need your opinions bros, am now using my 8.1s as surrounds, recetly got 9.cs and 9.1s for my fronts. Am thinking of getting the 9.sr to replace the 8.1s para full 9s ang speakers ko. Do you think mas ok or shall I retain it?

Also am still in the market looking for the best priced sub to complement my existing set-up. Considering the DQ12s and the US Audio 512 pero parang overkill for my puny 9.1s kc. Parang a 10 incher will do for my room.

Correction on my earlier post, my room is only less than 15 sq.m. lang pala.

8.1 na lang. or you could sell it to fund another 9.1

hayyyyy........... hirap ba magdecide bro?

ganyan talaga yan! walang katapusan sa pag iisip, dahil sunod nyan after a days a week month or a year paga UPGRADE naman ang gagawin mo, dahil may BAGO na naman at mas maganda kaysa sa SET UP MO, hehehehe..... PERO ENJOY DI BA?

GUD LAK NALANG BRO....post mo nalang review and comments mo sa mga bago mong toys

I agree. Limited range lang ang 9.SR. Although it wouldn't matter much unless you listen to 5/7 channel stereo. Unless you really like the aesthetics of an all-diamond 9 setup, lamang ng katiting ang 8.1 for surrounds.

nalalakihan ks ako sa 8.1s for my surrounds, i used to have my wh2 for my surrounds kaya medyo naninibago lang. saw the 9.srs sa brochure and i think their a bit smaller than the my 8.1s. malabo na din cguro for a 9.1 surrounds since no space sa likod. . . planning to get wall mounts for the 8.1s .. . performance wise if the 8.1s have little difference with the 9.sr, baka nga mag all d9s nalang ako.

tama k vhongbiker, mahirap talaga pag tinamaan ka nag sakit uli. . . parang ayoko nang mag log uli, daming options . . .

ano kaya unahin ko change my 8.1s to 9.sr or get a sub ? . . .if i opt to get the sub firt, anong klase naman? ang hirap . . .

Sub! Sub! Sub!

SW150 para tipid at matching, then compensate with bass shakers hehe

Madali isabit yung 9.sr kasi medyo manipis.

I've been hearing about these bass shakers. Ano ba ginagawa niyan?... Does it really improve the bass of your system? Interested ako kasi parang medyo bitin yung bass ng HT system ko. Where can you buy them?....

If you haven't tried the link posted by sir bumblebee yet, bass shakers, technically called tactile transducers, add a another dimension to your HT experience that can be felt ("tactile"). Instead of emitting sounds in the LFE frequency range, they simply vibrate it out. Take that vibrating thing and attach it to your HT couch... what do you get? A couch vibrating along with the LFE! (cue Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On")

If you've got a sub worth Pxxx,xxx, you may not need them anymore, but if you're budget is only enough for our bang-for-the-buck Wharfes, bass shakers may be a good, cheap enhancement (at P945 per pair from Dai-ichi Megamall, plus the cost of any amp other than your HT amp/reciever).

Saw and heard the SW150 at Park Square, ang liit pala nito!

Paired with the B&W600S3, it was able to integrate well in music. Swabe siya but a little too weak for my taste -- baka hindi pa lang broken in and siguro din bec. of the set-up in the store.

Just sharing

hi mga sir... being a newbie...kakaenganyo kayo.

I have a Marantz SR4500 (7.1) and naghahanap pa lang ng speakers... bagay ba ang Wharfe dito??? I am thinking of getting the ff:
- Diamond 9.3
- Diamond 9CS
- Diamond 9SR (2 pairs???)
- Subs: Velo VX-10 (from my brother)

What you think? meron na bang nakaganito? Suggestions are very much welcome.

Appreciate the help!!!

Hi, I am a Diamond 9 owner myself. Yes, it's good - the best quality for that price range.

I think your 4500 can drive the speakers just well - so, when you have your toys already - complete with earth shaking sounds, let us know!

Good luck.

Guys,

Ang laki pala ng 9.6 compare sa 9.4...

took this at Spectra...

LETOR · « **Reply #1098 on:** May 15, 2005 at 09:26 AM »

Hi guys, based on your experience, how would you compare 9.1 with 8.1? Considering that 8.1 had a lot of citations. Is 9.1 an upgrade of 8.1?
Is it just the looks or also the sound quality. Does it have the tonal quality that gave the 8.1 its numerous commendations. Thanks....

yup, im referring to the wh2 center na masasapawan ng 9.5....but i'm buying both wh2 center & surround..enjoy ko na lang muna yung wh2 anyway mura lang naman score ko eh..pag sinumpong upgrade na lang uli..

p.dividdy2 · « **Reply #1104 on:** May 16, 2005 at 03:44 PM »

you change speaker levels naman sa receiver mo.. but i find the wh2 center ngongo and a bit high-mid sounding..kaya ang daming nag-bebenta nito at a low price..

I would rather save up for a diamond cs than "settle" for the wh2 for the center. you save money and hassle of having to sell it. just set ure receiver to no center for now and let the 9.5s produce front and center channels.
