA!
Rene
Hi, Go for the Polk Audio TSi100 for fronts, CS10 for center and OWM3 for the surrounds. You can also go for the PSW111 sub. Suggest you hook this up to the Marantz SR4003.
Sirs,
Just wanted to check what speakers that can run perfectly on my old Yamaha RX-V650?
I'm looking for a complete set of speakers (front, center and surround)
My budget is about 40-50K. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks!
thnx!
Why don't you consider the following POLK AUDIO speakers:"
- TSi400 floorstanding
- CS20 center
- TSi100 surrounds
these speakers work well with your yamaha and will fit into your price range.
hi bros,
please recommend a dedicated audio bookshelf speaker budget max of 40k.
i listen mostly to audiophile voices, jazz vocals and the likes.
hopefully a speaker that would be detailed but not too bright.
ano po ang mag match sa current gears ko?
current gears:
cdp: NAD545bee
IC: monster interlink 100 (to be replaced as well)
tube amp: Cayin a55tp EL34 stock tubes (35wpc)
speaker cables: xindak sc-01b
possible choices so far:
-Monitor Audio RX2,
-Monitor Audio GS10 (pre-owned)
-B&W CM1
-B&W 685
-focal chorus
recommend lang kayo bros.
TIA! ;D
bro, since your into vocals and jazz and your pairing it with tubes and NAD why don't you include Dali Ikon 2 in the list of BS to audition...maybe you will like it?
happy listening...

By the way, mayroon na din palang Dali Ikon MK2 nakita ko sa website nila. Not sure though kong available na sa 'pinas at kung magkano.

My bad. Gusto ko sana sabihin na mag floorstander ka pa rin for audio. Kaya ko sinasabi na floorstander, may isang kaibigan kasi ako na naka BS pang audio pero nag floorstander din siya noong hindi siya makuntento sa low frequency response. Ni-retain pa rin niya iyung drivers - Audio Nirvana super 8 at nagpalit lang ng enclosure. Parehas pa rin tunog ng mids at highs pero ang laki ng improvement ng lows.
Baligtad kami ng friend mo Sir kasi ako from floorstander to bookshelves for audio. I ba pa rin talaga yung subwoofer pagdating sa lows basta tama lang yung implementation. Pero syempre depende pa din sa floorstander like yung mga high end ng VA, Paradigmn, VSA and etc. sigurado di na kailangan ng sub. Pero sa katulad ko na budget conscious or can't afford at may iba pang bisyo bookshelves lang at sub solve na sa audio. ;)
Ako din from floorstanders, nag BS ako. Nahirap kasing i-drive ng 3 watt amp ko yun FS. ;D Sa BS ko ngayon, very dynamic ang tunog ng amp ko. May improvement din sa lows kasi hindi na siya nahirapan i-drive.
narinig ko na setup ni master nelson ang lufet! :o
Oooisst. Mapapalo tayo. O.T. na. ;D
Pero pa-isang hirit pambawi ;D
Grabe naman kasi mga speakers ni Master Kt and master Stagea. Nagkakahalaga ng 6 digits. May masmatindi pa ba dun...?
kay master ivan lang yung 6digits master nelson! hehe sakin barya nya lang :D
sir bassman ano po ba masasabi nio regarding sa sound quality nung A2? may nagrecommend po sakin na bumili na lang ng wharfedales (5-6k) tapos amp (around 3k).. SQ lang po talaga habol ko. kahit di malakas. basta maganda tunog. saka im looking to add a sub someday din. thanks po.
i decided to go with wharfedale 10.1 sirs. san po ba meron nito? sana dun sa mga super mura lang.

good pm po. im now choosing between sakura av-200t po and yung lepai t-amp. hehe. hindi ko po madadala yung speakers for auditions kasi la po ako kotse. tiis tiis na lang po siguro muna ako kung ano man mabili. wala din po kasi nagbebenta ng amp ngayon na mura eh.
good day po mga guru..tanong ko lang kung ok lang po ba yung logitech z5500 htib for starters..wala pa kasi budget for separates..
planning to use it with the ff:
ps3 (optical)
dvd player (coax)
xtreamer
thanks po!
Ano maganda sa dalawa Wharfedale 10.5 or polk tsi300?
receiver:Onkyo 508
Ano maganda sa dalawa Wharfedale 10.5 or polk tsi300?
receiver:Onkyo 508
bakit mas madaming wharfedale user? dahil ba mura? madami din ako nababasa na masyado daw bright ang polk?Actually d nman bright ung polk,they are just detailed.Your onkyo 508 is a good match sa TSi300.Try to audition both speakers s mga suki nating tindahan,and let your ears decide. :)
10.5 = 3way =15k
tsi300 = 2way = 17k
Ano pa ba ibang brand ang hindi nalalayo sa price ng polk tsi and diamonds?
Hi HT gurus... newbie lang po. hingi po sana ng advice niyo. Super noob talaga ako pagdating sa HT setup. Plano ko kasi kumuha ng pioneer a/v receiver (VSX-520-k or yung 820-k). Ang problem ko is hindi ko alam kung anong brand of speakers ang i-hohook up ko sa receiver nato. May nakita ako sa abenson and sm appliances na pioneer and jamo speakers lang. Ok na ba ang pioneer speakers? eto yung exact model:
S-RS77TB 15k pala ang SRP niya.
http://www.pioneer-mea.com/en/TODOROKI/spec/index.html (http://www.pioneer-mea.com/en/TODOROKI/spec/index.html)
Baka po may masusuggest kayo ibang brand na speakers na perfect fit for a pioneer amp.
Budget for receiver: around 15-20k
Budget for speakers: around 15-20k
Purpose: 60% listening music/concert, 40% watching movies/playing ps3
thanks in advance. :)
I'm thinking of retooling my HT gear. First up are the speakers. I currently have a hybrid 5.1 set-up:
B&W 602S3 fronts, Wharfedale center and rear dipoles, SVS sub. Sounds OK but I wish to raise the SQ level a couple of notches up without using very bulky speakers. I think I'll retain the sub and replace the rest. Any recommendations? Budget of say 250T.

hi sirs. newbie here. what speakers would you recommend for an onkyo tx-sr608. i'm planning to get this avr kasi. may makukuha po ba kong decent sounding speakers on a budget of 20K ???
TIA!
Yes. Ang wharf kasya sa budget mo. And habang tine-testing mo yun new AVR mo sa ealer, best is magrequest ka na for audition ng diff speakers within your budget.
Nice looking speakers. Can you PM me a quote on those LS speakers Sanjay? Hope to hear them at the show.

Why don't you consider a full Polk Audio LSI set up:
1) LSi25 or LSi15 floorstanding
2) LSiC center
3) LSi9 or LSi7 bookshelf
thanks sir! follow up question: saang dealer po kaya ako makakapag audition ng mga speakers?
This is an excellent set. :) Very capable speakers for the price, as long as you can power them well. :)
I've been recommended the Onkyo NR1007 actually and I'm considering it. Anyway, di ba mas ok yung LSFX na dipoles for rear surrounds compared to the bookshelves?
Sir, I recently purchased an onkyo 608. I'm pairing it with Klipsch F3 package. Ano sir ang duty ng system mo? 5.1 ba, 2.1 or stereo set-up ang gusto mo; more of movies or more of audio listening ba? IMHO, dito po magdedepende ang sagot sa tanong mo.
more on movies and games boss. 5.1 sana target ko pero bubuuin ko sya part by part.
For your 20k budget, I suggest mag wharfedale ka for your 5.1 set up or better yet, mag-A-Audio ka, Just look for Sir Anthony's Thread sa marketplace.
Which is a better choice, RTi A7 or 684?
Two channel setup but will be use as well when watching movies.
TIA

For your use, I'd favor the A7.
An A7 pair can deliver decent scale and depth, which would be very useful in a subwooferless setup (especially for movies).
I already have a sub to compensate for the lows.
Would an A7 still be the right choice?
Sir, how about TSi 500 against B&W 684?
Prepare ko kasi FS.
Hindi ba mahirap i-drive ang TSi 500?
Will audition B&W 684 and Polk's TSiA7 then.
Thanks for all your replies.
Hello fellow enthusiasts!
I'm not sure if this is the right category for this, sorry (so kindly move it to the appropriate category just in case).
I'm on a hunt for a good pair of bookshelf speakers to match an Onkyo Integrated Amp A-9755. I chose this amp due to the good price - about 27k brand new, its made in Japan, has 150wpc @ 8ohms, and 200w @ 4ohms if the salesman's info was correct. However, It has no digital inputs (S/PDIF). It also has an MM Phono input eliminating the need for a phono pre-amp/stage.
I auditioned the A-9755 with a pair of sand filled QAcoustics 1030i's with Nora Jones and Katie Melua CDs using an Onkyo DX-7355 (@ about 8k). The sound was very good!
I'm looking at pairing the A-9755 with Polk Audio LSi9s, though I haven't heard them paired before. Can you guys recommend book shelf speakers for this amp? Or if anyone here have the A-9755 already, hows the performance? My listening area would be an entire living room about 20sqm.
Thanks thanks!
I've heard it with a powerful HK integrated amp at moderate levels. kaya naman niya sir. Kay Marc aka AVshop ko nadinig. Best that you bring your amp sa demo room niya cuz i think may stock siya. PM him muna in advance.
Thanks sir Nelson. Anong material pinakinggan nyo sa LSi9's?
I forgot na because it was AVshop's cd.
Thanks sir. Baka may mare-recommend pa kayong ibang speakers besides the LSi9's, something cheaper with equivalent performance.
Polk Audio RTi A7 or Paradigm Monitor 9?
Polk Audio LSi9 or Paradigm Studio 20?
Yan lang kaya ng budget but leaning towards an FS.
Which would you recomend and can you include your reason?
TIA
I'd go for the Polk lsi 9. :)
ano po babagay na front speakers para sa onkyo 608?
will be used sa gaming at music..
Audible illusions or spectra.
Already auditioned both LSi9 and Paradigm Monitor 9 tonight thanks to SnS.
Didn't get much time to audition Monitor 9 since somebody auditioned the big plasma tv after i listened to LSi9.
Might be the reason why I am leaning more towards LSi9.
The 4 ohms impedance of LSi9 is keeping me from not buying this speaker.
I don't have enough budget to buy a pair of speaker and upgrade my amp.
What speaker brand/model can you recommend around 40-45K that has an 8 ohms impedance, good sounding and good looking like LSi9?

The LSi9 is really an amazing speaker but I am having 2nd thoughts on getting this since it has a 4 ohms impedance.
Went to avshop today and auditioned the following:where is av shop? and contact person and tel. please
Polk's RTiA7 - good, but it seems this isn't good enough for me.
B&W 683 - better than A7 but the price is out of my reach.
Polk's LSi9 - best among the three speakers and pasok sa budget.
Too bad wasn't able to audition the Klipsch F3.
Thanks to James, very accomodating person and to Mark as well.
Next, audition Paradigm Monitor 9 and Studio 20.
The hunt goes on and on and on.
Went to avshop today and auditioned the following:am on the same hunt sir, pls. update your post on which model you like?......didn't you consider home theater? or audible illusions or sight and sounds? i think these are all authorized dealers.....

Hi All,
I'm newbie here at PinoyDVD. I'm in a process of building my HT setup and i would like to ask for your opinions on speakers. (bookshelf fronts, center and surrounds). I'm a music guy (listening mostly on rnb, hiphop, and alternative genre). Also I would use it for watching movies (mostly action movies). What brand of speakers would you recommend? any inputs would be highly appreciated. My budget is around 30k-40k for the 3 (bookshelf fronts center and surrounds). Also an AVR (budget is 20k)to power these speakers. (if my current amp is not enough). Currently. I have 2 12" JBL GT5 series DIY subs (gusto ko kasi malakas bass.. ;D ;D ;D). What do you suggest to match this subs?.. I'm only using Konzert amplifier AV-502 to power these subs. Is this amp can also handle the additional speakers? (sana kaya pa.. hehe.. tight kasi budget).
These are some of the brands on my list. I've auditioned these 2 brands and they both sounds great. (Sana mayroon pa mas maganda dito na pasok sa budget. ;D ;D ;D)

Klipsch - RB51 and 61 series.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and more power PinoyDVD.

Gud am mga gurus......went to avshop yesterday, auditioned some speakers po and finally settled for infinity 362,350,152,&210. W/ 608 avr. Naoverwhelemed ako sa mga setup kse ngyon lang ako nag audition, and this is my first buy po. What do you think of my set po? May mali po b? Sensya na po sa pag inquire, kse dont want to be wrong on my first buy, tagal ko din inipon nito eh.
the receiver, same lang tayo, 608. For movies, it has sufficient power to drive your speakers. For HK infinity, Di ko pa sya narinig eh.. But of course, ultimately, you'll be the judge. If you like it, then it's ok...Thanks sir for the inputs.
Mga gurus, i need your wisdom. What front speaker can best complement onkyo 608? My choices are wharf 10.1; klipsch b2/b3; and polk tsi100? Eto lng kc price range pasok sa tight budget ko, unless meron pa iba choices na better. tnk u
Stretch your budget some more and get either Polk RTi A1 or TSi 200 (they are the same price), the TSi 200 is a bigger than the RTi. You can also look at the Klipsch Reference bookshelf speakers at Spectra in Park Square. 20% off for last years models.
My Pioneer VSX-1020-K will arrive next month. What's the best entry level to mid range 5.1 speakers i can get that will match my AVR? As of now I'm leaning on wharfedale diamond 10 series. I don't need it to be too loud, i just want a fuller sound. I'll be using it for 60% movies 40% music. Thanks!

