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

Hi okidokjim,

I have a pair of 9.1's which I use for rears. I put them on speaker stands though. Pretty happy with that setup. I believe that there are wall mount stands out there that you can use to wall mount your speakers. As long as you don't drill new holes, don't think there's a problem using them as rears.

Cheers!

@Tein

Depends din ata sa preferred sound mo. If you're getting the bigger ones like the 9.6 or the 9.5, and crossing low (or not using a sub) mas maganda for me kung maganda ang damping factor nung receiver/amp. Wire them well with such a receiver amp, kasi may tendency sila magoverhang/ring... which will make things sound boomy and muddy.

i've recently upgraded my fronts with 9.5s and the sound stage is much better, at first i was having second thoughts of the 9.5 due to some feedback that it sounds muddy or too boomy but i was happy cause i didn't experience that so called muddy or boomy sound from my 9.5s and was able to maximize the 9.5's power with my amps.

Pwede na yung 9.CS kapag 9.1 kukunin mo for fronts. Kung 7.1, DFS on the sides and 9.1 on the back.

Magandang dispersed yung nasa gilid, while directional yung galing sa likod. Baka di ganun ka-significant yung improvement in going 7.1 if DFS rin yung sa likod.

tein · « **Reply #3369 on:** Jul 01, 2009 at 09:41 PM »

so basically kapag :

7.1 setup
front = wharfedale diamond 9.1
center = wharfedale diamond 9cs
rear = wharfedale diamond 9.1
middle sides = wharfedale diamond 9dfs

5.1 setup

front = wharfedale diamond 9.1
center = wharfedale diamond 9cs
rear = wharfedale diamond 9dfs

tama ba mga sir?

9.6 gamit ko, pag sa Pioneer receiver ko boomy for me. Pero sa cambridge integrated amp walang problema. Di ko alam kung damping nung amp or talagang ganun lang ang response nung Pioneer (possible).

Hi i was thinking also of the 9.5s, may i ask which amp are you using for this?

Stagea · « **Reply #3372 on:** Jul 10, 2009 at 06:49 AM »

I think the 9.5/9.6 sounds best with SS amps and valve amps with good damping. The bottom end can sound out of control with other valve amps.

i really didn't experience any boominess with my 9.5's too. as a perspective, remember that the woofer is crossed over to a low 140hz, much like with some pc subwoofers or htib sub... thus freeing the midbass of LF duties. that's why sometimes even without one, you can get a feel of the benefit of stereo subs just with the 9.5. of course they really won't go to the depths of a proper sub, but can approximate it to some extent.

Pretty happy with the Denon Wharfe combo

Primarily use it for HT and Music

punkrocker · « **Reply #3376 on:** Jul 13, 2009 at 01:13 PM »

I'd avoid the 9.5/9.6 with tube amps because they can get boomy and muddy. The lows can get distorted as well although the lack of power from entry level tube amps can be attributed from it.

Basing from what I've heard, these floorstanders have no major problem when paired with Solid State amps.

Looks like hindi na front firing yung baffle ng 10.1 unlike sa 9.1. Bakit kaya? I think all of them ganun na ang design.

barrister · « **Reply #3388 on:** Aug 25, 2009 at 09:43 AM »

Compared with the 9.1, the 10.1's woofer is slightly smaller, and the ports were moved to the rear.

The bass sounds different, according to an avsforum member: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=17051938

I think they do. I got termites on mine before and they dint harm the wood at all! they just stayed on the outside and made their mud tunnel. Cant remember if the finish got any marks but definitely the speakers were not compromised at all when I wiped off the mud. Thats for the older series of wharfes, so im sure the newer ones are the same if not better.
