yup i agree too! but do u guys have recommendations based on your findings?

If you have a sub, you may want to set all other speakers to SMALL. That way, the amp won't have to labor that much.

[kt]

bro bee! yup thats my setting ever since! hehe baka lang im missing out something since capable naman sa full range ang floorstanders eh...hehe

[H a n $]

Usually, floorstanders will give you more bass. Standmounts will give you better bass.

  I might disagree on this sir depends sa model.

anong setup ang mas ok para sa receiver na yamaha rx-v440, wharfdales or ae? tanong lang po. kse based on sa sensitivity issue mukhang mas madaling ma drive yung mga ae's ng yamaha compared sa wharfedales. i need your comment

On spec mukhang laman AE compare to Wharf with regards to drivability.. pero very minimal lang yan baka di pa ma notice, and I believe your AVR can drive both models with Gusto ( party level ) syempre you'll have a sub to compliment your front so lalong wlang problem ..  Audition which model you prefer both speaker are on the warm side..

yes the dfs are available here.  i saw a pair sa spectra.

[moks]

how much yung dfs sa spectra?

[vvt-i]

did not ask. better if you dropby spectra para they can give you the discounted price.

[moks]

ano mas ok kung pang ht application 9.1 o 9.2? using sub na velodyne cht-10r

[H a n $]

ano mas ok kung pang ht application 9.1 o 9.2? using sub na velodyne cht-10r

9.2 lahat + sub?? maganda yan.. pero even 9.1 pwede basta may sub sa HT SUB is a must!.

[eagumban]

....yung diamond na dfs surrounds ba avialable na dito sa pinas?

Available na.  Just bought 1 pair last week.  Got it for 4950 at Cebu.  Sa Manila mas mura pero wala akong magawa nahawa na kasi ng SARS kailangang gamutin

Anyway, at last my wharf 7.1 setup is complete(9.5, 9cs, 2-9dfs and cht-10)... what can I say...   FULLY SATISFIED.   

Mas magandala talaga kung timber match....seamless ang sound ng mga fly-by. he he he.

Eagumban, Bai, taga Cebu pud diay ka.

Anyway, Congrats sa set-up mo.  Ako, nasa 50% finish na ako.  9.2, 9cs pa lang ang meron sa akin.  planning to get an SR or DFS... malaki ba difference ng SR at DFS?

itgbkj, actually I'm from Bacolod but I went to cebu every month.  Ok lang bay kay maka sabot man ko... he he he... .

Actually, I haven't tested SR as against DFS but, I just followed what was recommended on the brochure of diamond 9 for my specific size of room,  and there is an advantage and disadvantage between this two as I know from previous threads. DFS is a bi-polar which is great for ambiance plus the direct sound, as you may have noticed there are two speakers, one facing the listener and the other facing the wall. SR are most likely to be more of direct sound which is great for concerts. The downside is DFS (86db) is less sensitive compared to SR (88db) but DFS can handle power up to 200W as compared to SR which can only handle up to 60W which is good for me since I have a bigger amp.  Ma handle ng DFS ko ang power ng Yammy 1500, hindi sya madaling masira.  There must be more difference between the two that other gurus can explain....

Don't worry about your setup... it will be complete soon.  It took me two years to complete... medyo matagal pero worth it. Be patient.

baka kasi yata don sa grill kasi parang leather yata na makapal yung material non sir eh..
pwede kaya labhan yon?  or sabunin?

[BuLLeT]

I'm sorry of this has been posted already as I was not able to read the past few pages.
Here is a review of the Diamond 9.1 in stereophile.

Thanks.


A portion of the review:

"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. 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!"

Wag mong labhan. Baka mawalan ng dikit yung glue nun.

ok thanks sir bumblebee 

[jeckjeck]

finally decided on getting the Diamond 9.1 this afternoon na-convince ako ng todo doon sa link posted by bumblebee (thanks bro!) Actually I auditioned pa the 9.2 and 9.4 pero masmalinis pa rin yung sound ng 9.1... super smooth yung sound at clarong claro... even the guy at the shop who was convincing me to get the 9.4s noticed the difference... I was looking to get floorstanders kasi but I'm very happy with this purchase... Major upgrade yung audio quality from my small MS satellites before... next stop... subs still deciding if I will get the CHT-8r, VX-10 or SW150 -- still canvassing (Yung SW150 pala ng Wharfe awarded din in 2004)

I'm breaking them in now with my audio cds... Julia Fordham, John Legend, Rod Stewart, Mishka Adams, U2... five hours and counting pa lang... Yung pagkapaos ni Rod Stewart litaw na litaw sa 9.1s which I never noticed sa MS!... 

How long do I need to break them in? Any prefered music for break in? Jazz? Rock? By the way, pati ba sub, center at rear kailangang i-break in? Paano?

set your receiver to 5-channel stereo, then rock on!

congrats on your new speakers

[ianmorales]

Sir, 
ask ko lang if i can use the 9.1 as my front speaker. Kasi parang maliit sya. I'm  pairing it with a amx el84 amp.

 thanks!