Going back to my post earlier. For movies, the key is the center speaker since it will reproduce the dialogues. Of course you'll have to get the same brand and series na front speakers para ok ang sq ng tatlong speakers na ito. In my short experience sa ht, i highly recommend testing your selected speaker brand using the same dvd or bluray as reference para makatulong sa decision nyoI finally got my 608. However,I did not get the opportunity to try it with my shortlist of speaker choices. Anung po ang mas panalo between polk TSi series and Klypsch synergy when it comes to center speaker? What store po marecomend nyo para mag audition ng polk or klipsch, at yung maganda rin magpresyo.tnku

Happy hunting!
is jamo a good speaker set for both movies and music?
was in an appliance store last night. was able to audition the only speaker sets they have which are jamo 416 hcs3 and the pioneer todoroki set. i found the pioneer a little high pitched. the jamo was sakto lang.
is the jamo worth its 9,990 price tag? it fits my budget but i am a newbie on these type of things so i don't know if something is already bang for the buck or overpriced.
SVS Speakers are pretty impressive & value for money. ;)

if you're into movies, you won't go wrong with the polk TSi series, but if you're more into music go for the RTi A series. They'll both go well with your 608.
am into movies, maybe 5% music.. for a 7.2 setup, you need 2 subs?
correct me if im wrong but the .2 indicates the number of sub. so 7.1 means one sub and 7.2 means 2.
am into movies, maybe 5% music.. for a 7.2 setup, you need 2 subs?
7.2 receiver has two subwoofer LFE pre-outs so you have the "option" to use two subs, but even if you only have one sub pre-out you can just use a Y connector to connect to two subs.
hi everyone a newbie here but i have been reading posts here for a while and have learned a lot of things,,, question..what speakers would fit best a marantz 4500 like fronts center and rear and sub? is this rcvr worth it for its price?because to tell you guys the truth i have to work my a** off just to buy the things i want so i have to choose carefully before i buy it that is why i am asking you guys i want to get more out of my hard earned money. i am 24 years old and wanted to start my "itch" that i got from my dad in regards to music and sounds but i am not into high end parts thou just an entry level that is "ok" for me will do since i don not have the money for it....
this is what i am thinking
pioneer dv-610av?
marantz 4500? or harman kardon? within 20k budget?
what speakers would be great?sub?
thanks in advance for your replies guys..
can you guys recommend me a speaker set that is less than 30k?
If you have a smallish room, the following items might suit you (5.1):
2 pairs Polk M10 (bookshelves)
1 unit Polk CSM (center)
1 unit Polk PSW110 (sub)
Contact avshop (Marc) for a quote. If you already have a receiver, take it with you to see if it'd match well with these items. In the end, you should put the most weight on how you like the resulting sound. Best of luck with your endeavor. :)
mga bro, anu pwede nyo marecommend na speakers for onkyo 606.. your inputs are highly appreciated...
Sir, I also have a 606 and I'm using it with QAcoustics 1030i, 1010i, 1000C, and 1000Si. 100% for movies only, good performance pero di ko gusto tunog nya for music :D
thanks ivo... speakers on my list include polk audio, mission and b&w. I will just bring my 606 to the store where I wll audition those speakers on my list. Para malaman ko yung SQ ng speakers.
Hi Im planning to setup my budget is 25k can someone recommend good speakers thanks
How bout a cheap NAD integrated amp paired with the LSI 7?
Sobra sa budget kasi kung A5VL + LSI 7 eh. (Except nalang kung may pre-owned na bargain :D)
Pero it looks promising. Oh well ipon nalang muna ako onti. Thanks.

Mga gurus and masters,
Di ko alam kung saan thread ko to itatanong kaya I thought dito na lang ;D
Ano ba ang consequences pagcombined ang 4ohm and 8ohm speaker rating sa isang AVR?
Thanks ;)
Brader, i have a thread about it, only difference is mine is 6ohms and 8ohms instead of 4ohms.. Check the link out..

Can somebody recommend a good, musical, subwoofer. Preferrably an 8-incher specifically for music only; with Left and Right RCA inputs.
Budget: only up to 7k :(
Mga gurus and masters,

The lower the impedance, the harder your amp will work.
Amoy LSI yata ah! ;D The Onkyo 508 and 608 are not rated to drive 4 ohm speakers continuously though they do have a 4 ohm setting which "protects" the amp. The 708 can drive 4 ohms safely.
Thanks sir conan :)
Yup I saw the settings sa 508 na pwede 4 ohm setting. So if I will drive a 4ohm and 8ohm speaker at the same time I should select the 4 ohm setting?
Yup!
Hi mga sir,
gusto ko na rin mag join sa hifi world ;D kaya i keep on reading ng mga threads here in PDVD para matuto.
right now i'm on a hunt for my 1st AVR mukhang gusto ko na yung Onkyo sr508+wharf spkrs until i found
pio520+shs 100 spkr system.
pio520 looks ok ang feedback sa mga users here pero wala akong makuhang input regarding sa shs 100 speakers. "would you recommend these speakers?"
if ever i decide to go for pio520, what speaker would you recommend? btw i prefer compact speakers maliit kasi room ko :D
TIA
if ever i decide to go for pio520, what speaker would you recommend? btw i prefer compact speakers maliit kasi room ko :D
I doubt that the Pioneer 520 with those never heard speakers is better than the Onkyo 508 with Wharfdale combination. Are you after cheaper price or better performance?
How compact? The Wharfedale Diamond 9 HCP set is pretty compact (just a bit bigger than sattelites).
(http://www.superfi.co.uk/images/main/wharfedale-diamond-9-hcp-walnut-1800.jpg)
Gurus and audio masters ;D
I've been looking at the Polk LSi9 and LSi center for quite sometime now but I'm worried that my AVR (Onkyo 805) would not have sufficient power to drive them. What other Bookshelf type speakers would you recommended that is in the same league as the LSi that will be equally good in both audio and movies and also easy to drive?
Thanks in advance for your inputs and suggestions :)

The LSi speakers aren't THAT hard to drive. But other good speakers in that price range would include the PSB Imagine series, B&W CM series and MA GS series. All sound a bit brighter than the LSi.
Try listening to a Mordaunt Short Mezzo speaker system at 5th Avenue stores.

Save a bit more for the Polk M20, Diamond 10.3, or Diamond 9.4. They don't play as loud, but they do sound better than the VR-300.
However, please do consider better bookshelf speakers for that price range.
Ok lng po ba match ng kh160 and wharfe 9 BS?
good morning PinoyDVD! just asking what you guys would prefer regarding these two bookshelves?
a) Polk Audio RTi A1
b) Monitor Audio BX2
I plan to hook a bookshelf them to a T-amp for the meantime then get a suitable amp in the future. can you comment on what you would prefer and why. thanks!
I am a beginner in full-audio that is why I am posting this. I love music more than movies, and my plan is to just put them on top of my desk about 2 cm off the wall, and place the tweeters to around ear level. my desk is just about a meter wide and it sits on one corner of a 24 square meter room.
I would love to hear your recommendations :)
thank you very much sir Sanjay for your suggestion, it will factor in a lot! so one for the Polk :)
the impressions for the Polk RTi A1 and the MA BX2 are numerous and both get praised in a lot of forums, and I am having difficulty deciding based on these reviews alone. will get a pair by the end of the month to make the most out of my desktop DAC. these are the ones that fall favorably into my budget :)

Chief,
Try the Polk RTi A3's! If you can adjust your budget, it's worth the audition. It's just a little more adjustment to the budget, but really great in the long run.
I just got mine recently and I am definitely loving them.
Btw, contact Marc sa AVShop. He can prepare a great audi for you and give you a good deal!
Come by the shop and compare the 2. Will be having a demo unit of the ma bx2 this week. We already have the Polk Rti series in stock. :)
thanks for the input sir, I am also eyeing this model :)
thanks sir, will try to pass by your shop :)
Even if the speakers is 4ohms and 88db?
Yup. If you look at the impedance plot of these speakers, they don't look so bad. It doesn't get much lower than 4 ohms for any of the LSi models (capacitance also does not get THAT bad). There are many "8-ohm nominal" speakers that are in fact harder to drive (mostly higher end models).
In your opinion sir, music wise A9 vs LSi 9? Which one is better?
For music, go for the Polk Audio LSi 9.
For music, go for the Polk Audio LSi 9.
Does the LSi 9 really need a very powerfull amp to sing? Is it ok kung receiver lang mag popower sa kanya? Maganda din kaya result? or Mas maganda ba pag dedicated power amp instead of receiver or a receiver will do?

Sir, first time i got my LSi9s I hooked them up to an H/K AVR2550 Receiver, new from the box and no break in period yet it sounds so well with my CDs compared to a pair of QAcoustics 1030s and Diamond 8.3s. However, the sound was improved further when I used a 4ohm integrated amp with the LSi9s.
Do try good speakers with stereo amps. You will find that a good stereo budget amp just demolishes the high end receivers where music is concerned, actually even for movies in stereo mode.
The premise of simpler is better really reigns for audiophile use. Chip amps, T-Amps, Nelson Pass design and actually tubes have very simple designs - these results in lesser impact on the music signal. With audiophile grade components - the lesser the components (and wire distance) - the better :)
Sir, care to share what your set up is with the LSi9s? I'm also considering this pair ;)
Thanks so much...
I totaly agree bro! ;) simpler the better always.. :) me im trying to cut some stuff in my signal chain.. That makes me love integrateds why? Only 1 pair of IC's and a pair of speaker cables..
just: source->int amp->speakers->heaven... ;D It always sound better for me that way.. I never use anything that would get into my chain.. Even fuse sa amp i bypassed it coz my speaker have one already so i dont need another..
Hello Louie_18,
I'm using an Onkyo A-9755 bi-wired to the LSi9s. LSi9s are on a pair of Sabre stands about a foot and a half from the back wall and about a couple of feet from the side walls angled 25 degrees inward to the sweet spot :)
I have an Onkyo CD player, a SL-1200 MK3, and Onkyo Ipod dock hooked to the A-9755 but primarily I use the MK3 as source with either a SHure m97xe, an Ortofon 2M red, or the ol' M447.
Hope this helps.
For an 80K budget what bookshelf(di na kasya FS sa area) for left and right front and center speakers would you buy to be used mainly for movies around 70% and only 30% for music? ;D
Hindi ito para sakin, hehehe ;D
defensive agad si master louie ;D
hi! i am also a freshman.. i just want to ask.... i have pioneer amplifier model a-717. i dont know and i dont have any idea what kind of speaker ang puede ko gamitin sa ampli ko... what is the best match for this?
i also have pioneer vsa-d8tx home theater amp. anu po ba ang mag match sa home theatyer amp ko?
Is there any speaker out there that sounds like a sonus faber? And those that are affordable. Have auditioned Usher, a bit on the expensive side, but its not there yet. Tried Wharfedale and Monitor Audios - sound is different.
Sonus sound is quite mellow (like tubes) but quite detailed and very musical.

Salamat po
Salamat po sa mga input sir..malaking tulong po iyan..

Pati din po yung rti a1 at a3. Hehe ..alamin ko lang po prce..
Salamat po sir
Guys, Recommend naman kayo ng BS Speaker na nasa 30-35k price range. To be used with a T-amp for near-field applications lang. Ito palang nasa isip ko:
-Polk Audio LSi7
-Monitor Audio RX2
What should I get sa dalawa? May iba pa ba kayo ma-recommend?
Addendum: This is to be a 2.0 setup with a sub (high-level).
I will purchase a TK2050 chip based t-amp once I get a hold of my future speaks. I think it would be sufficient enough since near-field naman ang application. Looking at the specs, mukhang compatible naman.
My TA2020 based amp can drive a wharfedale diamond 10.1 really well. Almost same lang specs ng 10.1 sa mga na mention kong speaks in terms of recommended wattage. I also think na kaya ng TA2020 yung mga na-mention ko ;D
So, any recommendations? :)
-Dynaudio Audience 40 (2nd Hand)
-Monitor Audio RX2
-Wharfedale Diamond 10.7
100% music. For progressive rock/metal genre using a PC based system using a fairly upgraded DAC.
Well eto na. Nakapag upgrade na ko ng amp ko from Topping TP22 (TK2050) to a Yaqin VK2100. Alam ko I have asked this before, pero iba amp ko nun and as you can see, ang na recommend sakin ay Klipsch. Pero for this amp naman, ano kaya sa mga choices na to ang marerecommend nyo? Budget of up to 30k lang.

If your lookin for speakers that are very easy to drive, Klipsch ako hands down. ;D
Both brands have different variety of models that would definitely suit your budget. You can audition them this coming hifi show and see if what would rock your boat.
Mga master kelan po ung hifi show and san gaganapin? ;D
I have the MA S1 paired with my Duntonic du-3i since 2004. What would be another speaker that would be a good match with this amp? If I remember correctly, a pair of Triangle Cometes sounded better (my S1 then sounded weaker and a bit muffled compared to the Cometes) with my amp during an audition that time.
Hi Guys,
Need recommendation. Getting addicted with my gear and want to step it up a notch and go full 5.1 :)
Please help recommend a good Rear Speaker and Sub with my current setup:
Receiver: Pioneer 1020-k
Front L/R: Polk Tsi300
Center: Polk CS20
I'll probably buy a PSW110 (para kafamily ng current speaker ko.). kung meron kayong ibang masuggest - please feel free to add.
For the Rear left/right - wala ako idea. Wala kasing polk product na nakalgy na pede. Gusto ko sana yung pede iwall mount kasi medyo tight space.
Thanks.
my setup here http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208054_1855085831267_1664483916_32433002_3827169_n.jpg (http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208054_1855085831267_1664483916_32433002_3827169_n.jpg)
Ri
@incc3,
7.1 system is too much. problema yung wall mount ><
@sanjay,
thanks. i'll check them out
@Sanjay,Go for the tsi100, I would only recommend the owm3 if you lack space, as the owm3 is smaller, thinner and more compact.
between the two TSi100 and the OWM3 - -which would you recommend?
Thanks
Torn between getting a Mordaunt Short - Aviano 1 or Polk TSi-100. Any suggestions? Thanks!
go for the polk audio tsi100.
Thanks! Any particular reason for this preference?err,distributor yata kasi sya ng polk audio kaya yan suggestion nya

I know someone using Dynaudio Countour 5.4 speakers purely for karaoke. Though he has a Focal Electra HT, and a Dynaudio Confidence HT.
I've also seen an older B&W 802 hooked-up for karaoke use.

what brand/model of speakers have good balance of performance for both music and movies?
thanks.
please specify your budget so that our members can suggest ;)
Lokoloko ka Master Patrick. Straight CD-R King ang gamit ko. From turntable to TV. :)kaw pala un sir eh! :D
Actually safe na safe ang barongbarong namin dahil walang AC outlet. Puro USB port lang. :D
for speaker budget around 20-30k lang siguro.
Polk Audio RTi A3 fronts + Polk Audio RTi A4 or A6 center
A3+A6 will be slightly above your budget but the A3+A4 will be within.
pde ba gawing surround speaker ang mga frontspeaker bookshelves? thanks :D
Can anyone recommend me a good speaker/sub set for movies/gaming? Budget P20k max.
I also live in a condo so I'm not really aiming for anything fantastic (that would also be expensive). Entry-level would be more than suitable, I think.
appropriate for your needs. better hurry though.

