Topic: Dai-ichi Speakers & sub

[X-®an™]

Question lang regarding the Daichi Euros 8:

1) What's the best amp to pair this with? Sa mga meron nito..anong amp ginamit nyo?

Dunno about the best amp, but I'm currently using a Sakura AVR387a.  If everything proceeds as planned, I may be able to replace the Sakura with an HK AVR.

2) Are these speakers considered as bright or warm? Or sa receiver/amp lang yun naga-apply?
3) Meron akong nabasa dito regarding the Euros 8 and "Studio Acoustics". Iba pa ba yung Studio Acoustics na Euros 8 sa ordinary na Euros 8?
4) Meron bang news regarding a sale for Euros 8. Pa-share naman.

Thanks a lot sa lahat ng answers nyo. 

See sir arthurallanj's answers. 

My setup is currently a chopseuy of sorts: Sakura AVR387a, Euros8 towers as fronts, Definitive Technology C/L/R 2300 as center, a pair of speakers from an old Sony FH mini-compo as rears and a DTX 4.12 (subwoofer).  It may not be timbre-matched, but my untrained ears can't tell that. 

[X-®an™]

Thanks sir! So I guess it being "sweet" is a good thing?  I'll try to contact them and see if they have any ongoing sale. Last question lang mga bro...

I have a Sakura 387 and its fronts are 250W x 2. It is safe to use this amp for the Euros 8 right? No moolah yet for a branded receiver eh. Thanks!

Yes, you can use the Sakura AV387a with the Euros8 towers.  See my post above for details of my setup. 

But since the towers are still at the break-in phase, I have only gone up to -10 db.  (This was during New Year's Eve)

Thanks X-Ran! Would love to see a picture of your setup and ArthurAllanJ's as well. It's been a long, long wait for me and I'm really hoping that I can buy even the fronts lang muna this time. I just renovated our apartment you see and I have already taken care of wire management and all that stuff. Kulang na lang talaga are the speakers and wires themselves. Just called up Daiichi Mega and 7K pa rin yung Euros 8.

I can't take decent pics right now... nagloko kasi yung digicam ko.. and sa HT napunta yung pambili ng pamalit. 

But I'm open to letting you hear my humble setup, I'm in Cainta btw.

I just visited Daiichi Megamall, I was able to check those Euros8 Towers.   Grabe!!! Those speakers really rock and at that price, sulit talaga sya.  Bilib na ako sa Gawang Pinoy! 

I bought Euros8 bookshelves for my surrounds, naka-sale kasi.   Puede na sya....it's really a bang for your buck.  Kesa bumili ako ng Imported na surrounds eh pang HT lang naman sa likod.

Ok din syang gamitin for fronts, kaya lang hindi kasing pino ng Wharf Diamond 9.1.  Napansin ko din nung idinikit ko sa TV yung Euros8, parang mahina yung pagka-magnetic shielding nya...na distort yung display ng TV ko.  Anyway, pang likod ko lang naman, so sulit pa rin.

Pero, I would really recommend those Towers.

Napansin ko din nung idinikit ko sa TV yung Euros8, parang mahina yung pagka-magnetic shielding nya...na distort yung display ng TV ko. 

The only magnetically shielded speaker system that the Euros 8 series has is the center, just like any other Daiichi HT speaker series. So, of course, your tv will be affected since the bookshelf speakers aren't magnetically shielded. 

[cHiNo2728]

Ricracer, magkano kuha mo sa bookshelf surrounds? Balak ko kasi fronts lang kukunin ko sa Daichi Megamall kasi malaki at mabigat. Then punta ko Moses Aaron sa Raon para sa center and surrounds. Mas kayang dalhin and mas mura yata pag doon bumili. May discount pa kung mag name-dropping ka. Diba sir ArthurAllanJ? 

Magkano nga kaya difference ng price sa Moses Aaron and sa Mega ngayon? Hmmm..

[ricracer]

3,500 ang regular price sa Mega, 4,000 yata sa raon.  Pero I got mine at 2,900....last pair na yata yun.  Sayang nga kasi mas mababa pa raw yun nung nag-sale sila sa Mega last year.

