Try 50 or 60Hz with the 9.3, then try 70Hz with the 9.CM and the 9.1.

sounds good!

The 9.3s are now set to 50hz., the 9cm and 9.1 at 70hz.

Binuksan ko kagabi but did not noticed any visible defect on both driver and crossover. Naalala ni misis pinihit ni baby yung volume ng Onkyo AVR last week. Now, I have a better argument to upgrade.

bad trip napagana ko ulit yung defective speaker. sira lang pala yung resistor sa crossover

ask lang ako guys, planning to buy BS front speaker as an upgrade to my HTiB ONKYO 3400. Wharf's 9.2 is my prospect. Actually i tried my brothers dia8.2 and it was good improvement from stock FS, so my question is, ok lang ba and kaya ba ng amp ko etong 9.2? when i tested the 8.2, mejo mainit un amp ( normal ba eto ?) and my volume is around 40 to 55.

Aandar naman yan. Check mo din yung 9.3, which for me is noticeably better than the 9.2. Take note na medyo iba yung tunog ng Diamond 9 series sa Diamond 8, kung Diamond 8 ang gusto mo.

Aandar naman yan......pero not in danger zone naman un akin reciever?
iba yung tunog ng Diamond 9 series sa Diamond 8....... pero mas better ba un dia9? and since higher eto, d kaya ako magka problema matching w/ my present reciever?

I've been reading tweaks for other speakers (like using a wire for the binding post), has anybody used or tried any "tweak" for the wharfe 9 series?

Try before you buy. Dalhin mo AVR mo sa store para may idea ka sa resulting sound. The AVR won't be in danger naman, unless you play irresponsibly.

What are jumper cables sir? sorry not too familiar with cables? Jumper cables I know are the ones used in car batteries, hehe. What effect did this tweak give you?

ganito yun bro, pampalit sa 2 jumpers ng 4-terminal bi-wirable speakers:

personally i haven't tried these, my tin ears won't probably perceive the "improvement" of a few microhenrys inductance, milliohms resistance and picofarads of capacitance in such a short length of wire.

Thanks, can these cables be bought or are they DIY?

It works if you have the gear to drive it well, and that often costs a bit more than these speakers. I also prefer lively-sounding components to match with these units.

ok po, provided you have an amp that would be strong enough...

joko11 · « **Reply #3659 on:** Sep 26, 2011 at 12:05 AM »

the question is..
how strong the avr should be?