Oh, wow. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Just contacted the seller.
I have another question. The receiver I'm planning to get is 7.1, if/when I decide to add those two extras, what kind of speakers should I get? Should the brand be the same as the rest?
as much as possible it should be the same...not just for sound coherence but also aesthetics. but judging on how these speakers were marketed, it'll be hard to find couple of spare for surround duties. 7.1 is necessary for long rooms. but for most ht setups, 5.1 is more than enough. great to see you decided on the energies. i'm not related to the seller of the energies para clear lang.
Hmm, I guess I can hold off on that seeing as I won't be moving anytime soon. I've only had HTIBs (and not really the good ones at that) so this is my first time to dive into a full set-up. So I take it if I manage to get the speaker set and get a receiver that does DolbyHD/DTS-HD, I'd notice a huge improvement?

sounds like you know what you want. hd audio? huge improvement? mukhang isa kayo sa mga mabibiktima ng pdvd sa oplan zero contentment. :P i only suggested the energy takes kase kala ko maliit lang pwesto niyo. and you want to setup and forget. hehe. i personally would want bigger drivers for ht.
in hobbies that involve spending, it is usually the hunt that's more enjoyable than the acquisition. kaya take your time, leon. btw i also can't hear the difference between hd audio and standard.

I totally agree with you. :D Bigger drivers for all the speakers that are capable of reproducing at least 50hz for the lows.
It's also the story behind the hunt that makes the acquired gear very special. ;D
yes sir. iba tlaga yung dating ng depth of larger drivers for impact.
leon, i suggest you go for 2nd hand speakers. lake matitipid mo. for amps, you can go brand new because i've see a couple falter w/in a year.
Sir's. Ano magandang type ng speaker for movies? Bookshelves or floorstanders? Sabi nila mas maganda ang bookshelves? Ano basic differences nila?
Different speakers have different sonic characteristics. Best if you could audition them sa ating mga suking stores here at PDvd. They're more than willing to show to you.
IMHO, i don't mind kung bookshelf or floorstander. Generally, there is no such thing as a speaker that's good for movies and music. They are all and the same. It would strongly depend on your preference and budget. For music or HT duties, i personally would prefer speakers that could go low with a very smooth frequency response as much as possible.
Im eyeing polk rti a3 speakers kac for 80% movie and 20% music.. And I'm torn between bookshelves and floorstanders.. I've read somewhere here in pdvd that bookshelves is good for movies than floorstanders. Do you think both bshelves and fstandes would generate an outstanding performance level in terms of SQ?
Ako, i fell in love with the LSiMs but could afford it. ;)
Take note, sabi niya could afford it! ;D

Rich si sir.. :D
Mag Sir at Ma’am nais ko po sanang mag-upgrade ng rear surround speakers , polk tsi 300 at cs 400 po ang fronts and center ko.
Dapat sana tsi 100 ang rears, kaya lang di talaga kaya ng dibdib at wallet ko yung 9+++ para lang marinig yung putok ng baril. :(
Ano po kaya 2nd best thing na mag ma-match sa fronts ko, pang movies lang po set up ko.
Salamat po.

@Sir Nelson, actually Sir, Medyo matagal narin akong nag aabang ng pre owned TSi 100 di maka tsamba ;D, yung M series mukang okay din itong alternative, I'll look into it. Thank you Sir.
@ Sir Labuyo, Okay din sanang alternative Charisma, layo lang showroom ni Sir Anthony nasa north side kasi ako ng QC. Pag wala talaga akong nakitang preowned polks malamang AAudio bagsakan ko. Salamat sa input Sir.
Sayang naman if you don't complete your speaker system with the same series. Before I used to have different rear speakers which was a carry over from my old system, then when I saved enough to buy the correct rear speakers to match my fronts and center, the improvement was like night and day. Pag-ipunan mo na lang yun TSI 100.
Gamit kong rear's ngayon dayton sat lang, ang cucute ng drivers, 3.5 lang ata, kaya pag putok ng shotgun sa harap pistol na lng pagdating sa likod ;D
Iniisip ko kc kung same specs lang halimbawa, same sensitivity,FR, and driver size baka umubra na.
Kaya lang iba pa rin siguro characteristics ng polk, at ano nga po pala ibig sabiling ng "timber match"?
Timber matched simply means that all your speakers have a similar sound in the midrange and high frequencies. If you add a TSI 100 it would match the rest of your TSI speakers since it uses the same tweeter.
Masters,
Right now i my avr is onkyo 805 and planing to change my speakers for ht. im choosin between mission speakers, a audio titus series and polk audio rti series for the front, center, side surrounds and rear surounds. what will be the best match for my avr? happy new year guys!
Polk Audio RTi for me.. :)
+10 ;)I also considering the Paradigm Monitor Series i just dont know what is the pricing of this speakers if it will fit my budget. Mukhang mapapa polk ako nito. konting kulam pa..... :)
You could also consider Paradigm Monitor series and Infinity Primus :)

Which Mission speakers? Is it the MX series? If your space allows, floorstanding speakers will have more bass than bookshelf speakers.
yes sir im thinking of the mx series.

Go for the Polk Audio RTi series. These are very powerful efficient speakers that match well with your onkyo. Great sound for both movies and music.
Yes. The best thing to do however is to listen to them yourself. Bang for buck, the RTi series presents one of the best, if not the best, propositions against other brands. Within the series, it was my experience that each higher model presents a strong argument to move up to it - this is how I ended up at the A9.
Mga Masters, Pls recommend a speaker for HT and music 50/50. Im choosing between AE neo 1 v2 and KEF Q300, ill be building my system around these speakers. Right now im using Pio vsx 520k for HT and Dayton Dta 100a for music, but eventually ill upgrade to suit what speaker ill choose. My budget for L/R speaker is 20-25k. you may suggest other speakers that fits the budget. i already auditioned the AEs but the KEF not yet.
TIA :)
Whoa, thats a long list... :) need to go out now to audition those speakers you've mentioned. Thank you very much for the input. Btw, where can i audition the klipsch and PSBs, is the klipsch brighter than the Rti A3?
Thanks again, this site is really helpful to newbies like me, now the hunt and the gastos begins :)
which do you refer mga sir? eto kasi aabutin ng budget ko. if iwill choose option 1 i will use my current jamo sub300 to pair with them. mag 1 month na ko sleepless night kakaisip nito. tapos ang isa pang kontra, pag nakita ni esmi bedget sigurado samsung na 51 inch 3d plasma papabili nun kaya secret ang plan na to. bahala na tsaka na mag sory pag nandyan na.

solobaric with pilyo amp will definitely be a good choice. one thing good with pilyo amps is you can match it with your car subwoofer but upon hearing ht/music sub compared to car subs is that ht/music subs can go really low but the car subs are more accurate correct me guys if im wrong
hehehe! thats right sir hirap pag naka abang. anyway just cleaning my old room when i saw that i still have my
15 inch S7 kicker solobaric. napaisip ako tuloy gamitin sya just add pilyo amp.hmmm... isip isip. the problem with this lang is it eat a lot of space in my room.

Hey guys. Good morning. Hingi lang sana ako ng recommendation kung anong speaker ang ikakabit ko sa lumang Yamaha RXV-440 na nabili ko din dito sa PDVD around 2007. I needed an upgrade from my crappy Konzert 5.1 na medyo masakit sa mata. ;D What should I look for? May nakita akong Jamo na 5 speakers almost 10k lang sa SM appliance and hihingi lang ako ng advice before I take the plunge. Medyo na-ignore ko kasi tong hobby natin nung naging busy sa work. Gusto ko sana floor standing ung fronts para bagay sa TV ko. Thanks in advance! You guys are awesome.
Rotel RA-1520 ang gagamitin ko, maganda naman tumunog sa Audience 42 ko very detailed, musical kaso im wanting a bit more lush sounding midrange which i dont think the audience and excite series can provide. they are designed to sound neutral imo.
Im looking at the new def tech studiomonitors 65. d'appolito config with passive rads. i dunno, the gimmick of def tech sells to me specially when I heard the Mythos STS playing.
Pero may iba pa bang suggestions? Thinking of getting an old,old dynaudio contour but i dunno how previous dyns sound and also concerned on wear and tear. Any comments on the new LSi M's from polk?
Jamo is ok. And while your at it, try to check out jamo sub. I heard they're on sale and super reasonable ang prices.hey thanks sir. follow up question. nakalagay sa specs ng rxv-440 na 8 ohms sha. pwede ba ko magkabit ng 6 ohms? whats gonna happen?
hey thanks sir. follow up question. nakalagay sa specs ng rxv-440 na 8 ohms sha. pwede ba ko magkabit ng 6 ohms? whats gonna happen?
yes. it's possible. Ilan ohms and sensitivity ng speaker mo?I'm in search for speakers pa. Old Yamaha RXV440 receiver ko. Thanks! What would you recommend? Nakabantay na ko sa Speakers Classifieds ngayon e. 10k below budget ko.hehe

Usually people start with Wharfedale Diamond series or A-Audio Genesis/Charisma series.Thanks! Diamond series it is. Thanks guys. You are all helpful.
From time to time may lumalabas din sa marketplace.

Good evening mga sirs! Can U recommend a good speaker for my Onkyo PR-SC5509 and PA-MC5501... ;D :) thanks!!!
Ano pala ang preference mo sa sound quality? Madetalye? Laid back sounding? Warm? Forward? Etc.Sir Nelson newbie palang po ako sa HT, i'm not familiar sa sound quallity
WOWowOWow :o :o :othanks Sir Louie sa info,i'll try to audition those speakers pagnapunta ako ng manila, saan pwede magAudition?
For full Home Theater, try to audition the Polk Audio Rti A9 + A6 center + FXi A6. Kasyang kasya 100K+ na budget mo. Magandang match ito for your full Onkyo pre/pro and power amp.
You could also consider B&W CM series. I heard this before with the Onkyo 5009 avr and they're heavenly ;)
Pwede ding JBL LS series which I think is one of the better all around speakers out there :)
(love your own, hehehe)
Sir Nelson newbie palang po ako sa HT, i'm not familiar sa sound quallity
If that's the case, then simply make your rounds, try to bring your prepro & receiver (if possible), sa ating mga suking shops like AVShop Kalayaan, AudioWorld Banaue, Sound and Vision Banaue, Sights and Sounds & AVDI Edsa Shang., or sa Mandaluyong sa Demo room ng Polk. See what brand that would suit your taste or preference. IMHO, it's important, before you make your purchase, that you establish first kung ano ang preference mo sa sound. Otherwise, you'll end up selling and buying new gears again. With your budget, i will be very careful in my purchase by making sure na gusto ko talaga yun sonic signature ng speakers na binibili ko.thank you sir nelson, but its difficult for me to bring the unit for demo coz i'm down here Maasin City Southern Leyte... :(
You can also visit some very generous PDvd members here, who are more than willing to let you audition their system para malaman mo din what combination might suit your preference.
thank you sir nelson, but its difficult for me to bring the unit for demo coz i'm down here Maasin City Southern Leyte... :(

I'm planning to change the sattelites of my Z-5500 to bookshelf speakers. any reco? budget around 5-7k
specs of Z-5500:
Nominal Output Power (Total) 505 Watt
Max (RMS) Output Power (Total) 1010 Watt
Response Bandwidth 33 - 20000 Hz
Input Impedance 8 KOhm
Sir, mahihirapan ata tayo makakita ng 5 pcs ng speakers to fit your P5-7t budget.
Sorry sir! di ako malinaw. I was thinking 2 pcs lang, would not change the surrounds and center yet. hehe
;D
I'm pretty sure in a few months, kapag napalitan mo na ang lahat ng speakers mo, AVR na ang kasunod.
Happy hunting!
thanks sir nelson. i was just thinking kung pwede pa dagdagan ng 2 kasi may extra speaker out pa ung luxman. i'd like to try book shelf speakers too. how about if i'll get a fiio a1 amp? what bookshelf speakers can i pair with it? budget is 7k too:)
Sir, mahihirapan ata tayo makakita ng 5 pcs ng speakers to fit your P5-7t budget.
or, DIY route ka na. Kung makakakita ka ng set of tweeters and woofers w/ xover or full range speakers for P800-P1,000. Yun sukli, pambili ng plywood.
Hilate reply but might help. since tangband are good fullrange drivers already, why not DIY a good box for the drivers instead? :)

Sir, mahirap talaga ang mayaman at madaming moolah. :D All three are very good speakers. Though with sonus, you need a hefty amp to make them dance. Pero i like the sonus for classical and orchetra music. I've auditioned a pair of Aurum 2way. Very relaxing and smooth pero balanced sa detail though bitin sa lows. I'm sure that model would perform better sa low region. The MAs for me, has tighter lows naman compared to Aurum. You can't go wrong with any of the three! Musical preference na lang ang labanan.

Guys, can you recommend a pair of bookshelf speakers at least 94db efficent to be driven by a 20wpc t-amp?
Alternatively, can you recommend a diy speaker builder for a single driver FR at least 94db efficient (Alnico, Fostex, etc) using double bass-reflex type enclosure in real wood veneer cabinet? TIA.

