Topic: Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series

[alistair]

Front: Diamond 9.1
Center: Diamond 9.CS
Rear: Diamond 9.SR
Subs: SW150
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V450

sabi sa akin sa Spectra, Diamond 9.DFS na lang ang gamitin ko para sa rear dahil mahina daw ang Diamond 9.SR.
ok ba ang suggestion nila o di kaya masyado malakas ang Diamond 9.DFS?

How big is your space?

Kasi you're already going for the 9.1 + 9.CS anyway. If you think that's enough for your space then I would say the 9.SR would be enough for you as well.

I have the 9.4's + 9.CM, and I only also use a pair of 9.SR's. But since they're placed at the head of my bed close to my own head, I even have to apply -4 or -5 dB adjustment on them or the 'surround' channels tend to overpower or muddy the main channels.

maliit lng space ko approx. 10 sq/m lang. siguro overkill talaga pag 9.DFS p gamitin ko sa rear. thanks for the reply.

can my hk avr135 drive wharfedale 8.4 speaker? 6 ohms ito dba my avr is rated 45 watts @ 8 ohms

[backdraft]

my HK 230 can drive my 8.4 with ease 

[scofield]

45 watts lang ksi yung 135. ok ba ang 8.4 sa audio/ht?

It's been said that HK rates its amps/AVRs very conservatively. Hence, the conservative 45 watts/channel rating coupled with HK's 'high current' technology should be able to deliver I'm guessing up to twice that. Also, Wharfedale rates its speakers at 6 ohms but also state that they're compatible with 8 ohm amps.

But don't take the specs as they are. Just look at the number of people who've happily paired their HK's with their Wharfes (I'm one of them). HK AVR 130 + 9.4's (only 86 dB sensitivity), and with a normal CD if I go higher than 10 o'clock (-15 dB) it can already be deafening.

plano ko ganito ang set-up ko for my HT

Front: Diamond 9.1
Center: Diamond 9.CS
Rear: Diamond 9.SR
Subs: SW150
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V450

sabi sa akin sa Spectra, Diamond 9.DFS na lang ang gamitin ko para sa rear dahil mahina daw ang Diamond 9.SR.

Yvesjae, why not go for 9.2 for your front-malaki talaga yun and walang pagsisihan pag andyan na.  Sabi nga ng iba, yung 9.1 pang surrounds lang nga daw eh.    My set-up is 9.2 front, CS for Center, with RXV-450 (Yammy), and I plan to get SR for the rear... but from your inputs, baka DFS nga ba ang mas maganda?  What's the approximate price difference between SR and DFS?

Regards.

Bro 9.1 or 9.2 ok yan basta compliment mo ng sub for HT. 

[markmlists]

Do diamonds 8 and 9 share the same tweeter? (I read the 8's and the crystals do).  8 and 9 same din kaya?

thanks.

[ronjet]

i found out on the net that the selling price of 9.6 is US$800/pair ...is this true? sobrang mahal pala talaga sa ibang country nito. how come na dito hindi naman siya ganung kataas price? meron kaya pinagkaiba sa pagkagawa?

[john5479]

@ronjet: wala, we're just closer to china hehe

napuntahan ko yung website ng wharfedale at pwede mo i-download ang brochure ng diamond 9 series. eto link:
http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/images/ranges/brochure_3.pdf

based dito, recommended lang ang SR para sa 9.1 and 9.2. ang DFS ay preferred pag 9.4 and above ang front mo.
9.SR is P3800 and 9.DFS is P4500 sa Spectra.

I got a diamond 9 cs which was bought just this December, do center speakers need breaking in? How is it done, the same ba sa front speakers?  Thanks.

Yup run them in just like your front speaker.

tanggalin mo yung cover din para makita mo na kung anong setting sa receiver mo na ni-exercise yung baffles ng center mo ng maayos.

Guys,

To those who love to bi-wire there Diamonds 9 series use silver wire for your HF and copper for the LF naman.. IMHO better and improved the overall sound.

had a wharf 9.6, 9cm, wh2, sw150, with yammy 440 driving them.  no sign of strain on the reciever and it drives them with gusto.

Pag nagkaroon ako niyan gagamitin ko sa HF EL84 tapos sa LF EL34 and driven by a KenRad 6SN7 preamp. 

Ang sarap mangarap KoYa.
