Hey guys,

Maiba naman po. I read in another forum that Diamond 9's uses the same drivers as the Quad's. Anyway, has anyone replaced the stock parts inside their diamond 9's? Baka kc pwedeng maging kasing-tunog ng Quad's hehehe

Stereophile nagreview ng budget..

Stereophile nagreview ng budget..

Yes, Sir Hans. Stereophile reviews budget (under $400 or so) components too. Probably to increase sales.

Hello,

Has anyone paired Wharfe Diamond 9.1/9.2/9.3/9.6 with a tube amp with less than 10 watts power output? Kumusta naman?

Salamat.

Salamat.

We tried 25 to 30 watts PP EL34 amp and had very good result pero sa 10watts I doubt pwede tutunog but not optimal.

[markmlists]

Thanks!

part of the review ni robert reina sa stereophile of the diamond 9.1:

Rave Review from Stereophile
The Diamond 9.1 also won a rave review from Robert J. Reina in the 2005 issue of Stereophile magazine. "Wharfedale has a winner with the Diamond 9.1, a diminutive and attractive satellite speaker that does almost everything right and is a superb value," he writes. "In its midrange and high-frequency resolution it behaved more like a speaker with a four figure price tag. What more can one ask of an affordable speaker? Well done!"

[kemozavi]

I was at bangkok hunting for speakers out of curiousity I asked one of the sales person kung magkano yung diamond 9.5,,, bigla ako sa price dahil lumalabas converted sa Peso 23000 yung pair,,, among sa line up ng speakers nila it was one of the most expensive talo pa niya prices ng mga matataas na model ng ms. Normally kasi doon sa pinuntahan kong store 40% cheaper yung mga products nila compared sa prices natin dito.

Sabi ng salesperson made in Europe daw sila(not sure pero hindi sila china) so I auditioned them, Ganda ng Sound!!! I'm not an audiophile or anything pero kung icocompare ko sila sa AE Evo1 ko malayo talaga yung clarity tsaka mids. 

Yung set up ng room kung saan ko inaudition yung Diamonds is parang yung sa AA the speakers were driven by a Marantz power amp hindi ko natanong yung model... 

Napansin ko rin yung tweeters na nakalagay doon sa diamond 9.5 it was a little shiny if you'd compare it sa mga tweeters na nakalagay sa mga wharfedale speakers dito sa pinas...

[bumblebee]

Hi NiRo.

How is it shiny? Hindi kaya effect ng lighting ng shop yun?

[kemozavi]

Same material siya sir like the ones here in the philippines kaya lang parang may outter coat siya... I had a diamond 8.2 earlier if i'm not mistaken pareho sila ng tweeters ng diamond 9s. Kung ifefeel mo yung tweeters ng mga nandito parang madaling lumubog and parang silk talaga,,, the ones that i saw medyo metallic yung feel...

[jsllobrera]

Di kaya imitation nalang ang mga diamond 9 dito sa Pinas Kasi made in China at diba maraming imitation sa China

Wharfedale Diamond 9's are made in China. If it's made in UK, yun ang imitation

[Abad Santos 7]

I think the original ones are in europe(UK), there are just mass produced in China for
cost consideration to cater some markets.

But for the quality, i think there should be no big difference since they should be using 1
standard manufacturing procedures and specifications.

[vvt-i]

According to mang ben of spectra, wharfedale speakers up to pacific evolution series (not sure re opus) are all made in china.  even the quads (11L and 12L) which is owned by the mother company of wharfs IAG-International Audio Group (Chinese-owned UK based company)which happens also to be the new owner of Missions and TAG Mclaren.

Hi,

To those who auditioned 9.1 and 9.2, what speaker is subjectively better (clearer, 'faster' etc) for you (opinions welcome)?

Is 9.2 just louder and not necessarily better (subjectively again) than 9.1?

Would you recommend 9.2 instead of 9.1? Room size is just 20-30 square meters. Room mode is immaterial I think, as I listen near field.

Thanks.

Your room is big. How about floorstanders?

[oweidah]

floorstanders with 90+db sensitivity 

[markmlists]

Bumblebee and Awadeh,

Thanks. I was thinking of another room.
The Actual room which could  eventually use the diamonds is just 8-10 sq m.
I apologize for the confusion.. 9.1 or 9.2? Thanks for your patience.

For audio or HT??. what amp will you pair the 9 series.

[markmlists]

70% music/30% 2-ch DVD. NAD C320 40wpc. Player is Sony CDP-611 or Pioneer DV-585

Thanks!

[bumblebee]

I owned the 9.1's and will get them again So, I recommend the 9.1's

The 9.2's have more bass. In another forum, someone said that the 9.1's have better midrange. Probably due to the smaller woofers.

[oweidah]

9.1 or 9.2?

i have 9.1 86db 6ohms but your current ms5.20 86db 8ohms to me sounds bigger warmer but short on highs (treble). baka mabitin ka lows (bass) pag gusto mo hataw ledzep mobydick?
i stil feel floorstanders with 90db is best for your longterm use- ht &/or stereo....