Good pm to all PDVD gurus.
Ask ko lang what sets of speakers would jive well with onkyo tx-nr414. Currently using "chopsuey" set (2 generic for fronts, philips center from old component, and 2 small samsung surrounds from htib).
I like watching movies while si mrs more on music. initial budget of 10k max better if kaya pa lower.
Any suggestions on how to upgrade my speakers gradually?
TIA

Question Guys:
I read here na you need powerful amps to drive wharfedale series 9 na speakers. would my Onkyo HT-R390 with 100W/C be able to drive a Wharfedale 9.0 or 9.1?
Hi everyone,
kindly recommend a bookshelf speaker from these three:
Audioengine P4 http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-P4 (http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-P4)
Polk TSi 100 http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tsi100 (http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tsi100)

it will be used on my pc via a mini-amp like a Nuforce Icon or an Audioengine N22. ;)
Listen to your options then decide. :) I suppose all three can sound pretty good with the right matching. I suggest getting a small sub to augment these speakers though.
Without a sub, check out the MS Carnival 2. They aren't very detailed, but I find them 'easier to enjoy' in the absence of a subwoofer.
Hi everyone,
kindly recommend a bookshelf speaker from these three:
Audioengine P4 http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-P4 (http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-P4)
Polk TSi 100 http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tsi100 (http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tsi100)
Polk M10 http://www.polkaudio.com/products/m10 (http://www.polkaudio.com/products/m10)
it will be used on my pc via a mini-amp like a Nuforce Icon or an Audioengine N22. ;)
Kung 10k ang initial budget you could set up muna 2.0
Check mo Anthony Audio Genesis bookshelf speakers or Wharfedale or Polk Audio TSi sereis or sa marketplace madaming quality used speakers.
For speaker upgraders, pagnakaipon ka ulit bili ka ng subwoofer para 2.1 na set up mo...
Then buy matching center speaker(same brand and series with your fronts)...
Tapos pagnakaipon ulit bili ka surround speakers para 5.1 na set up mo...
HTH :)
Thanks for the tip
Gudam...ask ko lang po which is better for surrounds? wharfs 10 dfs or polk owm3?anu ba fronts mo?
Question lang din po...ok lang po bang nsa top ng listening area ang surrounds?yun sofa ko po kasi nkadikit sa wall..thx in advance

If your using polk audio rti a3, then your better off using polk audio owm3 for the rears.
Okay lang ba imount ang polk fxi a6 surrounds above 8 feet high? Kc meh pinto un back side namin.
Yes it's ok if you have no choice. You can aim/tilt it slightly downwards na lang.
Hi guys,
I'm planning to setup an entry level 5.1 HT, for our small room.
To be used 70% movies and 30% music.
I'm on a tight budget and I cannot afford polk audio tsi series, which I really like.
Now I'm considering Wharfedale Diamond 10 series, which will fit my budget.
Are they good?
Thanks in advance.

better siguro to start slowly kasi dyan usually pumapasok ang upgradititis. aim for what you like. but do a side by side comparison/audition of the TSi and the wharfs. av reciever tapos front left and right muna. ipon ulit for a sub, then ipon ulit for a center, then ipon some more for surrounds
Isa isa mo na lang paliytan ang speakers mo. Start with the fronts and center. Could you name the brand and model of your LCR so we can further give you a detailed advice...
Okay ba magcmula ng 3.0 setup? Eto un naiisip ko na setup. Rti a9 for fronts and csi A6 for center.
Or
2.1 setup? Rti a9 for fronts and svs pb12nsd.

dialog can be heard kahit stereo setup ka lang pero ang slam ng sub ay di mo mararamdaman from a pair front. kung mga drama/romance o similar type ng movies na puro talkies lang naman mas ok ang 3.0 PERO kung action at suspense aba'y di na kailangang i-memorize ya-a-an... hth ;)

hello again :)
I stretched my budget for a floorstanding speakers, it's still low though.
Can anyone recommend a efficient/easy to drive speakers for around 10-12k budget?
It will be powered by Sony dh720.
TIA!
Just seeking suggestions for my planned HT set up. This will be used 100% for HT but I watched concert blurays too. What 5.0 speaker set up would you recommend that I should audition for 160K budget. I already have subwoofer.
For 100% HT use, i'd get a polk rti a9 setup. may sukli pa malamang yung 160k, and probably you can dedicate that remaining budget for a power amp.

Hindi ba too bright ang polk rti for concerts?
Hindi ba too bright ang polk rti for concerts?
for me, the number of woofers on the a9 overwhelms the brightness of the rti series, plus if you'd really like to tone down the brightness, your receiver should have a treble adjustment. plus room acoustics help too like avoid letting the tweeter reflect on glass, since it amplifies the brightness.
mga sir,
newbie here. gusto ko sanang maglagay ng 2 tower speakers para sa blu-ray player at lcdtv. problem is pwede po kayang ikabit dun ang speakers? pati im in a tight budget, pwede po kaya yung mga nakikita ko na konzert tower speakers pra sa small room? thanks in advance

Would the Rti A9 be better for HT compared to PSB Image T6, B&W 683 and Paradigm Monitor 11?
All four could do great, but the A9 is a lot easier to drive than the other speakers on the list (making it suitable for midlevel AVRs and higher).
Would the Rti A9 be better for HT compared to PSB Image T6, B&W 683 and Paradigm Monitor 11?
If price is involved in this conversation, which of the four would be the best bang for the buck? I'm certain the B&W's are quite expensive, same with the MA's, but I have not checkd on the Polk's and the PSB's recently, mahal narin ba? ???
You are gonna spend almost the same if you are going to complete the entire set. The A9 may be more expensive than some of the other floorstanders but then it's bookshelf/surround and center speaker can be cheaper.
I would suggest you audition them first so you would know which sound you would prefer. Then think of the price later. :D It's better to get the speakers that your ears want rather than having that upgrade itch later.
What Hifi in Makati Cinema Square carries Paradigm, MA, B&W and PSB, while SnS in Shangrila has Polk and PSB.
if those are active speakers which can power itself then probably that setup will work.
kailangan mo pa ng amplifier/receiver para maconnect sa tv and bluray player

thanks for the reply, i do really appreciate it...
hmm.. so i have to acquire an amplifier. by the way, should i buy the amplifier/receiver first?
Hi,
Am looking into getting a pair of bookshelves entirely for Music to pair with my HK134.
I'm currently choosing from what's available at the Marketplace ;D
1. PSB B25
2. Monitor Audio BX2
my current sub is just a Wharf SW150 but I'm not considering Wharfs.
any links for reviews will be ok too.
TIA.
Hi sir, my preference is??? Warm and Clean I guess. ;D
Thanks.

Hi.. Just new in here, I need some help. I just bought lately Carnival 8 for my front speaker to be pair with
my HK 3490 stereo receiver. Dami na din ako nabasa sa forum ne eto and I've learn a lot of things about audio system, that's why I'm asking some opinion to my fellow pdvd member kung ano ang magandang Subwoofer na maging match sa stereo set up, ko pure music lang po ako.
Thanks in advance.....

Look for a sub with a low pass filter that can be set quite low for proper blending.
Sir if I am not mistaken your Carnival series has a matching Carnival 9 Sub that goes 25hz low (I just saw one at 5th ave parksquare Makati, P10800) which is low enough for some users. If you want something better, the prices get steeper though, you can check these brands...SVS, Velodyne etc.
Sir, I already audition this carnival 9 sub not so impressed. I'm thinking a subwoofer na pang matagalan na kumbaga. Sa set up ko ngayon na HK 3490 + carnival 8 , parang may kulang sa pandinig ko, I've tried to add
this subwoofer baka ma satisfy ako sa outcome ng 2.1 system, if not I need to upgrade the front speaker.
Any sub you've heard na ok sa HK 3490? Thanks in advance...
Sir Stagea, I do more research and reading to understand your comment, and it really helps me a lot.
Thanks......
Unable to comment much on what goes with the harmans, havent tried eh. Kung music fan ka kasi sir minimum ang 25hz so go for the reputable manufacturers, i've demoed klipsch rw12d, b&w 610 and the polk audio dsw660, all of which are impressive and go below 27hz or lower kaso katapat nyan sir is substancial cost.
You're welcome. In case you're pushing through with replacing your front speakers for a 2.1 system, you may be better served by higher quality bookshelf speakers (given that you don't need that much output). This way, you can invest your money on higher grade speakers, instead of spending the same money on a lower quality tower pair. A good quality sub should be able to handle the low frequencies.

folks, just a quick survey:
which one do you think would be best for music?
a.)Definitive Technology Studiomonitor 65
b.)Dynaudio Excite X12
c.)Focal Chorus 806v
Those are the only options for now. As you may have noticed, the speakers prices ranges from 45k to almost 50k only, as that's what the budget only allows. Which do you think would be best suitable for well recorded Rock albums, Jazz, and vocals. If you have other suggestions at this price point, it would be greatly appreciated.
sir qguy, may contact number ka dun?
That'd be best answered by your preference, room and matching gear. Have you listened to these speakers extensively?
What i had was a Rotel RA1520 and a Dynaudio Audience 42 and bass reinforcement from an SVS sealed sub. I actually was very satisfied with the setup in terms of sound performance. The thing is that the Audience 42 I got back then was used, it had nicks and dents and peels that annoys me. I actually sold it just purely because of its looks. ::) ::) ::)
Thats why I am reconsidering the excite 12 (in gloss black which would match my svs sub). I also added the deftech studiomonitors 65 as an option because of its WTW configuration and deftech's design philosophy. I was wondering if the deftech could actually outperform the excite 12 (or even the x16) in general because of its engineering. No way to a-b test both.

yeah, marketing ;D
the geek in me really appreciates the way sandy gross (Polk, Deftech, Goldenear) explained the philosophy behind his products.
I'll be calling a local distro to setup an appointment for the Deftech just to be sure i'm not missing anything.

So.. funnily enough, I ended up with something that wasn't on my list. A Paradigm Studio 20 v.5.
I really prefer this sound compared to my Audience 42 before. A lot more dynamic, and the midrange is so 'there'. Though one gripe I have with these speakers is that they look like crap with the grills off, so on they stay :D
I ended up happy with my purchase. ;)

For now......
Congrats sir Armymanhaha... ! :o on your New speakers.... ;D
can you tell us your comparison with those brands you mentioned in your earlier post. And the deciding factor that made you bought Paradigm aside from it's mid presence & crappy look when grills off...? :D
:)
papalit nanaman si sir francis matindi lately ang sickness nya hehehe....
I went auditioning with my girlfriend. Sabi niya tumayo daw balahibo niya nung narinig niya yung female vocals sa Dimes. Sabi nya ng pabiro isayaw ko daw siya. Being the cynical me, I just gave her the look that says "WTF?!" >:( :D But I also was actually shocked how realistic the Studio 20s conveyed sound.
So ayun. I've never ever saw her took interest in music, let alone music playback with that kind of enthusiasm. So naisip ko, baka fatiguing 'to. To be sure that its not just the initial sound that wowed us, I sat there for almost an hour listening to drum solos for dynamics, lots of Jazz and vocals, (and having the salesman shut up ;D) I just really cant find a hint of fatigue sa akin. I was also amazed on how it 'layered' tracks in front of you and the way the highs and lows dance dynamically. To be honest, I never felt this experience sa Audience 42 ko. Or even when i listened sa x12 on auditions back then. It was the overall musical experience I was looking for, you know, the way it sends shivers down to your spines? The Studio 20s won me (and in reference to sir qguy) for now...
So actually this was all done in sights and sounds sa Shang. The room was pretty small just like my room. It also simulated my living environments so I had the idea of how it would sound here. That, played a huge part too.
Sa tagal ng Audience 42 ko sakin, I never saw someone I cared for care about my hobby. I think that was the nail on the coffin din to see how my girl reacted. Dun ko naisip, kung almost katunog lang ng X12 ang Audience 42, I dont think it woudl have been a good investment to just repeat what I had. Definitely an upgrade.

I have the same speakers (Usher-719 and Cayin A-70t) with me for the past 5-6 years, Basically warm and forgiving, when I added an Infinity and solidstate amp, which was totally different sonic signature, Bright and Brash its the type of sonic signature that I avoided like the plague before, well when I fired it up, I was amazed that I was enjoying the sound, I got it because, it was affordable and I never had an infinity before ;D, the Cayin has not been used for the past month or so .... I guess pag nagsawa ako sa signature ng older Infinity and vintage Pioneer receiver, I would go back to my first love ;D
Mga guru's, noob question:
I've read here na mas ideal if same series ang partner.
Will it sound odd if I pair Wharfedale 9 or 10 cs with my Polk TSI 200 fronts?
TIA :)
So.. funnily enough, I ended up with something that wasn't on my list. A Paradigm Studio 20 v.5.Congratz on your acquisition! 8) Your Rotel's power matched and it can easily drive the Studio 20's 90db rating. Puyatan na naman ito!! ;) ;) ;)

unang-una syempre odd silang tingnan kung magkaiba ang drivers color or design..... ;Dpansamantala setup lang naman, bitin kasi pag ala center for movies.
sa sound naman depende how they will react on your electronics considering both produced by different company... :)
pansamantala setup lang naman, bitin kasi pag ala center for movies.
sound wise, will it sound odd or different? I dont know what terms to use :)
ganyan din ang setup ko noon magkaiba ang front at center.... ;D sa akin naman 'di ako madalas manood ng movie kaya ma importante sa akin ang main speakers.... :)
madalas ganyan ang setup natin pansamantala lang dahil seguro sa nature ng hobby natin gustong subukan ang iba-ibang tunog at combi. maliban segro kun itigil na natin makinig sa ibang system, pumunta sa showroomat tumingin online... pero mahirap 'ata mangyari dahil infected na tayo ng SARS... ;D
kaya ako makumpleto ko lang system ko, di muna ako titingin tingin... :)
by the way kamusta pala ang tunog pag magkaiba ang fronts sa center?
Which one much better Wharf 9.3 or wharf 10.2?using in front for music & movies..thanks
Can anyone recommend a bookshelf speaker which will be paired with a Rotel amp + Denon receiver for pure HT application?
http://www.headphiles.org/index.php?topic=2760.0
I think you will appreciate this review. :) personally i like the 685 followed by rtia3 as a very close second kung walang budget in mind. Kung may budget rtia3 - bang for your buck at 19990 srp, may discount pa yan sire sa mga suking tindahan. And at the marketplace meron for sale at 14k used(black) 15k used(cherry). Happy auditioning, hopefully one of the bookshelf speakers reviewed will please your ears. ;D

