That's great news indeed, well at least for me.

the Diamond 9.5s are priced lower that 12.5K at the SGT Home Theater... may free delivery pa! I got mine from Sir Sonny... excellent service... excellent speakers!

The 9.5s are really wonderful... I find myself listening in 2 channel now more often... I've dug up a lot of my CDs to listen to them with the Wharfes...

I was actually pleasantly surpriced that the 9.5 can go down to 30hz. Which is excellent any way you look at it. Even beats some subs.

I agree. My sub project was scrubbed because of this.

Tahimik na lang muna, I shouldn't have started the topic. Baka magka-idea yung Spectra.

Ok lang av_phile. Thats the suggested retail price of the distributor naman. Even the Wharfedale dealer in raon observes this SRP. Itaas nila price to the point where it reaches monitor audio, bw, mission, wala ng bibili. Besides, the holier than though audiophiles who bring prestige (and therefore subjective sales impulses) wont buy them anytime soon.

etneroll · « **Reply #2171 on:** Nov 01, 2006 at 05:01 PM »

huwag naman sana...uuwi pa naman ako next month at bibilihin ko...bring it here when I get back...magkano kaya padala sa FEDex?

hehehe swerte na nga nating pinoy sa wharfe D9.x pricing ayaw pa?! (kase made in china? Quad, sister company ng wharfe sa iag ay china-made din and priced much higher pero patok pa rin sa ibang bansa)
pound for pound bang for the buck best buys 9.1 9.5 9.6
the key is partner it with the right amp (ex: amply powerd ss w/ 9.6 or biamped config -ss sa bass and pp/el34 sa mids & highs. ) and -patience- wait for the diamonds to be broken-in and the juice will flow freely

I think the distributor controls the pricing so no worries.... as long as the distributor didn't get the idea then were fine.

The SRP is declared by the distributor. The reason why our local prices are low is bec. the mark up of retailers is also veeery low. Intsik (or Tsinoy) siguro distributor. Pasalamat tayo sa mga Intsik

Gud day Atty., here are the prices, almost all shops carry the same price

9.5 12500
9.6 17500
9cs 4500
9cm 6300

Im not familiar with your current amp, I'm using HK335 to power my 9.6, and im very much satisfied

. Here is the link to my simple setup - http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=55942.0

thanks pare.

silhouette · « **Reply #2182 on:** Nov 09, 2006 at 02:55 PM »

gurus,

just an inquiry. do you think the 9.5 can still perform if paired with denon 1802?
i just don't want to give up on this avr since it can still serve its purpose.
it was previously paired with mission m73 and m74 (latest), rear m71i & m7c2 ctr. now, only the m71 is enjoying the avr (medyo malungkot)
in brief, denon's power rating at 5 amp channel is at 80w (8 ohm,20-20k hz) and/or 115w (6 ohm,1khz)
i'm also planning on adding a power amp to support the avr, but not sure what are my options. as to what power should match the avr and so on.

hope to get valuable inputs from the experts or even the not so expert and starters like me.

cheers!

Hi Silhouette,

It will perform of course. If it was able to drive your M74, it will drive the 9.5 sufficiently. Truth is, almost any receiver can drive any speaker to "perform". The only question is if the speakers are performing its 25% or its 95% of its true capablity.

But if you are looking for the "next step" or "maximize" your speakers in HT or music, try getting good power amps, and you will hear the difference. Power amps have their own power supply and wont be taxed as hard (mas effortless) on demanding HT & music sequences, as compared to a receiver powering 5-7 speakers & a processor from one power supply. Your mids & HF will come alive (since LF is handled by the sub anyway) & so many details that you never heard before will now be audible.

So it all depends on whether you are looking for a "sufficient" or a better, "maximized" HT & music experience from your speakers .

Thank you MAtZTER!

I agree, that I will only get maybe up to 70% of the speaker's performance using the said avr if I will push with the 9.5 (which I'm inclinded to get).
You hit the point when you said 'I'm looking for the next step'...hehe..at least the system should be ready for the next round (if and when moolah is overflowing).
Anyway, having said that I'm decided on the 9.5 (present speaker budget), what additional power amp is recommended to help the present avr? Well just to match the simple and humble set up I currently have, and so I could 'maximize' the gears.

Thanks again sir!

MAtZTER · « **Reply #2185 on:** Nov 10, 2006 at 11:06 AM »

You dont need overflowing moolah to get a power amp. I could recall there were many in the B/S section at lower than 10k before. I was once selling a 130w THX stereo amp for only 7k and no one was interested. The amp was even heavier than entry level 7 channel AVR's boasting 100w. So I sold it to my bayaw and he was so astounded by the difference from a receiver (using a Monitor Audio S6 floorstander).

Check if your AVR has pre outs (click & read reply#33) and go for 100w+ stereo amps. Even a conservatively rated 80w NAD power amp will make a significant difference. But I read in a buyer's guide that (true) 100w is recommended for floorstanders.

You can bet that these stereo amps will give you TRUE 100w compared to receivers rating their power at 100w but is actually rated at 2 channels & divided to 5 - 7 channels on HT applications. These receivers can dip down to 30w or lower in these cases

. Imagine how your FS will sound w/ 100w of undivided, effortless power

(power amp has its own power supply). It will give your HT that "UMPH!"

Thanks again sir MAtZTER for the tip! I'll consider your suggestion.
Now hunting season is officially OPEN. hehe.

Good Morning mga sir! Newbie lang po ako dito sa PinoyDVD.

Totally beginner po ako in this field of hobby kaya i need po sana some suggestions and recommendations from you guys! Im planning to build an HT setup using Wharfedale speakers po sana, nakita ko po yesterday yung Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series ganda pala talaga ng sounds nun! Ano po ba ma rerecommend nyo sakin speakers if im in a tight budget lang po for starting an HT Setup?

Balak ko po sana kasi kunin yung Wharfedale Diamond 9 Series na Front speakers for P5.5K na nakita ko and naka promo yung Wharfedale WH-2 Series Front and Sorround speaker for P4K and US Audio Sub for P5.7K. Tanong ko lang po kung OK na po tong setup na toh for the meantime?

Many thank mga sir!

Your comments, suggestions and recommendations will be very much appreciated!

Good day. Guys who else sells the Diamonds outside of Spectra which doesn't have a complete set of the color I prefer (cherry). Thanks.
