Topic: Speaker Comparisons

[gunslinger]

I was curious last night and played orchestra music on an FS with a single woofer and twitter and compared it with a 3 way speaker. Interesting to note that there was more clarity and separation with the 3way. Does it mean to say that sound separation requires more woofers/drivers to be more detailed especially on the midbass and other sound near this frequency?
I am hoping to get an expert opinion so I know what upgrade path I need to take.
Or maybe it was simply a limitation of the speaker I was using that is why it cannot replicate all the frequencies I was able to hear on the 3way.

Magandang question yan sir. Sabi nga ni master JojoD., in a perfect world, masmaganda ang masmadaming drivers, each with designated freqs to produce. Mas-hindi mahihirapan ang mga drivers. However, depende din sa capability & design ng drivers, design ng xover, interaction sa room, speaker aiming/positioning.

[gunslinger]

Oo nga master nelson. Napaisip tuloy ako kung ano gagawin ko. hehehe Basa2 na lang muna para magkaroon ng idea.

Mezzo 2 or PSB Image B6 for nad 316bee?

[Timithekid]

Mezzo 2 or PSB Image B6 for nad 316bee?

NAD + PSB = sweet detailed sound...
  Try to find Jason(courage) and Gerard's (sientobente) threads and ask them about the nad psb pairing, they have very good experience with it.

Mezzo 2 or PSB Image B6 for nad 316bee?

you can pm beginner, he has both speakers.

try niyo din yung amx + b&w 685 ni master Timi. Awesome combination. 

[powershot]

na-audition ko na yung mezzo2 + cambridge amp, nagustuhan ko sya ewan ko lang ano magiging tunog nya pagdating sa nad amp. 

[Tavus]

can anyone tell me where  Audio Amplified is? what landmarks are close to them?

which cambridge amp yung naaudition niyo sir? i also liked that combination. very forward and engaging yung sound. i have both amps, a cambridge 550a and a nad 326bee. they are very similar in nature. the cambridge is a bit extended in the highs, while nad has more weight in the low end. plus skip the cambridge ICs, the hf coming from it is a bit rough.

[Ian Villaceran]

Ako kasi, ang principle ko s center channel, i would get the same model/series (for timbre), pero bigger size.

[Ian Villaceran]

Thank you. Wala kasi center channel yun PM1.. Parang stick nalang muna ako sa CM ko ngayon ganda sana yun PM1..

[raider125jeigh]

yup better parehas ang LCR .... but still you may use...
just had the same principle with efren nelson

for surr kahit maiba na... pero if budget permits same series/model will be the best option

ung pm1 model wala center? for pure audio lang ba yang series na yan?
cm series are quite good

[Ian Villaceran]

decided to get the CM9 today instead of the PM1.. same price when stands included for the PM1s but the CM9 sounds fuller with terrific midrange and most importantly for me it matches my current CM centre..

That Onkyo looks like it could use a little more space to breathe.... those things tend to get uhhmm "warm"

[Ian Villaceran]

Yes thats definitely my next upgrade a stand and dedicated amp next year coz we will another kid coming this summer

Congrats Ian! You'd have years of fun with those.

[Ian Villaceran]

Thanks bro already loving it

[balto]

sir Nelson, for example with my ht set-up na BW 685 ang mains ko, dapat yung center ko is the bigger size yung htm61, tama po ba? Yung recommended kasi sa BW site is the smaller center which is the htm62.

How about for the surround speakers? Does it have to be the same brand and series din? 7.2 ang target kong set-up. Sa ngayon 2.1  pa lang po ako. Dagdag lang ako paunti unti pag may budget na.

Salamat po.

ganda yan both HT and Audio
congrats

balto@ the bigger center the better - pero kung hindi naman ganun kalaki ung space mo at masyado mahal ung bigger center get the small one for surr if you an afford same brand get it if not then wharf 10dfs are quite good on budget

The htm62 is deaigned both for the 685 and 684.  If you plan to upgrade to the 683, thats the time you will need the htm61.  As for the surrounds it need not be of the same brand.  And important in my opinion is the left, center and right channel na parehas.

Room is about 18 sqm. Yung mga dipole surround na nasa MP ok na po ba yun? Like the Mission dipole at 7.5k.

Sir Timi not sure pa po ako sa 683. Parang 50-50 pa po. Center lang po muna target ko sa ngayon. Nag-aalangan din po ako sa htm62 kasi baka dumating panahon na ma afford ko yung 683. Sayang naman yung htm62 papalitan na naman ng htm61. But if in case po na mag stick ako sa 685, di po ba maganda i-match yung htm61?

Thanks po.

Match parin yan pero with an 18 sq ft room, malakas na ang 683 and htm61.   Yan din inisip ko before i got the htm62 pero ilang years pa naman before i get a 683 so malamang sulit ko na yung center, and most probably hahabol parin naman yung htm62 basta small to mid sized room eh.

Mga sir, what is your review ng Jamo 426hcs3 ok ba sya sa Wharfedale na 10 series. One consideration is at almost 10k isang set na sya. Intended for ht and audio na rin.