Thanks for taking time to answer my question. I am also leaning towards the 685 kaso the finish of B&W is not as nice as Monitor Audio. I came from the RS and the BR series of Monitor Audio before. Finish is fantasic, sound is so so, kaso I am not sure how it will pair with Rotel.
1. MA's and Rotels don't mix? (i'st like tuna and chocolate in one review i read).
2. Any chance B&W will have a new version of the 600 series?
3. Where to buy B&W? who gives the best deals?
Avshop sir sa may marketplace natin here sa pdvd. But if you are looking for a brick and mortar shop...almost all audio video shops carry b&w.avshop has a shop in qc :)
I'd love to go back to dynaudio. Next year na siguro, mag mid-level na ko pag kaya na ng electronics ko :D
oh and btw, kaya pala ko nag switch to PSB is because di ako happy sa finish ng nakuha kong Studio 20v.5. Galing sa magkaibang batch so yung finish nila medyo magkaiba so nagdagdag nalang ako ng cash para makuha ko yung One B.
Ibang dimonyo pumasok sakin sir. Nag PSB Synchrony One B nalang ako. I heard it with a dual mono Musical fidelity amp and was thoroughly impressed, so yes next upgrade ko is the amp :)nagpalit ulit hehehe....

can you recommend to me a 5.1 passive speaker set. I would like something that' s sounds okay, small and won't break the bank.

how about raon speakers i.e. konzert, dai-ichi, etc. may gumagamit ba dito?Madami din sir gumagamit niyan.
any recommendations for powered speakers?
for dorm use and source would probably only be an ipad or a phone.
can be a 2.0 or a 2.1 system

Hello all,
I've auditioned a pair of b&w 685's and im fairly decided to purhasing them in the near future to replace my klipsch speakers as my fronts for my HT set up and then just dedicate my Klipsch to an audio set up. I'll be using a pioneer 921-k avr thats hooked up to a power amp to drive the 685's, my question now ism which center should i get? the htm1 or the htm2? I have not auditioned the two center channels but wanted to get some insight before i take a trip to our local shops that will allow me to audition them. thanks in advance.
The HTM62 is supposedly what's made to match the 685.
http://www.bowers-wilkins.net/Speakers/Home_Audio/600_Series/HTM62.html (http://www.bowers-wilkins.net/Speakers/Home_Audio/600_Series/HTM62.html)
Of course, if you have the option to try both then that would be even better.

Actually, what makes it a dilemma for me is that i will eventually move to a 7.2 set up, so i'll be moving the 685's as either FH or FW or SB. By the time i do that, my fronts will most probably be 684's, so ok parin naman ang htm2, but if i get lucky and could afford 683's, mas bagay na ang htm1....hmmm, what to do what to do......
may pre out ba ung 921 for poweramp?
Then go for the HTM1 bro baka wala nang atrasan sa 683 in the future :D
aba now ko lang yan alam pwede pala yan....hihihihi...very good
kung gagawin mo lang surround ung 685 in the future benta mo nalang saken..
pangaudio ko hehe..
thanks brader
Budget ? Size restrictions ? How loud do you want it to play ?
Wala po sir derrick but i have a 5channel line out converter which allowed me to connect the 921 to a power amp. Gawa po ni diy king markcrenz :)pano loob nito classmate? :D

Yan, you have to ask Don King markcrenz kasi siya may gawa niyan. "Proprietary" components. Haha!
Napansin ko, monster banana plugs pala gamit. Do you have issues na lumuluwag katagalan?
Wala pa naman master nelson, so far ah...
Nakabili kasi ako ng preowned niyan. Mabilis lumuwag. And even if i pry it para lumaki, kapag plug ko, lumuluwag din.
Gudpm po...im not sure if it is the right thread pero pa help narin po...i have a klipsch promedia 5.1...kapag kasi pinapatay ko yun pc nid ko pa patayin yun switch ng promedia bago ko patayin yun switch ng avr..pag di kasi napatay...pag switch off ko na yun avr at bukas yun promedia nagkakaroon feedback dun sa speaker like a boom sound...masakit kasi sa tenga eh lalo kung malakas yun volume...ano po kaya ang cause nun or meron po ba ibang way to prevent it?thank you..
mga sirs anong magandang speakers to mate with my 818? room is midsize, ive heard wharfdales and polk. both are nice. my local shop quoted tsi 300, tsi 100, cs 10 and a usaudio 512t. may other option ba i can look into?sir just to clarify, your local shop quoted you P512k for the TSI set?
sir just to clarify, your local shop quoted you P512k for the TSI set?hehehe he means us audio 512
mga magkano kaya sir for a decent 5.1 or 7.1 setup? based sa quote dito its around 50k for the tsi + sw.go for rti nalang sir really good for movies :)
which series sir or any will do? tapos can i get decent sound for music din or movies lang?any sir depends on your budget. For music for me its good but you also have to hear it for yourself. But if you're not an audiophile or coming from htib I can it will be a thousand times better :)
which series sir or any will do? tapos can i get decent sound for music din or movies lang?what sounds good for music usually sounds good for movies. make sure you've tested the speakers to death. you don't want to regret buying speakers. there a long term investment.
on my way to audition some brands sir. get back to you on the choices here.goodluck and happy hunting!
what a waste of time, ang traffic pa naman. they have the jbl cinema 300 on stock. polks have to be ordered....i took a look at the prices its the same as the other avshops here. ano kaya if i open a shop here. hehemas mabuti na konti shops para to avoid upgrade temptation hehe

hhaha. tama. yun din sinabi ni kumander ;Dsir from htib --> 818+RTi you won't go wrong and the difference with your upgrade will be massive I'm sure you will be happy with it. Sa subs naman SVS lang :)
so mga sirs, por pabor help me na choose my speakers hehe.

hahahahah SVS is the way, pero ang mahal ng kulam mo bro! lol...a very good sub in the market that has excellent reviews is the Jamo 650, fairly priced at below 20K...and for a non HMR price, ok na yan.sir if 20k budget for subs I will go for the new svs series na http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,172950.0.html :)

actually, I have plans to visit in the summer, para maiba naman...puro nalang Boracay eh. When I visited Crimson last May I was amazed with the place and just have to go back! I'd be honored to audition your set by then. :)ganda pairing nung onkyo 805 ko at rtia series ....
Stick with your RTI choice if you have listened to them and like them, I've always wanted to get RTi A3's kaso nauwi ako sa B&W lol. Very nice ang Rti na series, you wont go wrong with them, lalo na Onkyo ang driver. If you are going to target wharf's naman, try to pair it with a pioneer / yamaha receiver. :)
+1
on the new svs sub.

2) superset 3 & superset3c (what can i use here for surrounds and sub?)
3) genesis set/anthony audio

i spent the afternoon yesterday listening to tsi400, tsi300, wharfdales, rtia3. rtia7, b&w and us audio subs.they dont have on stock the rtia5. listening to a tsi300, tsi 400, rtia3 and rtia7 with a sub, i couldnt tell much difference between them. but without a sub, definitely the rtia7 and b&w sounded better. were my ears so "noob" that i couldnt tell much diff between them? so my question is with prices/budget factored in which one should i get?

Why? If I go for a3 I still need to get some decent stands konti nalang a5 na. If a5 naman I might miss out on lows if I listen to stereo mode and the type of music I listen to even if I'm using dual subs I just like 2 ch pag music eh

@greatauror28
audition other brands within the same or lower price range. ;)
@all
which of the following would you guys recommend as my HT's next upgrade?:
GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array (52k)
JBL ES10 bookshelf + JBL ES25C Center Channel (total ~24k)
SVS PB-1000 Subwoofer (26k)
my current setup consists of the following:
Display: LG 42LK450 (I plan to replace this with a 3D 1080P plasma eventually)
Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 265
Front: JBL ES10
btw, I don't use the Whafedale SW150 with my HT. it's currently the subwoofer for my pc audio. ;)
for practicality, since you already have es10 for your fronts, get both the es10, es25c and svs. now you got 5.1 channel. compared to goldenear priced at 52k, you still have change of 2thou,take out your wife on a date for 2k. at least both of you will be happy...
I'm planning to buy a Bose Cinemate GS II speakers for a no-brainer, superb sound setup with zero hassle on my part. But the question is "Is it worth it"?
I've sampled them at Best Buy and it certainly blew me and my wife away.
Any recommendations beside them at a cheaper price (or equal) would be appreciated.
lol! I'm still single. ;D with the 2k left over, I'll have cash to take any girl I like on a date! 8)
hahaha...ok sorry for that....take someone with you on a date, 1thou on one girl and the other 1thou, take them separately in a day, morning and evening..hahahaha...
when you got a chance to hear other set ups, thats the time that you'd feel for yourself.

up ko lang mga sir
thanks for the reply sir here is my avr pioneer VSX520k 3d ready 110watts per channel 5.1is 520 110watts? lakas hehe..
guys, I also plan to do a budget 2.0 tube setup for our dining room tv. I plan to get a Sakura AV200T tube amp + a bookshelf speaker. would a Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 be a good match for the Sakura? Diamond 9.0 sana balak ko, pero 15-75W lang ang power handling nito. the 200W Sakura might fry it! hehe!
There is a sakura thread, visit mo yon. Its not 200wpc, iirc its 200w pmpo. Maayos ang sakiura but id suggest having it modified by the tube masters. If you plan to use wharf and a hybrid sakura be prepared for a very laid back to almost dark sound.
If I'm not satisfy with the outcome of my 2.1 system, I will consider your option sir. thanks
Hi Guys, im new to this whole audiophile thing and i saw a Genius SP-HF1201A speaker being sold at a warehouse sale for only P500.
is this a good buy? the description of the item says that it has a damaged box
would appreciate feedbacks on this please :)
thanks!
Mag sir ano po kaya magandang floorstander speaket to pair with Onkyo 818 budget around 20K 60% pang audio?kung pang audio seperate ka nalang sir..iba tunog ng integrated amp sa receiver
Thanks sir ipon mode na lang muna pagtiyagaan ko muna yung free speaker niya kasama. Ano po ba ok na FS na kayang i drive ng maayos ng 818?
May i ask po kung anong purpose? Its a relatively small speaker.
hi sir, ill mainly use it for PS3 gaming / movie watching in my room and the occasional music.
would it already be sufficient for my purpose? :)
thanks
Thanks sir ipon mode na lang muna pagtiyagaan ko muna yung free speaker niya kasama. Ano po ba ok na FS na kayang i drive ng maayos ng 818?
Thanks mga sir for the advice. Either mag ipon muna for a good FS or BS muna then add na lang FS later.
Thanks mga sir for the advice. Either mag ipon muna for a good FS or BS muna then add na lang FS later.
plus at 20k and 60% audio there aren't any good choices for FS. pwede 2nd hand abang abang nga lang :)
Entry level lang ang affordable at 20k. 2nd hand talaga ang sagot kung FS ang habol.
::) pag may happy to help sa huli baka hindi maclassify na pangungulam hihihi. >:D
Hindi makakalusot yan pangungulam pa din yan..tapos kung gusto nya mag HT may center dyan baka iforsale ulit haha...
Para hindi OT...
Try PSB Image series... abot sa budget na 20k yung B6, may sukli pa pambili nang cables at banana plugs

hi newbie here. hehe
i feel that i'm asking at the wrong thread but i don't know where else to ask so here goes...
i was supposed to buy a Samsung HT E350 for my father-in-law but the seller ran out of stock. Can you recommend something around 7k which can replace that home theater package. thanks!
any recommendation for this one? ;) or you can point me to the right thread if i'm in the wrong one. thanks!http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/board,65.0.html
First Time Home Theatre Buyer here... any advise po? As of now... my only sounds is an Altec Lansing 2.1 Speaker :c
Good day guys...need help here for choice of speaker...soon will be having amx 6l6 tube amp with 25W rating...im considering BS products of kef, psb, polk and aaudio...budget: 18-22k...im a newbie with no experience in hifi at all...it would be best to listen first to all these mention speakers but your inputs are highly appreciated...salamat po

The psb alpha and image line are very easy to power, the same with the polk tsi and rti line but they have 2 different characteristics. Psb is warm sounding while polk leans towards bright. In my own opinion, tube amps are a perfect match for speakers with ribbon tweeters, it may be more expensive though. Choices on top of my head are golden ear aon and dali ikons. I suggest you bring your amp when you audition so you would be able to find a match to your liking.
thanx guys..appreciate it very much...any comments on kef q300?
the q300 uses a very efficient coaxial design. the dispersion is wide and creates a bigger soundstage. haven't tried a tube amp on it though but i have listened to an older kef iq9 and a cayin integrated amp and that combination was awesome.
how much is your budget? what roomsize will you use it for?
Good to know it sir.. might a good potential that they match with tubes...thanks a lot.
yes, i suggest it's better if you bring your amp to test it with the q300 to see if it will partner well. if you could stretch your budget a bit, you can try the aurum cantus v2m. this has to be the only speaker that doesn't sound well with a solidstate amp but was perfectly beautiful with tubes. also include on your list the monitor audio rx2 bookshelf, i also liked the combination of these speakers with tubes.
Hi Guys,
Any recommendation for a nice bookshelf speaker for my HK AVR 340?
I'm leaning towards Polk TSI 100 over Wharfedale Diamond 10.1,
Mainly stereo music listening and can be upgraded over the time,
my room's area is around 15 sq.mtr
I'm currently using a vintage Polk Audio SDA CRS II.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi Guys,
I just stumbled upon these forums after doing research on a budget audio setup for my pc. Was originally going for swans hivi m50w 2.1 speakers but found out i can get wharfs 10.1 for cheaper price but requires an amp which i know costs a lot more. Im a newbie when it comes to audio.
Anyone can recommend a good pc setup for 10-15k? or is this too low for a budget setup
My speaker upgrade choice boils down to Xavian XN 250 and Sonus Faber Minuetto (pre-owned).
I found out that ribbon tweeters are a bit bright for my audio taste(but I love them on HT).
Now which one would you guys recommend? ;D
I love them both pero cyempre isa lang ang kayang makuha...
Napapakanta tuloy ako ng......."Sana dalawa ang puso ko" ;D
what will happen to the goldenears sir?
Nasa HT pa din bro...
And they will stay there until magkaroon ng Aon 3 version 2 ;D
Audioengine A5 ;)

for a pc audio setup i recommend you use a usb dac like musiland 01. there is a night and day difference in output against just using the regular 3.5mm jack from your pc. the sound will become thicker and more refined. the details will also be more noticeable. then you can scout our marketplace for an integrated amp and speaker that can fit your budget.
Pang audio mo ito diba? Ayaw mo ipunan yung strauss?
tama, since 6-digit ang budget ni don master louie sa speaker, dun ka na sa bagong sf liuto monitors 8)
Would this be better than a sound card like the xonar essence?
5 digits lang budget brader. Masyado nang mahal yan, hehehe

