Newbie here ... Help po mga gurus: Will there be an improvement in the performance of Daimaond 9.1 if I transfer this from being wallmounted to speaker stands? & what stand is best for this speaker?

Thanks in advance...

You'll definitely see an improvement when you place your 9.1 in a speakers stand and position it around 1ft. (minimum) away from the front wall and about 6-8ft. apart from each speaker. Positioning speakers depends on your listening position, size and shape of your room and other various factors like furnitures in the room, tv placement, etc.
Most notable improvement will be the imaging and soundstaging and also a more balance frequency output from your speakers.
There are various related articles in the internet that will help you a lot on this matter.

suggestion lang po baguhin mo placement ng center mo

dyzophoria · « **Reply #2617 on:** Jan 19, 2008 at 10:51 PM »

thanks guys!, even without being run in, this speakers really rock

, ganda ng clarity and resolution nung Best of Voices Audiophile Cds, even without my sub, kayang kaya magbigay ng deep bass nung 9.6

@dj

Ok bro i'll try that, I was having second thoughts din about the placement, tinatamad ako nung una adjust yung wall mount nung tv,lolz, pero mukhang tama ka nag na kailangan ko lapit pa,hehe

gunblade977 · « **Reply #2622 on:** Jan 21, 2008 at 04:25 PM »

Thanks blackie, hope to get the funds this feb. By that time, sana mabili ko na rin ang HT setup ko.

Most people here in Wharfe thread prefer cm for the center. Sa surrounds okay ang DFS.

blackie · « **Reply #2627 on:** Jan 29, 2008 at 08:06 AM »

I think the CM would be great too. Try and consider also the front and surround speakers you are going to use and see if the overall package meets/matches and satifies your taste

Depends on the fronts, for wharfe 9.5/9.1/9.3 I prefer to match with 9cs and dfs, for 9.6 better to match with 9cm and dfs.

bhengko · « **Reply #2629 on:** Jan 29, 2008 at 03:38 PM »

will this be a good combination?

front: 9.1
center: cs
surr: dfs

thanks

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #2630 on:** Jan 29, 2008 at 05:09 PM »

sounding good already! do you plan to get a subwoofer? what amp will be driving these babies?

magkano na ba ang denon 1907 ngayon?

You can ask some of the av stores here in the forum about the price of 1907 but I think it's around 16k. I got mine last year from SGT (The Home Theater) but at a higher price kasi hindi pa naka-sale.

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #2634 on:** Jan 29, 2008 at 08:19 PM »

It's running for 16.5K cash ngayon. Mas mataas pag card.
Feedback ng mga gurus dito it's a good AVR for starters.
Meron din Pre-out para sa future upgrades.
Ok din daw ito pang drive ng mga Wharf speakers

newbie here,

i was wondering if wharfdale diamond 9 series speakers would perform well on mid level receivers such as the onkyo 605/705 or denon 2308/2808? may nabasa kasi ako sa ibang threads na whrfdales speakers are for entry level receivers daw?

Huddaf · « **Reply #2637 on:** Feb 11, 2008 at 05:16 AM »

Daming me sakit ngayon ah! Bagong taon puro bagong gears! hehehehe

SARS Attack! baka me nagbebenta dyan ng bookshelf ha hehehehe PM na lang!

Astig mga Wharfe combination nyo, wala akong masabi break in na lang at i'm sure solb na solb na kayo dyan. Pag nagsawa na PM nyo ako ha. hahahaha Congrats Squatt and dyzophoria. Worried lang ako kasi andami ko ng nakikitang Wharfe na made in China. I dunno if it should be a concern but my old wharfes are made from England and I am very satisfied with it. I recently checked a Diamond 9.1 sa Ambassador G'hills about 3 weeks ago, they are giving it to me for 5.3k pero parang naliliitan ako and when i checked the back labels it says "Made in China", not that i have anything against that but i had to wait muna sa temp B&S baka me magbenta ng decent bookshelf. Konting tiis muna!

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #2638 on:** Feb 11, 2008 at 08:01 AM »

Madami na talaga iems made from China. Pero it doesn't necessarily mean these are lemon items.
Not only in the HT speaker industry but in a lot of other industries as well (even Nike is China made).
Kasi mura talaga labor sa kanila. Ang pilosopiya ko diyan is "I don't think a company like Wharfedale/Nike etc will sacrifice it's rep to save a couple of (hundred?) bucks per item." There will always be a high quality standard that they wil hold these sub-contractors to.

squatt3r · « **Reply #2639 on:** Feb 11, 2008 at 09:28 AM »

at Huddaf, pag natuloy byahe ko overseas dispose ko yung wharfe pag nakahanap ako ng good deals doon.

di na ako sana pag di maganda ang sounds kaya kahit simpleng cable/TV broadcast lang pinapanood namin, gamit pa din yung mga wharfes
