Depende po yan on how deep yung dents. I got my brother's old AR M2 na talagang pumuputok na yung kahoy and the vinyl is lifting off na. I had Anthony removed the vinyl, fixed the wood & re-vinyl a new one. While at it, I had him replaced the stock tweeters with Velodyne tweets, modified the xover & even replaced the grille cloth with a new one.



Is the cabinets of the 9series Wharfes in natural wood ba or vinyl covering lang? Anthony currently uses an imported vinyl that has better quality than the locally bought vinyls - unfortunately, he has it only black.
Mahirap din mag match ng vinyls - so if you have one that needs a new vinyl - dapat both speakers na ang pabalot nyo. Ok lang cguro kung for audio, pero kung for HT medyo marami ang pababalot mo

macdon,

ganda ng transformation, looks brand new .  nabanggit nga sakin ni anthony na madadamay yun isang speaker kaya papalitan ko na rin.  i'll post its pics after transformation

Talagang ganyan sir Gobi - pag may dent, the only recourse is to use putty/masilya - so in order to do that, aalisin na yung dating vinyl cover. Syempre, pangit kung isa lang ang mapapalitan, kaya kailangan dalawa na sila.
While you're at it - papalitan mo narin ng velodyn tweets yung stock mo - para kang bumile ng bagong speakers nyan kasi mas maganda na ang tunog

got the 9.1, 9cs & 9dfs last saturday..pero binalik ko yung 9dfs kasi hindi ko mailagay sa wall bracket..kaya i ordered for the stock of 9sr instead..ayaw ko na kasi maglagay ng bagong hole sa wall..

kung 9.1, 9cs, 9sr combi ok lang ba? or 9.1, 9cs, 9.1 (lagay ko na lang sa speaker stand)..small lang naman living room ko..

more on movies and games..minsan lang music..

As I mentioned in other threads my old faithful Bose 301 had been my fronts for many years. Bought them bout 12 or 13 years ago(or more). Never had a problem with them (maybe the nieghbors did). Had put them in the closet after I upgraded to my dedicated HT with a full Paradigm system.  Recently pulled them out as am using them again but discovered (when using on high volume)  an issue with the right speaker.  Have been auditioning front firing speakers to use as surrounds while I repiar the Bose .  MIND YOU I AM ON A BUDGET.  I auditioned them for the purpose of testing the full spectrum of sound as if they were  "fronts".   Auditioned  Polk Audio, Missions, Def Tech, Jamo,  and many more.  As I am using them for surrounds my decision was very easy. Firstly  All the  speakers sounded Very good.   But for bang for buck I had to go with the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1. 

As my bose are being repaired I am now using my wharfes as fronts.  Am happy in all respects. One more thing .......  It amazes me how here in the Philippines these speakers are much cheaper than they are abroad.   Am still wondering why?

Sir i would just like to ask for your opinion. My dad was thinking of getting a 301. Do you think a 301 would sound better than warfedale's 9.1?

I'm just curious I have the following setup: 

DIAMOND 9.1 (front)
              9cs (center)
              9dfs (rear)

I'm planning to add another Rear speaker (using a 7.2 amplifier) will Floorstander speakers be worth it?  I have no more space for the front speakers to be Floorstanders kasi.   

[blackie]

Hi Yakisoba!

So your setup will be:

Floorstanders (front)
9 cs (center)
9.1 (sides)
9 dfs (rear) ?

Will you be getting floorstanders because you want more sound?  I think you will also have to consider matching of your center and fronts. If you get a 9.6 as fronts, a better match for this would be the cm.  I was thinking if you want a more "engulfed" sound why not just get additional dfs' for your rears and put the current ones you havs as sides (ala theater )?  If budget is not a concern, then go for it. the woofers on the 9.5 and 9.6 supplement very well the .1 you may currently be using

Cheers,

Blackie

p.s.  is it okay to ask waht reciever you'll be getting?

if for surrounds lang just stick to the 9.1. 

[yakisoba]

thanks guys for the tips.  how much na ba 9.1 ngayon?

[pogzz505]

tama add ka na lang ng isang pair ng 9.1 for the rear and yung 9dfs para sa surround back..i think nasa 5,500..

[jpodvd]

hmmmm... tahimik ang warfedale owners... baket kaya???


malamang "satisfied na"

Baka mejo overkill na pag 9.1 pa surround back speakers. 9sr I think will suffice. 

[mercury724]

currently using a 9.1 as my surrounds, ok naman sya for my listening.

[okidokjim]

guys ok lng ba ganitong 7.1 set up:

front = 9.5
center = 9cs
rear = 9dfs
middle sides = 9dfs

[gearhead000]

[okidokjim]

tnx sa reply. ano po magandang sub para dito? us audio 508a ba ok? o wharfe sw150? mura na ba yung 2nd hand us audio 508a sa 3.7k? tnx guys

[lmerb]

Any idea how much ang diamond 9.4?

TIA

[punkrocker]

Got to audition the 9.6 over the weekend. So far I am impressed with its "big" sound and the way it handled every musical frequency with ease. Definitely no need for a subwoofer. This baby can go looooow 

[blackie]

Nice that you liked the 9.6's punkrocker

Have a pair myself, got a subwoofer too.  Was quite a while before I got a sub to compliment these floorstanders and when I did.....that is a different story to tell

[dips15]

For those who were already in this hobby when the 9s were released, did prices for the series 8 go down before the 9s were released?

I intend on buying a set of diamond 9s before the 10s are released but am not sure if its better to buy now to ensure stock or to wait a little while longer (especially if stores discount this to make way for the new series).

[okidokjim]

guys question lng. advisable ba iwall mount ang wharfe 9.1 as  rear surround? makaka apekto ba sa tunog nya yun? may nakaabang naman kasing 2 paglalagyan ng screws sa likod nya e so wala nmng gagalawin sa body nya. tnx

[pogzz505]

kung sa rear lang naman no problem sa sound yun..for effects lang naman..
Parang mabigat nga lang tingnan kung wall mount..