Naku 170K yan sis... Masyado nang mahal, hindi na reasonable...

mag xavian 270 ka na sir louie. :) or you myt want to consider the liuto, i think, 150k net more or less including the stands. or harbeth c7es3 for 150k. i think no one will go wrong with these choices.
Pwede kung magdodonate kayo... ;D
magdodonate ako ng suggestions O0

Master G almost 200K na yung liuto BS :'(
Ask mo don master idol kina rex, matutuwa ka sa dealer discount nila ;D around as much as sir dodie's suggestion, may speaker stands na. The SF Toy Tower also sounds great, sans the really ugly name.
Mga masters/gurus,
Please help me decide for my speaker fronts because im planning to upgrade my BS(Monitor Audio BR2) into floorstander. I'm torn between the PSB Image T6 and/or POLK RTiA7. Currently my AVR is ONKYO 515.
My preference is 50% audio & 50% video, although i know everybody here will suggest to have a separates (audio) and also audition the speakers, just my personal pref. lang po sana of which between the 2 (speaker) can still satisfy my needs.
Any suggestions/recommendations will be very much appreciated mga sirs.
More power to all PDVD members!!!

Concern ko lang is baka mahirapan idrive ng Onkyo 515 ang T6 or A7...Sir Louie, you mean to say i have to upgrade my AVR also? Sayang kakabili ko lang sir ng avr ko last sept.
You want to upgrade to a FS because you moved to a bigger room?Sir Timithekid, sa living room lang po yung set-up ko.
Your avr is rated at 130wpc @ 6 ohms, 1khz @ 1 channel driven...i think thats a little weak to drive the a7 who at 89db sensitivity isnt the most efficient speaker out there. Same goes for the T6. Medyo mas bagay po ata BS sa inyo or a smaller FS...like a tsi 300 if you really want polk or the alpha t1 if you insist on PSB.
Hello Sir, based from those 2 choices, the psb t6 should be easier to drive. based on ht lab measures, it's rated at 91db. actually my old onkyo 608 which is a minor step up in power against the 515 powers it very well.Sir, sorry for my ignorance in terms of khz or db sa mga electronics, but you mean ok naman po sa AVR ko ang T6 for my audio & HT use? I bought my whole 5.1 system with HK as my AVR pa kay Sonny Tuazon (RIP) pa kasi last 2003 then si sonny din ang nag-set up. Wala talaga ako alam sa mga terminologies and speaker matching since mawala si sonny. Ngayon lang sana ako mag-uupgrade.
Sir Louie, you mean to say i have to upgrade my AVR also? Sayang kakabili ko lang sir ng avr ko last sept.Sir Timithekid, sa living room lang po yung set-up ko.
Try nyo po dalhin yung avr nyo sa mga dealers like sa watt hifi in Makati Cinema Square. Meron silang demo unit ng PSB T6 doon para matry nyo performance nya with the Onkyo 515Sir Louie, thanks!
sensya sir di ko naexplain ng maayos :) the sensitivity of the t6 is 91db, the higher the sensitivity the easier it is to drive. so kaya naman nyang onkyo 515 mo to drive the psb. to test if pasok sa taste niyo yung pairing, you can bring your onkyo avr to what hifi in makati cinema square to test it with psb. you can also pm otep_32 to ask if he has any entry level avrs to test it with para hindi niyo na kelangan buhatin yung onkyo.
Hello to the masters, this isn't a brand specific request, more of a size recommendation... I'm trying to find the smallest full range bookshelf (passive, of course) that is currently available... here's why, I'm trying to set up a "hybrid system" that consists of the afforementioned bookshelves, a T-amp which runs on batteries (dayton dta-1), and a powered sub...
The reason for this is I want to be able to "detach" the satellites, when going on out-of-town trips, hence the battery powered amp, and use the full setup when at home...
The smallest pair I know of are the Audioengine A2s, but they are active... I found some mirage (http://www.miragespeakers.com/bookshelf-speakers/?sku=NANOSAT-BS) satellites, part of a 5.1 setup but are sold individually on Amazon, but they only go to 110Hz... If you guys have better alternatives, please do let me know!
mag xavian 270 ka na sir louie. :) or you myt want to consider the liuto, i think, 150k net more or less including the stands. or harbeth c7es3 for 150k. i think no one will go wrong with these choices.
Concern ko lang is baka mahirapan idrive ng Onkyo 515 ang T6 or A7...
Hi Sirs,
noobie here as well. i just recently bought a Yamaha RXV373. Seeking recommendation on what 5.1 speakers to use -- preferably mid level floorstanders.
thank you pdvd!
mid level speakers requires more juice..
hanap nalang ng mataas na sensitivity
Hi PDVD! Can you recommend a good floor standing speakers with 2 drivers in the 100-120k budget? Should have "pogi" and elegant design. Will be used for both HT and audio. Un sanang may pdeng ka partner na center speakers.
Something like the VA Mozart Grand ;D
salamat sir louie. siguro yan ung mga gusto mo makunan ng WAF noh? ;D
Aurum Cantus V6f ;)

Hindi makakalusot yan pangungulam pa din yan..
Para hindi OT...
Try PSB Image series... abot sa budget na 20k yung B6, may sukli pa pambili nang cables at banana plugs
Ano po ba magandang speaker wires (gauge#) to use and banana plugs?
Thanks....

brader david mukhang kinukulam mo ung sarili mo ah...haha
hahaha! saka na ang FS. maybe in 2014 or 2015. ;D :PRecommend a speaker for yourself - ginawa mo sa title haha..
I have a HK 160 avr and Diamond 9s Wharfedales. Planning to replace my Wharfs, what would you suggest to be the next level of speakers I should consider for my 7.1 setup?
Hi mga gurus. Which is better to match with my onkyo 818? Polk RTi A9 or PSB Image T6? Will use mostly for movies. Thanks
Hi mga gurus. Which is better to match with my onkyo 818? Polk RTi A9 or PSB Image T6? Will use mostly for movies. Thanks
If mostly movies I would suggest the A9s with CSi A6... Onkyo and Polk are very good for movies!
But the T6 is also very capable. Might as well audition both. I think Watt hifi in Makati Cinema Square has Onkyo and PSB for audition.
How big is the room?
hi. hingi po sana ako ng advice kung anong magandang speaker po na pang bluetooth sa ipod or iphone na pwedeng pangtravel international, so compact lang sya.
Mga sir, planning to buy a speaker this weekend...
Ano pong mas ok Wharfedale 10.5 or 155?
Or may maisusuggest pa po kayong iba na same price or lower than 17k? preferably floor-stander speakers.
BTW will be using a pioneer receiver.
Thanks!
Mga sir, planning to buy a speaker this weekend...I'd go with the 10.5. The build quality of the new wharfs are not impressive. Aesthetic-wise the 10 series beats these newer models by a mile.

Other options you can go take a look at are mission speakers. Stretching your budget a bit can also make you get a psb alpha tower. These should be easier to power than wharfdales.

Yes sir, with your budget you can easily complete a 5-channel speaker set. What Hifi in Makati Cinema Square, MLY along kalayaan QC, Sights and Sounds in Edsa Shang carries them.
Hi Sir, does this psb speakers comes in set? ano po store carries this brand? :)

Hi guys, can you recommend a good 5.1 satellite/sub for a small room and will be used 50/50 music/movie. Im eyeing the B&W MT60D and already asked around here for its price. MT60D is still within my budget but maybe you can give me a suggestion to stretch my option. Thanks in advance.

Hello. Need recommendation for low budget 2.1 setup please. Budget is around P15,000 max, including the amp, speakers and sub.
Initially i'm looking at the setup below. Please feel free to provide your much appreciated inputs.
A-Audio Genesis Floorstanders
T-Amp connected to Fiio Taishan DAC connected to my Samsung Plasma optical out
Sub - No idea on this. Mirage Omni S8?
Thanks!
Also, I might be limited to 2.1 only since I dont have enough space. No need to consider upgrade to 5.1.
Mga Audiophile gurus,
What BS speaker and integrated amplifier can you recommend for pure audio which is warm to neutral sound in nature budget 50 to 60k.

To add on those excellent suggestions, I like the Monitor Audio RX2 + NAD C326. Sakto din on your budget. It's laid back, warm sounding with great bass weight.dun parin ako sa rega mo bro ;D
what's better sounding, the B&W DM303 speakers or the Bose Acoustimass speakers?
OHH man, no offense but even to attached the word BOSE to the sentence w/ the presence of B&W, BOSE has no rights. its like Bugatti being compared to Hyundai.Nothing really wrong with bose... Unless you are comparing a small one against a bigger speaker.
Nothing really wrong with bose... Unless you are comparing a small one against a bigger speaker.
For what its worth, medyo late na rin yung reply mo, 2002 pa yung post na yun eh....
;D my bad d ko nkita date. yup, nothings wrong with it, we have different sounding taste the only thing is bose is not my cup of tea. the price didn't coincide the performance. lifestyle 135 almost $4000 online maybe $5000 on hifi stores. performance wise marami ka makuha na mas maganda by far on that budget and i'm sure you'll agree with me. for me bose is a rip off. that's only my opinion.
pricewise I can probably agree with you, unfortunately there are many reasons why prices differ... Maraming choices... But some bose models could put other speaker to shame too sq wise...
I agree with you not all bose are bad. presyo lng kc problema ng bose, there are some models of bose that could easily beat other good brand of speakers in terms of sounding performance but I can assure you the price of that bose is a sky high. the only thing I don't understand is "the price", and subject of this thread is speaker recommendation, so for me, why not give the guy a true info. I don't mean to offend those bose owners, me myself got bose pc speaker ;D. even here where I am now, hifi stores don't sell bose you can see them in department stores, I have ask the agents before they said straight to my face that they are crap for the price. as they said as soon as customers started to auditioned decent brand of speakers the bose is no where to find in their mouth, which is true, before I bought my home theatre most forum sites didn't recommend the bose as they said too pricey.You are correct about the price, unfortunately the title says nothing about the price.
Thats the power of perception and expectation. Bose is considered a luxury brand by mainstream consumers. Para bang high-end Krell speakers or Magico ang ''dating'' para sa ating audio enthusiasts. However, the sound quality is massively subjective and extremely debatable ang mga opinion.
There's a reason why I dont listen to Whathifi reviews anymore. I personally consider their reviewers kind of "audiophool-ish", and flat-earth oriented. But it doesnt mean they are wrong. Same goes with the opinion of people in the forums and audio groups. You just have to find the same people with the same feather as yours.
Bose lifestyle 18... ^-^
At monitor audio for the living room.
by the way boss doddie sorry d kita npansin 3 pa pla tyo ;D. AHA :o na offend yta kita. sorry boss just trying to inform the guy what is right in my thinking. I almost get that lifestyle before as well, na explain kc skin ng agent ng hifi store dito kya medyo naka save din ng konti sa budget dati. by the way how's the performance of MA? BX2 is one of my list before to hooked up my yaqin. very good review on that speaker, d lang kc yan available sa hifi store dito kya d ko na auditioned.
I agree with bro timbre Bose lifestyle fits well and looks nice especially when wall mounted, space saver ika nga tsaka elegante. Regardless of price maybe unbeatable for its size when compared to other brand.
i agree with you man bose is quiet elegant looking, but to be unbeatable for its size? i don't know but every time im off from work i always auditioned ht or other speakers, i dont wanna be hambog but recent lifestyle coudnt edge anthony gallo adiva ti and im very thankful for the agent from harvey norman for recommending me that speakers. but thats only me in my sounding taste.Good for you. You have your taste we have ours, no need to bash our gears!
Good for you. You have your taste we have ours, no need to bash our gears!
In what sense do you mean the anthony gallo is better than the bose anyway? Cheaper?
please recommend a 2.1 speaker. will be using it mainly for PC. budget is around 4k and below. trip ko kasi yung mga rnb and hiphop na music kaya boomy setup ang gusto ko. paminsan minsan movies kaya mas ok din kung malinaw yung tipong di overpowering yung bass

Guys, which one is better, Wharfedale 10.2 or Tannoy Mercury V1? I think both have the same price range. Thanks
Factors to consider:
1. Audio or HT?
2. What is amplifier brand?
Hi, I'd like to set them up with Dayton Audio DTA 100-a T-Amp, this is basically for both music and movies. I have my Mac mini in place with a 39inch Devant LED TV. Using PLEX as a Media Center. I have an old pro-logic Pioneer AV Receiver as well. Thanks. Will set this up in the living room. A not so big area where 5.1 speakers is impractical.
if you like both speakers you may want to look for other amplifiers,86db lang kasi sensitivity nila and they need higher wattage amp to drive them properly,tutunog naman yan kaya lang baka hindi "match" yung speakers and amp,kung hindi ka critical listener and ang gusto mo ay yung madinig mo lang yung audio ok na yan.kung meron ka na nung DTA-100A bring it to the store para ma audition mo yung mga speakers tutal maliit lang naman yan pwedeng pwede bitbitin kahit saan. nagkaroon na ako ng DTA-100a before and i paired it to a 89db speaker ok naman yung tunog para sa akin maganda pero nung nasubukan ko kasi ibang amp sa speakers ko doon ko napansin na mas match pala sya sa higher wattage amp mas lumitaw yung low freq at hindi ko na kailangang itodo ang volume.

