maganda sa DTX, lifetime warranty, kapag masira just bring it to dai-ichi, kahit walang resibo.

Hi!

Can anybody give a comment on a WH-2 Center between a DTX 9.5c center speakers?

Can anyone give their suggestions on which of these two sounds better? On your opinion to those who have owned or heard of their clarity and detail, could you please give you're personal comment on these two?

Thanks!
Yo dude,

I purchased a WH2 center last month paired with a yammy and bsed on my inital test ok siya claro pero ...... medyo hindi ito matibay. After listening it for a week lang bigla na lang ito nasira ibinlik ko ito sa tindahan at I've requested a replacement pero upgraded model na kinuha ko (diamond 8c) medyo mabigat sa bulsa pero its worth it. Wala kasi silang pamalitv during that time kaya napilitan akong iupgrade ito. And as disclosed to me by my friend sirain talaga iyon actually tatlo na kaming nagbalik nito. Mahina siya pag medyo biglang pasok ng signal i.e. sudden increase ng db level especially sa movies... :-[ And beware sa mga tindahan na nagbebenta ng single unit ng wh2 center lang malamang refurbished or reconditioned na ito kasi normally binebenta ito ng set (L/R surround and center speakers.

Bro skeeter,
all of my speakers for my two HT set-ups(1 sa sala, 1 sa kwarto ko) are all made by Daiichi, DTXs, US Audios, Audiofiles, and Daiichis, I have some from all brandnames, so if you're asking if Daiichi-made speakers are of good quality, I'd say they're great, very well worth their price, at worst. I haven't seen any recent Daiichi speaker systems that haven't met my expectations if not surpassed it. Maybe this is one of those cases where we can really believe in the Filipino ingenuity. As I've read in my book How To Build Your Own Home Theater, the author suggests buying speakers of the same brand/manufacturer to ensure timbre matching, and it would be most ideal if all the speakers use the same drivers. That way you wouldn't have to have trouble with such. That's exactly the reason why speaker manufacturers produce speaker systems in groups for HT. Like Daiichi's DTX, Pregnant, DC, etc. lines. And with regards to pareng lance's post, there are older models from Daiichi that are very good too. I have a pair of CT-503s, and they even have higher Peak Power inputs than the newer DTX 9.5 Towers(140 W max RMS), that's 250 watts RMS(Unclipped) for the 503s, and stronger bass too. I installed another pair of Daiichi classic towers (I forgot the model no.) for a friend and that one left me in awe, we used it with Crown center and surrounds, and the difference is so noticeble, and although we had a powered sub, we didn't seem to need it, that was when I decided to use only Daiichis for budget setups. But if you want these older speakers, you'd have to hurry or try to find stores that still have them, because I think they stopped making them. This is the "elite" line that Daiichi used to make before they started using new names, the CLASSIQUE TOWER Series, that's why they really put in those all they had then. But of course, the new ones are great too. As most of us would say, "Just my 2 Cents". TC.

Bro, this is my Dai-Ichi CLASSIQUE TOWER CT-813, I think, as you said, they stopped making this line, buti naka abot pa ko. he he he  ;D nung 1999 php 9,800 pa ang price nito pero nakuha ko lang ng php 5,860 kasi sale. after that pag nag pupunta ko sa showroom sa megamall wala ng ganito. na auditioned ko na rin yung dtx floorstander nila ang sad to say maliit ng tunog compare to my speaker. max 400 watts unclipped daw ito eh. i have no regret having this speakers. I can say it is on the warm side and very musical to me. at 92db sensitivity. i think a tube amp can power this speakers coz im planning to plunge into tubes. medyo nag iipon pa lang ako ng pambili. balitaan ko kayo kung swak sa tube amp ito pero i have faith in this baby (baby damulag! ;D) medyo matagal pa siguro ako makakapag balita sa inyo about that, kasi php 658  pa lang ang ipon ko eh. :P sa monday baka maging php 700 na rin ito..yeheyy ;)

my room is relatively small, so a DTX-9.5T is not applicable (no enough space).  now, my option is to have bookshelf speaker instead.  any recommendation on what speaker should i get? sana dai-ichi rin kc i've read a lot of good reviews and mura pa...

well may mga sattelites ang dai-ichi

also nung nasa showroom ako may nakita akong look alike   ng sattelites ng JBL speakers,
naalala ko OEM maker pala itong dai-ichi, so sub contract yata sila ng JBL dito sa phils.

Jam, slim yung design ng DTX tower so kahit maliit space, sigurado na kasya. Check mo yung Tannoy speaker tower na nakapost dito...ganoon siya ka slim  ;D

may listening fatigue kapag malapit ako sa DTX
2-3 meters usually

Hindi ko lang alam kung meron ganito dito. I just mentioned tannoy kasi ganyan yung concept ng DTX Slim. Halos pareho sila ng driver, x-over and box.

what yakuini meant is that DTX slim series and the tannoy mx4m are look alikes, mas smoother lang ang sa edges and different color finish,

im sure malayo din ang sound ng dalawa dahil mid/high -level na ang tannoy.

you could see the tannoy pic and the actual DTX floorstanders at page 17

pareng lance,
that is exactly what I installed for a friend, that's a great pair of speakers, pero u know for how much namin nabili dito sa Bacolod? 4,200 lng. Take care of those babes man.
jam bro,
punta ka na lang s Daiichi showroom, either  sa Megamall or sa Raon mall, I'm sure you'll find what you need and want there. Besides, buying those DTX 9.5 towers at 3.5 K wouldn't hurt, you wouldn't have to worry about possible future upgrades too. Or you could vist their website www.daiichi.com. TC.

Bro, ingat na ingat talaga ako don, yung bunso ko lang ang hindi. :'( buti may cloth cover kaya hindi tinatamaan yung cone pag hinahampas. at least pag nasira e di dalhin ko lang sa dai-ichi. lifetime naman warranty eh. kaya lang sa bigat nito, lawit ang dila ko sa pagdala nito. :)

Bro lance,
D ba pwede na ang driver lang na sira ang dalhin mo? Kasi this is what I've been wanting to find out if they allow you to have them repair just the defective part. Kasi may friend ako na defective ang on board controls ng DCS sub nya, but the functions work just fine on the remote, so he wants to have it repaired sana, but it would be troublesome to bring the whole sub, so he wishes to just bring the circuit board, not the entire sub. Bagong bili pa lang kasi so sayang naman ang warranty. Mga april pa kasi kami pupunta uli dyan sa maynila e. Medyo pareho pala tayo ng case e, my nephew likes to push the dome tweeters very often. Kaya when I leave the house, sinisiguro ko na nakakabit ang covers. Paano kaya pag may toddler na uli sa bahay? he he. Gd day.

Palagay ko dre pwede kasi lifetime warranty naman pinag uusapan eh saka babayaran mo rin naman kung ano yung papalitan if meron man. Pero para sure tawag ka muna sa showroom nila kahit sa megamall.  :-\Di ko lang alam number. Pero good idea. If ever di ko na lang dadalhin yung paglalaki laking speaker na yon..pero for sure hindi ko ma i over drive yon e.... :)

Really, bro? Wow, I can't wait to go back to Manila, d pa ba nakalagay sa website nila? I haven't seen the europe series, but sa pagkakaalam ko, yung pregnant is a part of the EFD series. April pa kasi balik ko dyan, e. The wifey usually teases me that the only reason I go to Manila is Raon, not family, he he, I just smile, kasi there's a bit of truth to that. Ooops, OT. :)