[vtec3]

Bro ricracer, sent you a pm. Thanks 

[cHiNo2728]

Nagpunta rin ako doon last Monday. Merong ngang some items for sale. I saw a DTX tower, US Audio Sub, Some towers na maple, most probably, Euros 5 or 6. Also some DTX bookshelves.

Kaya lang hindi sale yung pinaka-aabangan ko  The Euros 8! :'(
Ang bigay nila is still 7K at wala na silang stock ng centers and bookshelves. Matagal pa raw dadating.

Saw a new Euros Model. The Studio Acoustic EurosFD. Iba yung cone nya, hindi paper. Kevlar(?) daw sabi nung salesman. Pero mukhang hindi. Mas maliit siya sa Euros 8 pero it has 3 midbass (?) drivers. Mukhang okay din.

Yun lang po ang update. Ciao!

[fweyd]

i use Euros 6 Floorstanders sa tabi ng TV ko.. as in, dikit na ung tv pati ung speakers.. i dont notice naman any discoloration or anything

[arthurallanj]

Bro fweyd,

That's great. I'm only worried about the effect of the vibrations of the speakers on your tv. I think an inch of space, at least, between the speakers and the tv should be considered. Just me, bro. 

[BongerDude]

Mga bossing i just bought euros 8 towers for my HK 135. iniisip ko lng kung anong ilalagay na center. ok ba ung euros 8 center? kc m planning to buy diamond 9cm para sa center, di ko lng sure kung babagay kasi magkaiba cla ng brand. please advise nman po. salamat!

[arthurallanj]

To play it safe, get the Euros 8 center. Although, I am using the a pair of Wharfedale WH-2s with a pair of DTX 9.5 BSs as surrounds and they have a very similar timbre. I've done some tests and they sound seamless to me. But that's just me. 

[hattori_hanzo]

GOOD NEWS!!! Euros 8 center and surrounds now available at raon...

I just got my Euros 8 book shelfs at Php.3,250 only...

[arthurallanj]

Malaki ba difference ng Euros 6 at Euros 8 bookshelfs? I haven't seen them na magkatabi kasi e. Guys?

[BongerDude]

Bro mukhang mas mura pa sa megamall kesa sa raon eh. Natry mo ba tanungin kung magkano sa megamall showroom?

[hattori_hanzo]

NEWS NEWS NEWS!!! Euros 8 tower sale sa Megamall got mine for only 7k. hurry limited supply, magmamahal daw sila after nito. it will be 10k+ na sa susunod. pero wala pa rin center and bookshelf sa mega pero sa raon meron. DTX sub also at 7k nalang...     

[BongerDude]

7k rim kuha ko sa euros 8 towers. Dati pa nila sinasabing magtataas na daw sila pero hanggang ngayon 7k pa rin. Ewan ko lang kung totoo yung sinasabi nila, bka sinasabi lang nila yun para bumili ng bumili yung mga nagtatanong. ewan ko lang ha...

actually a week before today, I audition the 8 towers sa kanila and the price is 9k pag cash. tinanong ko rin if kung cash ko bibilihin sabi sa akin ganun pa rin daw 9k. so I think totoo naman yung sales person kahit sa raon nag tanong ako talgang mataas na. 9,8k pa nga eh. so today is a good opportunity for us hobbyist kung gusto mo talga bumili ng towers, anyways oks na din yung 7k isipin mo price lang ito ng bookshelf na wharfs 9 series...

Sulit naman eh. I hooked it up with my present AVR DSP2000 powered by 502a (serves as power amp) and ang ganda talaga at ang linaw pa isipin mo wala pang kwenta ang AVR ko nito lalo na ciguro kung Yammy, HK or tubes. best buy na ito. wala pang problema sa warranty...actually I asked the sales person kung saan ineexport ang studioacoustic, he told me sa melbourne autralia at france... iba na daw ang badge nito dun saka mahal dahil sa tax... actually meron akong friend na nag pa repair ng cerwin vega niya. and guess what? sa dai-ichi rin siya dinala. dahil OEM daw nila ang speakers ng cerwinvega...

so for me okey na ang Euros 8 hataw na sa performance ang mura pa...

