malaki ba difference ng d8 center sa d9 center. i'm more inclined to get the d9 center para mas bago na and iwas upgrade na ng center for the mean time.

other gurus, which do you prefer if you're gonna pair it with diamond 8.4?

thanks

Agree with Alistar as much as possible same model yun center and fronts mo. pero pwede yun plan mo to get the 9 series center better audition them sa mga stores like spectra they carry both models.

Ahh... you didn't mention you were planning to upgrade.

If you're planning to upgrade real soon, then maybe go with the 9 center. On the other hand - why don't you upgrade your fronts first? After all, how much is a (brand new) 9CM? 5 thou or so? If you sell your 8.4's and go for 9.4's you'll probably end up spending less than that. I find that a center doesn't really add much unless you already have 2 fronts and 2 surrounds.

If you already have two surrounds (bale 4.0 or 4.1 ka na) then maybe go with a 9 center and then eventually 9's oldawei. Personally, though, why just the 9's? :D If you're seriously upgrading, why not go oldawei na rin and move up to the next price/performance 'bracket'? :)

Interesting to learn that the B&W 303 is priced the same as a Wharfedale 9.1 in English pounds.

Either the Wharf is a Php5500 speaker priced at £180 or a £180 speaker priced at Php5500 ???

I think it's more the latter, which speaks volumes about its value in terms of price-performance.  Especially in the local scene.

I'm leaning towards the latter too (justifying ;D). According to a member from a UK-based forum who works for a rival brand admitted that the new diamonds were "well built, innovative and uses excellent componentry".

for me, the diamond 9 is a logical upgrade from the 8's and its not just a simple step upgrade and/or an upgrade to a newer model but a "jump", ang layo ng diamond 8 sa 9 (personally ha) in all possible aspect, its like coming from an entry level and going to mid level.


historically i had an 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 and a diamond 8 center, after a few other speakers in between (including ribbons) am now back to wharfes, a 9.6 and 9 cm. i dont think ill be changing speakers again, soon.
