Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie here. I hope you guys out there can help me decide. I am looking at the Diamond 9.4 and 9.5. and I am going to pair it with my Marantz SR3001. I will be using it 50/50 movie/music. My room area is 20 sq. mt. What should i get?

Also, Is it true that a Diamond 9.4, which is a 2 way speaker will be more music and a 9.5, a 3 way will be better for Home Theater?

Hoping for your guidance.

I am using 9.4 and I'm very much happy with this baby. Good for ht and music.

Driving it with HK AVR146. its not yet available here. My aunt bought it in the US. I think its just an HK entry level  5channel 40wpc  and its around my budget. its just cost me $250 free shipping pa. I'm now a proud owner of diamond 9.1. bang for the bucks nga talaga. the performance is away to far compare to my bose am7. now, I put my bose am7 as my surround, 9.1 for front, dtx 15" sub and center bose cube din since wla pang budget sa 9cs eh.I have a limited space 12sqm at bedroom setup lang.tnx...

One question lang can i connect my bose cubes directly to my receiver as surrounds and center at hindi na dadaan ng bass module?hindi b masisira ung cubes? tnx

I'm afraid it will not sound as intended by Bose. Bass module has the crossover network for the small 1ohm cone.

I read some reviews at audio review. com about diamond 9.1. I noticed that 9.1s are priced between $200 -$350. Pero dito sa tin p5500. Sa tingin po ninyo bakit mas mura sa tin

Yes! mas mura sa atin.. saw it advertised in hifi mags at $350.00 pair..

[bumblebee]

I don't know why the distributors price it that way. But this practive is not uncommon. IIRC, in Singapore, Mordaunt Shorts' that are priced lower.

Hi,

I got myself a pair Diamond 9.5 and 9CS. and thinking of getting a WH-2 for rear with Marantz SR3001 70 WPC. Ok na ba ito for a 20 sq. mt. room?

and what do you think of US Audio 10" vs DTX 10"? saan mas maganda for my set up?

Please advise. Thanks

[bulak_henyo]

got my 9.1 from S&S two weeks ago. ganda ang tunog using denon 1907. pero ng kinabit ko sya sa power amp, grabe! parang malaking speaker!!  this baby really can sing!

Ayos yan bro. Oks na oks yang napili nyo. Am also using 9.5s and 9CS.
Welcome to the "wharfedale family". hehehe. Why not try 9DFS para kumpleto na 9 series ninyo? heheheh.

With respect to the subs, audition nyo muna para malaman ninyo kung alin ang "type" ninyong tunog. As for me, I auditioned the US Audio subs years back (512), pero mas na-tipuhan ko ang tunog ng DTX.

[bulak_henyo]

im using Cloud 6 channel power amp. 5 speakers lang ang naka-connect. laki ng difference sa 1907 alone. very noticeable!

Hi Wharf adopters,

I'm new to this whole HT scene, and this will be my 1st real 5.1 DTS/DD setup with an receiver. I have done setups in the past with PC speakers which lacked kick and was not able to appreciate the real enveloping sound as the my researching had taught me. I would like to make my setup as entertaining as possible and want to get the best sound experience that my budget can offer (which is verly limited :'()

I have a el cheapo teac DTS/DD 5.1 100 wpc receiver and Im interested to get the 9.0s as fronts and rears for my 12sqm bedroom for Music/Movies/Gaming through my PS3 and Xbox. I really have limited space as why im considering these.

I would get the 9.1 with a drop of a hat but I really dont have space for the fronts and I wouldn't want to sacrifice proper placement for just getting more power. The 9.0 can sit on my desk and be at ear level underneath my wall mounted TV along with my center speaker. But a few inches bigger with the 9.1 I will be forced to put up on the Wall on beside the TV which about 3-4 higher than ear level while sitting down and forcing me to install my rears even further higher. Please, please, comment on my setup.

Would I be better off getting a properly placed 9.0 vs a 9.1 mounted on the wall (which is further up and away from ear level?) Would it also be a good pair up with a DTX sub? and a wh2 center?

I am considering to audition the custom made subwoofers of Nerveblocker vs the DTX and US Audio. I heard so many good things about them kasi. Please comment. Thanks

sir you cant buy the wharf 9.0 seperately, kasama lang sha sa package ng wharf hcp (5.1 system w/subs) i too was on the lookout for these pero i think the 9.1 is better and hindi naman kalaki diff nila in terms of size. Performance wise ok naman feedback sa 9.1 so i guess you'd be better of going with the 9.1

[capman789]

oohh salamat sir defjam. Thanks for clearing that out.

9.1 it is.

[aepaguinaldo]

Hello,

Just wanted to ask if anyone has experience pairing the 9.1's with the NAD 315BEE, 325BEE or Cambridge Audio 340A.  I'm looking at having a stereo set-up with the following amps. I'll be auditioning, but your experience will be helpful.

I listen to Jazz and Rock music..

Thanks in advance.

[kid]

had a nad amp before... it sounds well with wharf 8.3, i think it will match with the 9.1.

pruod owner of 9.1 paired with JD labs