BTW nag pa reserve na ako ng T-amp! ka chokaran ko na yung contact ko dun hehehe!   

[JojoD818]

anyways oks na din yung 7k isipin mo price lang ito ng bookshelf na wharfs 9 series...

   

I have a 9.1 and it's true price na ito ng Euros 8 (I can get it much lower pa nga  ), I think it's time I audition these towers. 

[hattori_hanzo]

tol actually sa raon talgang nasa 10k na less 5% kahit sa knight audio. nasa 9,8k kung cash kasi tinangka ko bumili sa kanila pero wala stock so pumunta ako sa showroom sa taas. sabi sa akin mahal daw sa baba talga kaya tumawag sa mega. eh nagka taon naka sale. kaya binigay sa akin ng 7k. pero last week lang nung nag inquire ako sa mega nasa 8,9k pa pag cash daw discounted to 8,5k...

pero whatever at least nakuha natin ng 7k. and this is a good thing at least meron chance ang mga katulad natin hindi masyado rich na makabili ng ganitong high performance speakers diba? yan ang contri ng Dai-ichi sa PDVD hobbyist. singaling ng mga branded speakers pero hindi sing mahal. diba wais? hehehe.... hindi na masama ang 7k for a good performer towers, in fact best buy ito...

Hanep ah bilis ng reply ah... magchat na lang kaya tayo? hehehe. palagi kang online ah!

O para ndi O.T. , sabi ng taga raon mas mura daw talaga sa mega pag euros. Pero pag mga sub mas mura daw sa raon. Ewan ko ba sa kanila, pareho lang namang daiichi yun eh.

Accident lang talaga pag bili ko ng euros, kasi when i went there, bibili sana ko ng DQ12 na sub sa Listening Room kasi may floorstanders na ko kaso bulok. Eh medyo hindi ako happy sa service dun at tunog ng DQ12, akyat ako ngayon sa Daiichi showroom para ma audition yung DTX at USaudio. Eh napakinggan ko euros... patay na. Ayun ang nauwi ko. Hehe. pero no regrets! Hayup!

BTW maitanong ko lang, yung cables mo binili mo sa ACE ano? hula lang...

[cHiNo2728]

Congrats Hanns1976! Welcome to the Euros Club!

Truly bang for the buck ang Euros 8 towers. At least meron ka ng center speaker. Bought my Euros 8 towers and Bookshelves for 10K total sa Mega last Feb. 12. Totoo nga ang sabi nila, the sound gets better and better kapag nabe-break-in. Kulang ko na lang is a Center and a Sub. Di pa kasi ako persuaded na bumili ng sub dahil satisfied pa naman ako sa lows ng towers na ito. Pero come to think of it, what more kung may sub diba? Whew!  Totoo mas mura nga sa Mega kaysa sa Raon. Went scouting there bago ako bumili eh. Mahal sa kanila yung towers. So I opted to buy sa Mega plus mas malapit and madaling isakay sa car kapag doon.
Receiver ko is only a Sakura 387 and okay na for me pero I'm sure mas okay kung HK or Yammy receiver.
Bought some AudioPro Interconnects, and Gauge 14 wires, okay na okay na. No complaints. Enjoy!

I will, hopefully hindi ako ma-disappoint ulit. I have been using Dai-Ichi speakers for my speaker diy itch ever since I was in grade school.

Last year I was scouting for a bookshelf (busy to diy), fortunately this was the season when we were conducting sessions sa bundok and were shooting out different bookshelfs. I was just looking for something that doesn't lie, as natural as possible since I'll be using it to test my amp projects and of course reacheable by my wallet. So then I went and auditioned at raon and mega but unfortunately my ears didn't agree so there goes the story.

Sana floorstanders naman, ganda sa pics ni hanns, congrats.

I'd like to know po sana how u wud rate and describe it pag na audition nyo na. Although subjectiv naman yan, your opinion matters to me. Sir ha paki post ha? Salamat!
