My 9.3, 9CM and 9.1 were all modded by anthony around 2 years ago, they sound a lot better, it got rid of that "ngongo" sound of the 9 series.

You also get better power handling and efficiency with the 9.3.

Hello mga master, I just placed my Diamond 9.1s on the floor. Does it really affect the sound quality? (I still don't have speaker stands)

Thanks.

Thanks.

i've had my 9.3 for almost a year now but i don't have stands yet either

pansamantagal monoblock stools ang gamit ko until i decide (and have enough spare cash) for proper stands. i know it's not the best choice of stands but it is better than just leaver BS speakers on the floor. iniisip ko rin kasi pag nagupgrade ako ng speakers dapat sukat pa rin dun sa stands na bibilhin ko.

rhodem24 · « **Reply #3854 on:** Sep 27, 2012 at 08:29 AM »

Thanks mga sir. Ang mahal po kasi ng stands. 3-4K.

Thanks to this thread I headed to Anthony Audio to have the Wharfedale 9.1+9CS tuned.
After buying these speakers I kept feeling that they did not provide the clarity and body I wanted.
It was as if these was something missing in the middle notes.
Also, the listening area was small.
Shared what I wanted with Anthony and he said to come back after 3-days.

Got them back yesterday after tweeters were replaced and cross over tuned.
Once I got home I tested them side by side the Polk A3s in the music area.
They now sound identical but the 9.1 on stereo has more clarity on vocals which is what I desire and requested from Anthony.

On Stereo I also keep looking at the 9Cs to see if the sound if coming from the center because of the improved sound field. I even disconnected the Center just to be sure. LoL!
On 5.1 the 9Cs provides more depth.
I now have the audio quality in the Study Den at a very affordable cost.
Super Sulit!

Thank you very much to this helpful thread! More Power!

Good to hear that bro. Ang layo ko kasi sa Manila. Gusto ko rin sana ipa doctor kay Sir Anthony yung 9.1 and 9CS ko, kaso nasa Cebu ako.

let me guess.... vifa

CoolTOYZPH · « **Reply #3859 on:** Sep 27, 2012 at 10:58 PM »

I forgot to record what tweeter was used.
It was not Vifa because it would come out too expensive and needed more mods because of the size.

Anthony gave me the warf tweeters to keep as souvenir.
Definitely these tweeters are not going back to the boxes

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3860 on:** Sep 27, 2012 at 11:09 PM »

Does the new tweeters seamlessly fit on wharf's front?
Maybe you could share picture of your wharf?
Tnx!

The 3xx and 4xx series AV receivers from Yamaha cannot support much current. I suggest looking at Polk M speakers, as they are very easy to drive.

zerocul · « **Reply #3865 on:** Nov 23, 2012 at 04:33 AM »

What do you mean it cannot support it? I wont be able to use this speaker set to this A/V reciever?

gunslinger · « **Reply #3866 on:** Nov 23, 2012 at 08:29 AM »

You can but it may not have enough juice to power the speakers if you play it loud.

rafa_palma · « **Reply #3867 on:** Nov 23, 2012 at 10:08 AM »

You may also want to consider Pioneer receiver for your diamond 9 set-up.

It can run those speakers, but it can't support a lot of current. I just realized that you're looking at a sattelite set. Your AVR should power those just fine. I thought you were looking at getting burlier models.

I agree. It's a combination that's worth exploring, especially at the entry level.

zerocul · « **Reply #3869 on:** Nov 23, 2012 at 10:48 PM »

Thanks

Is Pioneer A/V receivers more powerful than Yamaha even the entry level Pioneer?
