go for the wharfe 9.5 . no need for speaker stands pa.
Pareng oweidah, just sharing my experiences ha
. But I used to have exactly the same belief, "FS para walang speaker stands na".
But I forgot to put the receiver into the equation. FS are harder to drive (need more power) than bookshelves, so make sure you get a good receiver (more powerful) to get the most out of your speakers. Good system matching is the key to a good HT.
The additional cost of a better receiver can cost much more than the cost of speaker stands. For a purely HT use, bookshelf speakers + good subs are enough.
One thing I learned in this hobby , its not "The bigger the speakers, the better", but its "The higher the receiver, the better".
sir matz , pwede malaman anong models na-compare mo wharfe diamond 9.x at wharfe evo1 x0? day and nite ba ang diffrens?
medyo malayo yata pricing difference ng 9.1= 5.5k / evo1 10 = 15k? tnx
I auditioned it w/ a Wharfe Evo bookshelf too. Night & day difference? maybe not. But for me, the sonic improvement of Mid level speakers compared to entry level is definitely worth it.
Pag nagsawa ka na sa entry level speakers mo, its redundant to move sideways and get another brand's entry level speaker. Go upward for the Mid levels! The refinement & clarity is just amazing. Yun nga lang, dagdag gastos din sa matching electronics (receivers, amps, etc.)