My budget would range from 30k - 50k. I'm also open to pre-owned hardware systems as long as the items are in very good condition and mejo bago pa :)
AVR that I might check:
Yamaha RX375 = 17k
Pioneer VSX523 = 16,990
or
Yamaha RX475 = 23k (Yamaha RX575 = 25k 7.2) ok kaya yung 2k na upgrade?
Pioneer VSX823 = 24,990
Are there other brands on the same price range? Anong Speakers kaya ang bagay dito?
Once I have selected yung speakers then off to audition!
hi guys what are the difference between the local brand of speakers to other imported or well known speakers . . like konzert, crown, daiichi vs kevler, phonic etc. . tnxx
Noon question :)
RTi A1 or FXi A4? Will be used as Surrounds Speakers for HT 5.1 setup
konting explanation is much appreciated!
I'm currently using Polk TSi300 fronts with CS10, TSi100 & omni s8 subs. I'm thinking of replacing the fronts with RTi A7. ok lng po ba o dapat TSi series din?
ano po kayang speakers at pede sa home karaoke and for watching movies? budget po for speakers mga 8k.
Please recommend an all around stereo speaker, halos lahat kc ng genre ng music pinapakinggan ko, paiba iba ang mood ko, sometimes gusto q ng heart pounding, sometimes jazz, Acoustic naman kung minsan...please please
10 to 15k bossing
How about recommendations for a low profile centre speaker? Budget from low to medium.
How about recommendations for a low profile centre speaker? Budget from low to medium.
Hi all,
My current set-up:
Denon 1713
Mission M73 (fronts)
Mission M7C1 (center)
Mission M70 (rear)
Velo CHT (sub)
The Denon 1713 is new. And because I just upgraded my receiver, I am now itching to "upgrade" my speakers.
I read somewhere that one should spend 2 or 3 times the worth of your receiver for speakers. Assuming that to be true, I should be looking at speakers in the 30-45k range.
My current options are:
Option 1 - Zensor 5 (fronts) + Vokal (center) and maintain my rear speakers; or
Option 2 - Boston Acoustics A250 (fronts) + A225 (center).
Option 3 - just keep my current set up
My worry is that I am just so happy about my new amp that I am rushing to buy new speakers and will just hear what I want to hear - that these new speakers sound far better than my current ones. Hahaha. Should price (of the speakers) even be a consideration?
Thoughts anyone?
Still option 1 for me.
Thanks for quick response. Kind of leaning towards that as well :)
Btw, may I get your thoughts on this as well -
when I was first buying my speakers, I was told to buy the floorstander version because at that time, I couldn't afford yet to buy the subwoofer. now that I have a subwoofer already, should I be looking at book shelf speakers (for example the Dali Zensor 1 or 3), rather than floorstanders?

Part 3 of my query (with revised options):
Option 1 - Zensor 5 (fronts) + Vokal (center) and maintain my rear speakers; or
Option 2 - Lektor 3 (fronts) + Lektor center and maintain my rear speakers;
Option 3 - Mission MX3 (fronts) + MXC2 or MXC3 (center)
Option 4 - Polk Rti A3 (fronts) + Csi A6 (center) and maintain my rear speakers;
Thoughts?
My current set-up being:
20sqm room, but listening area is only 10sqm.
Denon 1713
Mission M73 (fronts)
Mission M7C1 (center)
Mission M70 (rear)
Velo CHT (sub)
^ if you only have 2 channel sepakers for now..I would go for the sub..there is a good deal on a dsw500 on the MP now..add center next :D
Yes sir! napareserve ko nanga e :) Ok ba yung sub na yun sir? Compared to Klipsch SW450?
BTW, ano mas ok na fronts? Zensor1 or yung Paradigm Monitor 7?
Thanks
Yes for me ok sya..hindi ko sya afford noon kaya iba kinuha ko..great deal na yan IMO for the price..na ttempt na ako kunin yan kasi walang pumapansin haha kaso pigil pigil muna
I have no experience with the two brands..but you won't go wrong sa dalawa..as long as the budget permits..best to demo them sir..dun ka lang mapapalagay sa pag pili sa kanila
^The Zensors should be coming in April, per Epoy of AA. Kung kaya ng EQ mo :)
Goodpm PDVDers..
Tanong ko lang, ano mga recommended in-wall speakers nyo? Application for music sa living room ceiling.. Preferably white para di pansinin..
Budget is around 30k per pair, kelangan ko 2 pairs so 60k? Give or take..
And also a receiver narin, ung pede ma turn on over wifi. (Budget, the cheaper the better 20k-30k'ish?)
Thanks and more power! ;D
get the GoldenEar Invisa series! ;)

Hi Sirs, new to PinoyDVD. would like to ask your inputs. Ano pong on-wall speakers (soundbar or 2.1, etc.) ang marererecommend nyo sakin. basically, i like to have it wall mounted, slim design. ok lang di hi powered since di ko naman itotodo ang sound. ok lang din hindi hi fi or pang audiophile. for movies use and casual TV watching (btw, will be using it for a 42in LED TV). how much is the cheapest decent you can recommend? thanks
I noticed that there are folks here who have "audio only" set ups, with dedicated CD players or turntables or other digital sources and amps specially made audio/stereo.
Are there speakers (brand or model) which are more for audio than HT?

Meron din si Polk Audio.Will be checking this out. Since the Goldenear is out of my price range. (locally) :(
monitor audio. pati sub in wall din! :DWow, in-wall sub.. Definitely checking this..
Mga bro, need your suggestions. I have a Q acoustics 2050Si floorstander speaker, 2000Ci and driven by Yamaha RXV375 AV. What I'm looking is the sub woofer, what will be your recommendation this?
Thank you.
Im starting a new HT setup for the place I will be transferring to by May. I am looking at getting either a Yamaha 573 or 575 or Pioneer 1020/1021/1022.
Since I have limited space, I will go for four BS and a Center. What are your recommendations with a budget of no more than 15k?
Thanks.
Add a little more and you can get the PSB Image B6. I have paired this with my Yamaha and it sounded awesome for both Movies and Music... I think it's around 16k+. Try to audition it at Watts Hi fi or AVSHOP
Anyone here using AAudio or Wharefs on these receivers?
Thanks for your input, they are both at EDSA Shang mall right? Will audi them this weekend.
Hi, if you were to choose a floorstander speaker, what would you recommend?
a display unit B&W 683 or a brand new Q acoustics 2050i?
my current setup
front: sony ss-x9s
rear : polk tsi 100
c: polk cs10
Onkyo TX-NR709
sub : boston acoustics ASW250
Thank you!
If your already using a Polk Audio center and bookshelf, why don't you consider the Polk Audio TSX330 floorstanding. It will match your other speakers better then the B&W and Q acoustics.
Mga master ano po ba ok na soundbar my budget 15-20k.salamat po
Is the difference of Polk CSi A4 sa A6 eh worlds apart?
Will I hear a huge change from my measly cs10 center speaker? I rarely put the volume beyond 40 in my Onkyo 515 AVR.
hello mga sir,
pa recommend po ng slim/compact surround speakers, currently I just have 2 options in mind:
Tannoy Mercury Vr and Polk Audio owm3
I personally saw Tannoy Mercury Vr already and I like its slim form factor, I'm just not sure if it will blend well with my current setup (sound wise).
My current setup is AVR Pioneer 523k and Wharf Dentons for fronts.
Please recommend a surround speaker that will have a good match with my current setup.
Budget around 10k
Thanks! :)
thank you sir nelson.
san kaya ako maka audition ng polk owm3?
haven't seen one in malls
thank you sir nelson.
san kaya ako maka audition ng polk owm3?
haven't seen one in malls
you can also try visiting Listen Up in Glorietta or The Listening Room in MegaMall. they both sell Polk audio.
parecommend naman po ng 2.0 bookshelf speakers, ikakabit ko lang sa optical out ng tv ko.
nothing fancy po, pampalakas lang sa mga mahinang source.
yung direct na po makakabit sa out ng TV. Active ba yun, or powered (sorry newb). ganun.
mostly movies and TV series po gagamitin.
researched on JBL SB100. good feedbacks, mostly. thanks for the recommendation sir DTNS!
now, where to source this bad boy?
Can you guys suggest an entry level home theater setup?should i go HTIB or DIY? I already have a tv but thats it hehe. Budget is 10 to 15k im a basshead. HT will be primarily used for movies and music. Thanks guys
[/quote
yun Samsung yata may nilabas na tube HTIB....
For reference: my fronts are Polk Audio TSi 300's, my Center's CS 10.
As much as I would love to get TSi 300's as my surrounds, the room wouldn't allow it to happen. (If you have time, I've posted mine over at HT Gallery under XPeak's Home Theater)
And like I've posted, the size of the "upgrades" would have to be similar to my existing speakers.
The bookshelves of Polk Audio ranges from 12" to 14" of height, which is too tall and will hit a lot of furniture on the room such as the drapes mechanism, curtain coves, etc.
My sats: http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tl1
I know it's a difficult situation, but I do know know much with regards to brands, etc... Thanks in advance, sir.
If wala talagang makita sir, baka pwd DiY n lang nang bracket na a bit forward or may spacer just enough d tatama s drapes. Para within pa rin s 3ft s ear level at 90-110' un side surround. Then FXi A4 / A6.
Thanks for all the ideas.
I can actually fit OMW3, but it would require weird placement. Ung sa left ko horizontal, sa right naman vertical, sa likod both verticals. Hehe. Hindi ba maaapektuhan ang soundfield?
I'm looking at OMW3's based on Frequency Response.
I'm also looking for speaker mounts as suggested by crazyhog.
Thanks guys!
How about in-ceiling speakers? ;)
If wala talagang makita sir, baka pwd DiY n lang nang bracket na a bit forward or may spacer just enough d tatama s drapes. Para within pa rin s 3ft s ear level at 90-110' un side surround. Then FXi A4 / A6.
Anyone here compared da-ichi or crown HT systems(especially the FS, the new ones ha) to wharf(diamonds)? Just as good you think, basing on auditions or do you own both? Been deciding on which to buy. I feel their almost the same somewhat. But need general comments on this to solidify my claim, and buy it already! Because I've been prowling for a month or so for FS! What other brands can you recommend? I don't need brand names huh with hype on the side because the speaker tech right now is decent enough to offer good audio at meager prices. (Pioneer andrew Jones, Micca Mb42x, Fluance especially the SX series, wla lng dito sa pinas eh or mahal(pioneer)) Thanks. :) Budget 5-10k. Audio pref: I eat anything except Hip hop.budget 5 - 10 k? entire music/ht system?

Ooops! My bad. As if meron na 5k n kumpletong 5.1 that would reach audiophile thumbs up? (Energy take classic? wla rin dito ???)Haha. FS lng. Been to listening in style s shang knina. Inaudi ko ung missions mx series FS(Ung pinakamaliit, 22k). It was sweet... Lalo n ung separation, pati instrumental placement. Ang lki ng stage, medyo kahilo. Ung infinity primus nmn.... hhmmm... As detailed as the Missions pero lacking in sound stage? No clue... Hndi n ako nangahas magrequest pa ng ibang material ksi nababad n ako dun sa missions. haha. Kahiya na. Then of with the crown... Inaudi ko sa Crown showroom sa St. Francis Square... The BF655... And this... ewan ko lng ah.. bka may mga mag violent reaction dito... Lupet ng detail, almost the same as the missions and the infinity primus (newbies ears), lacking lang in refinement, medyo bright, screaching in higher vol. and undefined sound staging(wala n halos syang staging actually). Pero sa pagkain ng low freq. it can go and go (eto lng siguro plus niya.). Better than the missions? Ndi ko rin msyado mapinpoit, ksi hndi damped dun sa crown showroom. medyo tunog banyo. But yeah, for 7k, it can. Considering n sakura amp tsaka lumang toshiba player lng gmit nila dun then undamped pa. But then again, your memory can only retain 50-80 percent of what you last heard. Kaya konting alalay lng sa pangungulm ko. haha. Punta nlng kayo dun, for those people n nagtitipid, at wlng pakelam s brand but the sound n pdeng makuha without selling your liver. Go! P.S. hndi ako seller ng Crown, Newbie excitement lng so please be kind :) Hope my opinion helped! *end of rant*
Congrats sir! Kinuha niyo na yun crown? Ano po ang meaning ng damped?I smell sarcasm. Pero eto : controlled or restrained. :) ung pader dun walng damping. damped walng foam, acoustic treatment whatever the crap that was. You get the point. :)

Sir Gabsilog. Kung ok lang na stretch ng konting ang budget for speaker FS. There's A-audio Genesis 12k lang ata sa speaker section ng Pdvd. Ok yun.in terms of music and HT.Ou nga e. Maganda yng kay sir anthony, konting ipon lng. Thank you s suggestion Sir George. How about s amp? May maissugest k b n 2X100wpc? 5k? sorry sa abala. tnx tnx. :)
happy haunting.
george
My apologies kung sarcasm for you. It was not my honest intention. Iba iba kasi minsan ang definition ng tao sa damped. I just wanted to clear it. I hope you understand. And yes sir, i get your point na.Nabasa ko ksi stat mo ser. It reflected n mrmi k ng experiences s audio world. 7000 post and counting in here. Hehe. Nagtaka lng ako bakit mo ako tinanung ng ganun. Pgkakaintindi ko ksi it was a term than could be used with audio. Mali pala ako. Misleading pla ung damped. I'll try using acoustic treatment next time para mas klaro. My apologies. Pxenxa n po. Bago lng. For what it's worth, can you suggest sir a 100wpc amp? for 5k? Like lepai or SMSL? Wla ako makita s markeplace e. Pxenxa n if i'm being a cheapskate again. Mximizing funds lng. Hope you understand. Thnk you, thank you.

