Topic: Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series

[keema]

sir, may pagkakaiba ba ang diamond 8.4 sa 9.5? pagdating sa tunog...salamat...

[spy45cal]

If budget permits i'll go for an MA.
Mas gusto ko ang tunog nya.
OK din ang Dali try to audition it.

But im contemplating on buying a wharfs kapos kasi budget ko.

If I where you, ipon nalang muna ko then ill buy my preferred speaker para di agad ma SARS...   IMHO...

[ronjet]

sir newbie, take the advice of sir spy45cal... that way, less gastos ka din in terms of upgrade sa speakers..kasi yung MA and Dali talaga ang gusto mo. in the end, baka maDALI ka nang gastos

peace.

[crenshaw]

If you've done some comparisons and you honestly prefer the sound of one brand over another, then save up for it.  It won't serve you much to get something you don't like just because it fits your budget. 

Also don't let price tags influence your preference.  It's easy to fall into the trap that the more expensive brand A is the better sounding.  There are reasons behind the price tag other than sonic quality.  Including local conditions that influence those pricing.   Brand A may be more expensive here than brand B but it may surprise you that on the net or in other countries, the opposite condition might exist.  Pinoys are actually blessed that wharfedale diamonds are relatively inexpensive here compared to their prices in Europe or on the net in relation to other brands in the same performance category.

Help naman guys...

Ano ba ang correct position or clearance ng 9DFS pag kinabit sa rear wall?  Rear wall lang kasi option ko e... 5.1 lang po yung set up...

Malaki ba ang difference ng sound quality and performance between WH2 sa 9DFS?



TIA

depends on ur set-up 5.1 ba or 7.1 atleast 6ft above d ground...position it slightly behind listening position if 7.1 or directly behind listening position sa 5.1 

[spy45cal]

sir @nk71  5.1 lang po yung setup ko and rear wall lang ang pwede ko kabitan ng 9DFS...   Pwede ba 1.5 meters lang ang distance between two speakers?  Pwede ba 5feet from the floor yun taas ng speaker or 2feet above ear level ang taas?

[Jairus]

Here's how I set-up my DFS (Diamond 8 nga lang).  Height is approximately 30 inches (from listener's ear to the DFS's tweeters). Distance between the two DFS is approximately 2.5 meters.  For me, this set-up provides excellent surround effects and is even good for 5.1 music

not sure kung kaya but after hearing Wharfes 9.x + HK, IMHO parang ngongo from the center channel mahirap intindihan ang dialogue.  not the case though with a Yamaha receiver.

how about yamy 657? pwede na ba nya drive a 9.5, 9cm, 9dfs/9.1 setup?

[taggart]

you're probably better off powerwise with the HK135.  alam ko mas malakas HK.  di ko lang type.  kung 9.1, 9cm, 9dfs/wh2 combo kaya ng 657 but with the 9.5 I'm not so sure.

[atomicat10]

Si Sir Barrister ask nyo sa ganitong setup(9.5 and 657)

 Positive ang reviews nya.

[spy45cal]

Finally I made up my mind...  I just bought yesterday my 9DFDS @ Spectra for 4,500...  Im just wondering how to break in my surround, sa pagkakaalam ko kasi bihira lang tumunog ang surround e (correct me if im wrong)...

TIA

[atomicat10]

If this can be considered a loudspeaker (hence the need of a break-in) I suggest you use the receiver's tuner (save on electricity) and use all channel stereo for listening.

Hi Guys,

Im plaaning to save some money and start a new HT set-up. My first option is an  HK AVR and Wharfedale Diamond 8 speakers combo. The other one is an Onkyo-Bose AM5 combo. Which one is better? I know for sure na mas mura ang second option ko, but i want to hear comments and recommendations also from the expert. Bka with few extra bucks would mean a big difference in quality

As for Wharfedale Diamond 8 set-up, what would you recommend for Front, Rear and Center speakers? Sorry hindi kse ako familair sa Wharfedale If you may, can you also provide me an estimate how much will each component cost.

TIA

Consider getting a more powerful AVR.  Heard the 357 in  3X3m room, the volume was cranked up to -5db to have decent loudness level.  Try scouting the buy & sell section for second hand entry level HKs.  Just my 1 cent. 

[Pawski]

Thanks for the comment.  Any suggested AVR model that would match the ff.
