Bakit upgrade na ba agad sir??

musta pala di ka na pakita sa session..

Hindi naman sir, wala nga pang-upgrade. Nakaka-enganyo lang itong Diamond 9.6, imagine at 17k meron ka ng floorstander na maganda. And to think, it's $800 sa ibang bansa itong speaker na ito.

Hindi na nga ako nakakasama sa inyo. sama sana ako kila Dong noon, kaya lang late ko na nakita text nya eh. maybe next time sir.

Marantz and Wharf are both on the warm side i learn that its better to partner gears that have different character, remember matching is important but the gear above are good already.

Welcome to pinoyDVD.

Thanks for the info! i would just like to know the optimum height for the surround speakers (DFS) if a listener is in a sitting position... i have read alot of suggestions for this say, 1m while the others suggest 1.5m and another audio store suggested that it should be directly leveled with your ear. Which one sounds best for the DFS?

Thanks again!

I read somewhere that at least 6ft from the ground or 2ft above the ear level. Positioning is also important... for DFS, there are those who like it on the side than at the rear end of the room. Try to experiment first without mounting it permanently and hear/see if what position do you like. Goodluck!

oh i see, cge thanks for the info! i try them out as soon as i buy my system. im currently setting up kase the place. Pag naayos na, dun ko lang bibilin ung system

And while you're at it... determine your viewing/listening position as against the room dimension and size... Dipole /DFS is usually for proportionate rooms so you bounce the sound on the walls while bookshelf can be dynamic in terms of application by.

Yeah, principles on speaker placement talked about here come mostly from experiences of enthusiasts.

For me the sound experience is best when the fronts, center and surrounds are at the same level with my ears, that is:

fronts/center ---------- ears ---------- surrounds

For me, this set up allows smoother flow of the fly around effects

Great! Kanya-kanya lang talaga ang preferrences... we have all this infos for us to try and figure out how we wanted it _our_ way.

The TV may have been placed above the level of the speakers. There is really no rule in this hobby. Kung saan tayo masaya, dun tayo dapat.

Usually above the tv yun center mo so better tilt it down towards the listeners ears para focus yun dialogue..

DFS try to sit down tapos reach up your arm dun height pwede mo try place yun speaker..

Tama si Hans "tilt it" -- pero sa akin i use 2 center speakers, 1 on top of the TV , 1 below - the effect is better as the two speakers pulls the sound towards dead center of the TV

how does the 9.4 compare to the 9.2?

some say that the 9.4 is more boomy because of the bigger enclosure? bigger nga ba or parang meron lang built-in stand?

comments please...thanks!

Depende sa room mo best is audition them experienced ko i own 9.2 oks naman sya with small to medium size room yun 9.4 ( meron uncle ko ) oks din sa 6 x 7mtrs room di naman boomy pero bare naman yun room nya no carpet or drapes minsan kasi due to other thing or furniture sa room mo that help add color (bass ) sa speakers.

Sir Akyat,

How does it (9.6) compares with your MS Floorstander. I really like to know, I already like the sound of your MS.

Thanks.

Jcob

jcob, update lang......

i brought my MS-908 to jetok's place to listen to Pink Floyd "The Wall" LP, so i was able to listen to the same room/setup used in the 9.6 audition...... and i hate to say this but...... tinalo ng 9.6 ang speaker ko huhuhuhu :'( i really hope na makabawi ang 908 sa ibang album but i'm not that confident.

Bro Chatstix -- just connected them on SERIES. My receiver can handle up to 16 ohms -- got two 8 ohms center speakers and connecting them on SERIES sums them up into 16 ohms
