Mga sir, if wharfe 9.2, 9cs, 9dfs, have the same price as polk rti a3, csi a4, fxi a4, what would you choose?. I would also buy what avr best suits them. What I have right now is a pio 520k and bose 301, and i would like to change my system.

TIA

i might choose the polk line up. they have better finish (real wood veneer) and are easier to drive than the wharfes.

i would go for polk not because its better sounding, but because its relatively easier to drive.

polk is too bright for me at high volume but soften and more pleasing to listen when i turn down the volume knob of a denon 1911.naging mas klaro ang high and mid

energy take classics 5.0? i'd go for the trade 9.6 2nd hand price alone would go for at least 10 to 12k. 9cm, sa tingin ko di bababa ng 3.5k to 4k used price. have not really heard the energy line, but judging by the driver sizes, the wharfes would have more slam for ht.

you have to consider the amp that you plan to use for the wahrfes. make sure it has enough juice to drive the 9.6

i believe both, but sometimes none. cdp being used.

might be the amp.... or the interconnects...

CMac · « **Reply #3706 on:** Nov 24, 2011 at 04:03 PM »

very hard to determine unless you can temporarily replace each component and deduce the exact culprit.

if rca cables are used from cdp to amp, maybe i'll start with those. good luck

Try a CD that you're sure is clean (a Zero Bit Track would be very useful for this test). If it only happens when a track is playing back, it's likely the cdp. If it happens even when you switch to other inputs (even those that don't have components on them), then it's likely the preamp or the power amp (unless they utilize noise gates).

Damp cloth is the safest choice.

Thanks, I'm noticing some kind of "mold" around the woofer eh, I dont want to use any chemical, hehe.

That parang change in color? Noticed it too. Came out after a few years. Like you, don't use any cleaning chemicals. I think as long as it is "rubbery" then it should be ok. My fear is that putting anything may make that rubber material around the woofer brittle.

its ok when the grilles are on, but it bothers me when I see it when the grilles are off.

I'm also apprehensive that some chemicals may make the rubber brittle.

Try mo sir. The Kandy K2 should be able to deliver good current basta wag sobrang lakasan.

The 9.6 is a very current-hungry speaker.

tanong ko lang sa mga experts dito, what's a good upgrade for my 9.1? going to use for audio, thanks. Sobrang satisfied ako sa 9.1 ko pero more than 3 years na din sya so medyo inaabot na ako ng upgrade itch hehe ... Hopefully kasing budget friendly lang din ng 9.1, many thanks