Buti nga ikaw makakabuo ka na. Ako i just sold my stereo system due to lack of funds. God willing, baka next year kaya ko na. For a real 100wpc amp, honestly sir, mahirap maghanap niya pero ayos yan sa crown. Hindi ata aabot ng 100wpc ang mga Lepai. I sold my class D B&O circuit amp for P13k, 65w pa lang yun. Baka honestly maski sa pre-loved amps dito, wala atang 100wpc below P10k. Pero, you can also use mga vintage amps to drive those crowns naman. At least 45-50w, pwede na for normal listening. Kapag nilakasan mo, tutunog naman pero baka madinig mo na ang slight amp clipping.napaka down to earth mo naman bro...parang ayaw ko maniwala hehehe
seems your an expert/critic on audio, looking forward sa mga up coming reviews mo...:)Ndi sir, sobrang bago lng, excited lng pate. I try to describe lng kasi in the best way I can. Prang napansin ko kc dito the way speakers are recommended. Puro brand name lng. Wlng description in the way it sound in the best descripton possible. It's either bright or warm lng. Anyways I don't know, ndi ako masyado nagbackread. Pero ayun. pra bago lang. ^-^
sir gab, +1 ako kay sir nelson, medyo mahirap makahanap ng 100wpc worth 5k. Anyways, kung easy to drive naman ang makukuha mong speakers, kayang i drive naman yan ng less than 100wpc amps. Do you prefer a brand? vintage or medyo bago na?Ou, msyado lng umaasa kung meron! Ung SMSL ksi nakita ko s amazon meron (Di ko lng sure kung totoo ung ad.). Sadly, ippship p dito. Hassle! Hehe. Pero tingin mo kaya, kung meron akong pair ng FS n may 97db sensitivity, 400w minimum power handling. Gaanu klakas n watts RMS ang kailngn ko pra madrive this to decently loud enough sound(nkikinig aq ng EDM minsan, kya gusto ko din medyo malakas) sa medium sized room. Siguro mga 10sqm(msydo ata malaki, di ako sure s size ng room ko, appoximation). Thnk you! hope you could help. ^-^

Anong Speaker yung min 400w rms ang requirement sir? baka naman pang Pro Audio/Mobile yan kaya ganun kataas ang req,sabi nga ni sir sientobente kung 97db ang sensitivity nyan kahit 5-20 watts baka kayang i drive ng mga t-amp yan.Pang public address nga ung ganung range e. Sorry sir. Mali mali ung perspective ko ng spec. Nadale ako ng sales man e. tanga rin tulad ko. Tanung ko RMS b yung 400w? sabi nya rms daw. ugok. hahaha. Bago lng. :-\ Wala p ako alam s technical e, s tunog lng ako nagfofocus date, ngayon lng nagsimula magbasa. eto sya http://www.crown.com.ph/products/BF%252d655-.html 100w rms lng yan siguro, divided by four approx diba? thanks s response. :) mli spec. nyn. pero push ko prin. . .ok n muna yan. gling lng nmn ako logitech, creative pc speakers. haha. pagipunan ko missions mx series nxt. . . thank ulet sir s response. XD
Mga masters, last n po. Hingi ako ng final opinion. Bibilhin ko n ksi sya e. Crown BF-655 floor standing speaker. Sobrang mura ksi sa raon. haha. Tnung ko lng kung may nakapagaudi n ba neto sa may showroom ng crown sa may st. francis square? Then ncompare s gear nila? Can you share and describe the sound, compared to my experience in my initial comments? Gusto ko lng magadjust ng expectations and perspective e. Pra next upgrade ko lm ko n hhnpin ko. Thanks mga sers. Pardon my irritating character. >:D
sir gab, yan ung binili ng tito ako. Kami ang nag audi sa st. francis square. Nag try ako ng cd na Round up and Mcintosh ref cd, audiophile voice. Nagulat ung mga tindero dun sa line up ng test cd. Ok na rin yan for the meantime. 400 wpc. 97db di ba? Ang ginamit namin dyan ay sakura 5.1 na 400wpc ata.Nabili namin yun last year 11K combo. speakers and amp. Pwede na rin. Pero mas ok sana kung Mas magandang amp 100wpc and above.Sa wakas. Tried it with another amp sir? Ung audiophile grade. hehe. How did it go? Then with a dedicated DAC din? Bumalik ako dun nung nkraan. As suspected na initial reaction nga lng ako. Silly. Pero pde nga. XD Mlkas at the same time acceptable. Pero may sharpness and shrilness sya n mskit sa tenga. . amf. Not sure kung s pesteng sakura un. . .Had you noticed din ba any form of compression with normal listening level? . . Pero okay nto skin, Tma k dun s binding post. yagit. haha. And if I remember hndi yung gold plated diba? Tnx s opinion sir. :-)
P.S. Mamili ka ng ok na binding post ng speakers. Kc ung nakuha namin Ayaw ko sanang kunin kc naguumido na. Kailangan ng malinis at hindi mahipit at hindi rin masyadong maluwag ang fit ng screw.
if i increase my budget range to aprox P150k, can i be on safer ground? were can i find these options if i may ask for sources? thank you so much. :)
60 watts is already a lot of power for soft music, unless you want concert levels in a large room. The difference between 60 watts and 120 watts is only 3dB. 10 dB is considered twice as loud. to get twice as loud from 60 watts, you would need about 500 watts of power :)I thought it was +3dB or +6dB?
What you can do is bring your pre/power amp to a store and try it with the speakers your considering. My speakers is sensitivity 87 dB and I have driven it to relatively loud levels with a mere 20 watts of power.
thank you very much qguy. il exactly do that...bring my amp to the store to make sure of my purchase. by the way, whats the difference between sensitivity on 'Anechoic chamber' and 'Listening room'? i was absent in school when my electronic teacher was teaching this. ;D
I also saw a tower speaker in the net with a 20-300watts rating and sensitivity of 90db (listening room) and 88db (anechoic chamber). will this be great for my Audio Research V70 power amp?
I thought it was +3dB or +6dB?
Mga sirs parecommend naman po ng DIY na 2.1 setup. Newbie po ko sa ganitong. I heard na mas maganda talaga ang DIY kesa sa HTIB. Kahit entry level lang po.

But for a moment i thought its not wise , might as well go for DIY HT setup. thanks!
Do you think 15k would be enough for an entry level sir?kasama na speakers and sub and amp?need ko po ba unahin ang receiver before anything else?thanks po. Sorry dami ko questions, i really wanna learn this stuff.
+3dB for doubling the amp power, +6dB is for 2 subs co-located :)copy bro! :)-

Looking to upgrade my MA BR2 series for new front ported bookshelves with a wide off-axis sweetspot for nearfield listening and close-to-wall desktop placement. I prefer a smooth laid-back but detailed sound signature while still having punchy transient response.
Currently using a Windows PC source running JRiver Media Center 18 (FLAC, MP3 playback), NAD C326BEE, HRT Music Streamer II USB DAC and an SVS SB12NSD sub in a 2.1 setup for 100% music.
Appreciate any recommendations for a budget of <50k to guide me on my hunt. :)

Guys I also need your help if you don't mind. I am now in the hunt for new surround speakers. I have been using Paradigm Titan V2 for my surround speakers for my home theater for quite some time now. This was my uncle's and he let me borrow it but now he needs it back and now I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
my setup includes the FF:
What's your current FRONT speakers (left, center, right)?

Subs is SVS PB1000
Check out the new B&W 600 series 2 ;)
ung rega rs5 same sound daw ng harbeth c7... hmmmMmmm gusto ko madinig hehe..
i have a bose acoustimass 15 (powered) connected to pioneer 5.1 avr, but i upgraded my avr to onkyo tx-nr616. what can be a good surround back speaker to couple with my current setup? preferably bose also.
Thanks.
201 or 301....yung 101 pwede din. pwede din jewel double cube, kaya lang di ko alam kung may nabibile ba na pares lang nito....
is it okay that jewel cube doesn't pass through acoustimass?I wouldn't recommend doing that. AFAIK, those cubes do not run on the regular 4 to 8 ohm variety. It will be best to still use the bass module unless you'd like to risk frying those speakers.
i mean can i directly connect 2 jewel cube to the AVR?

Hi! Anyone can recommend a computer speaker (2.1) around 10K to 12K? Been using Swans M10 right now. I'm happy with it actually however lacks bass (and voume) but clarity/detail is good. Eyeing for Swans M50 but anyone of you have any other suggestions in the same price range? Not really into powerful bass but decent to great is good to me. I'm all for overall decent to great sound quality.

Help. I already got a pair of Polk Audio TSi400 for front speakers, CS20 for center, and PSWi125 for subwoofer. I bought TL2 (blackstone series) for surround but not happy with the result. I am now thinking of making the TL2 for front high but not sure what to get for surround speakers. FXiA4, RTi or TSx? Room area is about 4x4.try re-calibrating first your speakers via avr.
Parecommend po ng bookshelf speaker speaker for yamaha rx v473 range 10-25k lng po. eyeing for elac b6, polk audio rti a3, rti a1 at Polk Audio TSx220B Bookshelf Speakers.

Pls recommend a floorstander at around 100k.
Have a contour 1.1 paired with a rega elex r and a rel T7. Room is around 36 sqm and
2.8m tall.
Want a set that will scale up soundstage and can comfortably fill the room. Should handle rock music well.

You may want to audition Reference 3A MM de Capo BE. They are large bookshelf speakers but have the dynamics and expansive soundstage of floorstanders. Or go for their floorstanders - Episode BE or Grand Veena BE.@mbtorn.

I'm looking for advice/opinions on Wharfedale Diamond 230 & Mission MX3, which of the two is better, how do these speakers sound?
Mainly for listening to music, I prefer warm with good detail, but won't cause ear fatigue if listening for long hours. Also it should produce enough strong bass cause I don't plan on having a subwoofer.
I prefer a stereo receiver cause of the built-in fm tuner but a integrated stereo amplifier will also be fine, budget 25k, can anyone please suggest which will match the speakers above.
Thanks.
Sir's,Your 25k budget is for both speakers and amp? Both the floorstanders are already 20k. Also, how big is your room? If it's not too big, you'll be better off with bookshelves.

Hi sirs,
I'm coming from a really old but reliable set of Altec Lansing ACS45.1 speakers that have served me from my days with it as my PC speakers to when I migrated it to serve as my speakers for my LED TV. A good 20 years na rin so when it conked out (2nd time na), I decided to replace it instead of having it serviced.

I replaced it with an Edifier X100 and frankly, sobra akong disappointed sa bass and overall sound quality.

I'd like to ask for your help in finding a suitable replacement that would be closest to the Altec Lansing I had. As you can see, I'm no audiophile, I'm happy with the Altec Lansing na, but the Edifier is just crap compared to it naman.
If you can recommend what brand (and what the price range would be) and where to buy sana locally, thanks in advance.
**photos aren't mine, just from the net for reference.
Hard to recommend which speaker would suit you specially since you did not specify what amplifier (or the specific model) you will be using. Normally an amplifier should be matched to a certain speaker or speakers. From experience and sound practice, making sure that the amplifier has enough power to drive the speakers is number 1. Speaker wire size and proper placement of speaker is another.
However, I don't think you can go wrong with both speakers. I'd do with either one then get at least a 100W per channel amplifier. If you just can't seem to get the sound you like, you can play around with different configurations of the speaker wires. You can get ideas from this forum on DIY speaker wires so you can narrow this gap. If that doesn't work, try using different audio sources - cellphone, CDP, DVD, turntable etc.
How much is your budget and what's your TV? You should get speakers with significantly more wattage than your TV speakers. Altec Lansing still makes speakers and you can get them from PC Express. If you have 9k to spare, get a JBL SB250, it's a very good soundbar, and I was quite surprised with it's performance. You can get this from Lazada.
Oh! Thanks for replying. It makes so much more sense now. My old Altecs had 32 watts total and the Edifier only had a total of 10W. That explains why I've been let down.
My budget is actually really low, 4-5K tops. Am I asking for too much for that price point? The JBL's read nice, pero just way out of my budget eh. Also, I'd prefer satellites and a sub because of the space I'm placing them in. I don't have space in front of the TV for the soundbar.
I'm looking at the Altc Lansing Lozenge or Helix now. Good idea? Or should I look elsewhere pa?
I heard the Helix but as computer gaming speakers, so the speakers were right in front of me. I had those one of those old altec lansing speakers as well and it sounded the same as the Helix, so I guess you will be happy with these as well.Thanks! Will try listening to some so I can compare. Yes, I think if they're similar, I'll be satisfied na hehe. Thanks again.
I do highly recommend your choice: Swans M50.
I have this set of speakers, although I put them back inside the "premium" box packaging (the box even provides gloves to protect the speakers when handling the same!) because my house is still undergoing renovation and I am very particular about dust.
For the amount of money I paid, the Swans M50 exceeded my expectations. It has surprisingly the sound signature of my older Polk floorstanding speakers. Neutral, balanced, detailed. The height and width of sweet spot is very impressive. The volume can easily and seriously fill the family den and beyond.
As for the bass, you will love the levels of low frequency when you need it and how much you want it (it has a control knob for that).

Ano pong marerecommend nyo na entry-level (or cheap) na front bookshelf speakers and center na available for shipping? Currently I'm stuck with options sa lazada lang (polk t15 +t30 or pure Acoustics supernova)How much is your budget? Don't get it from Lazada, baka maging problem pa ang warranty claim. Order it from a local store. Watts Hifi in Makati Cinema Square can ship items. Starter speakers I recommend are ELAC Debut B6, PSB Image B6 or Alpha B1, Mission MX2. All of these choices are easy to power.

Mission MXS
Wharfedale Diamond 210
ano po mas marerecommend nyo na temporary front speakers and rear/surround speakers to go with micca MB42x front + center set?
Mission for me. Hirap ang mga entry to mid level AV Receivers to power ang Wharfdale.Medjo. Technique ko is to increase the cut off point ng speakers. Mga 100hz up.
