Help!

I just came from Spectra last week and now i have a dilema on which receiver am i to buy for the diamond 9's im planning to get... mukhang ok din kase ung yamaha rxv650...although mas mahal nag kaunti. Which one is the better receiver in terms of everything? Marantz sr4500 or the yamaha? anyone with a 650 matched with a 650?

Kung more on HT ka go with Yamaha pag Audio naman eh Marantz pero both are good AVR sa preference mo na lang makakatalo..

Oy nakarating na pala sa bundok yang evo mo bro. Tagal na talaga ako wala sa sirkulasyon. Sayang hindi ako nakasama sa inyo gusto ko pa naman marinig sana yan evo mo o alin man sa mga diamond series 9 lalo na yung 9.2 o 9.6 kung pude ipareha dun sa ST70  ;D

Umaandar na naman ata yung SARS dito. Teka maka hibernate na muli at hindi pa ako fully paid kay Kimpao masasabak na naman ako  :D

Bro must hear yun 9.6 lalo na sa ST70.. baka magST70 + LS3/5 ang dating ng vocals mo.. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't expect a night and day difference between the 2 amps. Yamahas are known to be bright, "good" for movies. The Marantz's are warm, "good" for music.

The listener should decide what's "good". And when is "good", "good" enough.

How does the 9.5 compare with the 9.6? Is the 5k price difference worth it?

Bebot,

Di na pwede for sale yan walang bibili hehehe sayang nga at di ko pa na side by side sa 9.6.. pero i doubt na kakayanin yun ganda and sweetness ng 9.6 sa vocals :'( :'( :'( :'( Evo 30 kasi neutral and natural. :) :)

Yan di pa namin na side by side hehehehe ma schedule nga yan.. hehehehehe we only got to hear the 9.6 itself dati naman 9.2 and 9.4. :) kaya tuloy napa 9.2 ako  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My experience with Wharf dapat talaga ma warm up kasi initial sound nya talaga malabo minsan pero after 2 to 3 hours hehehe ewan ko na lang kung sabihin pangit pa yan.. ;D ;D ;D parang diesel engine. ;D ;D ;D

Sir Hans,

Paki na lang yung 9.5 vs 9.6 ;D

Ito naman ang gusto ko sa wharfs. Kahit flagship na, affordable pa rin :)

Thanks for the update... Nice read especially when I don't have surrounds yet and am still planning to get one... debating on risking for a wh-2 or a 9SR.

question po...

how close can i put the 9.1 or 9.2 near my tv?  planning to just have a customized tv rack instead of buying separate speaker stands.

would one inch distance between tv and speaker suffice na? magnetically sheilded naman yung speakers di ba?

salamat po

Yes, they are shielded. If you can't find any distortion on the TV w/ the 1" distance, you'll be fine.

I didn't have problems when i placed my 9.1's on top of the TV rack w/c is about 6" from the TV.

What I meant with my post was to try the 1" distance tapos kung may distortion, ilayo mo ng kaunti hanggang sa mawala.
