the diamond 9 dfs is larger and has different woofers from the dfs.

dapat meron syang 4 na rubber feet installed. ganon ang sa akin.
according din sa manual, meron dapat kasama na extra taller rubber feets para kung i-angle mo yung position ng 9cs. eto ang wala kasama sa nabili ko 9cs.

The package should include the plinths and metal spikes.  Mine has them.

[barrister]

Thanks, bosing.  I finally got my speakers yesterday, meron namang plinths and spikes. Hindi ko siguro magagamit ang spikes, pero dapat pa ring may spikes sa set, para mas madaling ibenta when the time comes.

I just got a a pair of Diamond 9.2s for my T-Amp. I've been using my Marantz to break them in and I'm impressed! You really can't beat the price/performance (except for DIYs maybe)!

[taggart]

impressions ko after using rxv750+9.1+9cs+wh2+sw150 for HT.  wow!  very well-integrated yung sound at panning is pretty good.  yung namiss ko lang sa floorstanders ko dati is the gunshots have more depth and sound more realistic.  other than that this is a good combo.  also had an issue with the left 9.1 crackling on loud complex scenes which turned out to be due to a loose connection.  also got the rubber feet from spectra na.  nice!

Yup even with just 9.1 kakatuwa yun panning walang butas sa sound.. Congrats dyan sir.

Guys...

Ok lan kaya ang ganitong setup:
Center - Diamond 9cm
Fronts - Diamond 9.5
Surrounds - Diamond 9 DFS
Surround Back - Diamond 9 DFS

for my 16sq.m. room?

[jeckjeck]

baka malaki masyado 9.5 for your room... siguro kuha ka na lang ng 9.2 or 9.4 then use the extra money for a good sub...

[taggart]

thanks sir hans!  for the quality and sound, bang for the buck talaga! 

[spy45cal]

Sir  jeckjeck...

what if i use 9.5 without a sub? kaya na kaya nya i-handle yung LFE? Like saving private ryan?

[barrister]

Makikisabat muna ako habang wala pang reply si sir jeckjeck.

Kayang-kaya naman ng 9.5 ang LFE kahit walang sub. 

Ang problema lang ng floorstanders na walang sub, nababawasan nang konti ang midrange and mid-bass clarity pag nasa "Large" ang speaker setting ng receiver.  Pag nilagyan mo ng crossover, biglang lumilinaw ang mids.  So, advisable pa rin ang crossover cut-off with sub (by setting speakers to "Small" on the receiver) kahit naka-floorstander ka.

Thanks sa reply bro...

So ibig sabihin, I need to buy a sub.... Gastos talaga ng hobby na ito....

sir spy, if you're more onto HT talaga and big concern mo is the LFE from film like the one you had mention po.definitely A BIG YES!  IMHO, a SUB IS A MUST in HT. ok lang po yan sir, pag ginastosan mo yung sub,khit anong brand pa yan.enjoy na enjoy mo talaga HT mo iba parin talaga ang may sub pagdating sa ht.

I'm plannig to buy a 9.5 this month...   Ano kaya sa tingin nyo dapat ko unahin? Front speaker (Wharfe Diamond 9.5) or Sub (SW150)?
BTW i already have:

avr: hk235
center: Wharfe Diamond 9cm
front: mini compo speaker (Phillips 3000w PMPO)
surround: mini compo speaker ( Sony 75w max)

What do you think mga bro?

[jeckjeck]

Sir  jeckjeck...

I guess nasagot na ng iba. As already mentioned, if you are more into, HT hindi pwedeng walang sub... Butas yung LFE mo nyan... I suggest you get a 9.2 bookshelf or a 9.4 kung gusto mo talaga ng floorstander then buy a very good 10 to 12 inch sub like a Velodyne or a Klipsch or a Polk Audio...

spy45cal,

IMHO dapat mo unahin yung 9.5 before the sub since meron ka na pala 9cm to get timbre matching.  you may want to look at other brands of subwoofer na mas mura or mas mahal sa sw150 depending on your budget, 10" or 12" will do but since you mentioned that you are more into ht i suggest 12" na. 

i was an ex-owner of sw150,  for me bitin sa ht pero for audio ok sya.  compared it to kimpao's dq12 and a friend's US audio 12".....better LFE yung dalawang 12" sub sa HT pero the sw150 had an edge when it comes to audio.  Heard matzter's velodyne and all i can say is.....PANALO  ! syempre ibang price bracket na ang velodynes. 

you can also look at the marketplace for preowned subs (US audio, Dynaquest dq12, velodyne) from fellow pinoydvd members kung gusto mo makatipid at makatulong.    last mo na kunin yung surrounds.

What do you mean butas yung LFE?
Regarding sa sub di ko kaya ang velo n klipsch e... Mga 10K lan budget ko for sub....

Thanks sir,

What do you recommend na sub na ok for HT pero 10K below ang budget? Syempre compatible with wharfe's....   Sorry Mods medyo OT na ata yung topic....
