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

sir, try mo yung PSB B2.

@cray, buzzworth - thanks guys for the quick replies and recommendations. ang mahal pala nung RTI A3, hehe... sa mga mission speakers meron ba? how about yung M31, M30, M3C2, M3C1?

guys padaan po

i have onkyo HTIB
ht-s3305

i am planning to upgrade the fronts to diamond 9.1
how much and price nito ngayon ...?
ung used?

base dun sa nasearch ko sa net mas ok nung
nagupgrade sa 9.1 or monitor audio br2

pang dagdag base lang sa passive sub ko
wala kasi me makita na monitor audio mas malakas daw sa base un compare sa 9.1

para lang sana sa pagpapatugtug ko medyo bitin lang kapag music ung htib e..

9.1 or 9.3 then 9cs
or
try mo ung 9.5 and 9cm - FS yan
surround kahit saka na muna

Stagea · « **Reply #3730 on:** Apr 03, 2012 at 04:37 PM »

The Diamond 9.3 works better with the 9.cm, imho. The 9.cs has a darker character that's closer to the 9.1/9.2 sound.

This coincides with Wharfedale's recommended Center and L/R pairing. The 9.3 and the 9.cm are probably voiced for bigger rooms, where the listener sits further away from the speakers.

The 9.1/9.cs set is supposedly suitable for rooms upto 12 sq.m., while the 9.3/9.cm set is designed to handle rooms beyond 18 sq.m.

hi guys... i currently have the diamond 9 cinema series and am thinking of upgrading my 9.0 fronts to a 9.4/9.5... i am not sure if my onkyo 608 would have enough juice to satisfy the power requirements for the 9.4 or even the 9.5

sars bug has bitten and appreciate your advise... thanks

try to pm wacksy1021 and paolorenzo regarding your question ,these are some of the members who has the same set up although wacksy has already upgraded his gears.

@ Sir raider125jeigh and Sir Stagea
Tnx na marami i'll try to audition both.

chrisbulog · « **Reply #3735 on:** Apr 11, 2012 at 09:22 AM »

I have a 9.4 FS, driving it with Pio 520k. Im satidfied with movies but music bitin.

I would like to buy a separate T-amp or integrated amp for music.

Pwede ko ba gamitin yung 9.4 for this at the same time nakakabit din ito sa Pio ko?

I noticed at the back of the speakers are 2 terminals (LF/HF), pwede po ba 2 amps ikabit dun?

Sorry sa noob query.

snobol68 · « **Reply #3736 on:** Apr 11, 2012 at 08:38 PM »

you should get an amp switcher by sir mackrenz

joko11 · « **Reply #3737 on:** Apr 11, 2012 at 11:23 PM »

or build another set dedicated for audio listening.
FR speaker lang at t-amp hindi masakit sa bulsa

redram · « **Reply #3738 on:** Apr 14, 2012 at 10:29 AM »

@chrisbulog, i too have the same setup Pioneer 520k and wharfe 9cs, 9.4, surround.
try turning on your sub even listening to music for me it sounds much better.
without it medyo kulang but depends on what music type you are listening to.

mga sir kaya ba ng hk 165 ang 9.5 + 9cs + 10dfs + sw150?

ano marecommend niyo sa avr na to?

thanks

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3740 on:** Apr 17, 2012 at 11:47 PM »

kaya yan, High Instantaneous Current Capable naman ang HK avr's

may setup ako na:
HK240 + 9.6 + 9cm + 9DFS + USAudio 512 Sub
HK245 + 9.6 + 9cm + 9DFS + USAudio 512 Sub
kayang kaya i-drive wharfs, no distortion whatsoever.

@Allan_2180, ok sir thanks kayang kaya pala..

sir malayo ba tunog ng 9.5 at 9.6? kasi magkalapit ang price nila..
tsaka sir magkano USAudio 512? same lang ba tunog neto sa wharf sw150?

pasensiya na sir first setup ko palang tsaka taga province kasi kaya hindi maka audition..

Imho, malayo ang tunog nila. If they didn't look similar, you might not even think that they're from the same family. Though kung alin ang mas maganda sayo is purely dependent on your preference and how they interact with your components and your room.

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3743 on:** Apr 19, 2012 at 07:40 AM »

imho magkaiba sila, mas emphasized ang low at midrange ng 9.6, at kung maliit ang room mo
kahit walang subwoofer malakas at deep na din ang bass. make sure na nka LARGE ang speakers
at nka SUBWOOFER OFF ang setting ng HK AVR mo.

pra din sa akin ok ang USAudio 512, although after a year nasira ung woofer at pinalitan ko ng
JBL GT5 12" woofer. sa sound sabi ng binilan ko dati na mas matigas ang bass ng SW150
at mas softer naman ang bass ng USAudio, 4yrs ago nasa 6T ko lang ata nabili.
kung may space at extra budget ka go for 9.6, pero dapat nka 9cm ka naman pra match.

ang masasabi ko lang sa HK AVR + Wharf setup e warm at mas malinaw ang mids.

saan ba province mo?

imo you better get a mid to hi end level receiver to bring out the best out of that 9.6.

ajt · « **Reply #3746 on:** Apr 19, 2012 at 11:34 AM »

Thanks sa opinions sir stagea and allan_2180

@allan_2180 sir mga 5x5m lang yung room..

so ok lang pala mag 9.6 + 9cm + dfs ?

sir isabela pa ako sa north mga 8hrs road trip pa to manila..

I truly agree. The 9.6 demands quite a bit of current and sounds better with good damping.

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3748 on:** Apr 20, 2012 at 07:55 AM »

this might help you decide
a clip from from Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series Brochure:

Go for Large Room/Large System 5.1Ch setup
for greater soundstage.

kung stereo listening kahit walang sub ok lang
but for watching HD movies,
kailangan mo pa din ng subwoofer for handling LFE signals
at bawas stress sa fronts mo.

instead na mag-add ka ng SW250 or SW150 na worth P18T/P10T,
buy US Audio 512 12" sub na lang for P6T-P7T,
mas mura at praktikal ksi.
