wharfedale clan,

would like to ask which is more musical, the 9.5 or the 9.6?
currently, i have 9.5, cm and dfs and since il be buying the bada 5 or 2 ch poweramp soon,
does replacing my 9.5 with 9.6 a good upgrade? 60% HT/40% AUDIO intended usage of the setup.
BTW, HK 335 is my reciever and i dont have a sub yet.

TIA

depends on the room size and power of your amp. for me a well fed 9.5 would sing a lot better than a malnourished 9.6 so if your amp can give the power then why not.

hahaha! clear ko lang bro, what I meant by malnourished is you need power and a fairly large room to get the most out of it.

got also 9.5/9cm and the small 9sr (soon to upgrade), bada 5ch amp on yammy 659. i tried to listen to those bass cd (pang car audio) to my ht setup @ stereo mode (no sub) and wow! alog din bahay ko sa lakas bumayo ng 9.5! you can really hear/see your speaker cones sing and dance! Yun nga busog kasi sa power yung speakers... no need to upgrade your 9.5 bro good yan!! buy kana lang ng sub for ht..

elem · « **Reply #2804 on:** Jun 09, 2008 at 01:09 AM »

thnx for the replies,

perhaps il just buy the bada 5 channel amp for now and see/hear what happens with my setup.
well i just thought that an upgrade from 9.5 to 9.6 is worth taking and i assumed the bada amp could make the 9.6 perform just like what ive read from other threads.

speaking from my experience, medyo bitin ako sa HK335 driving the 9.5 thats why i prioritize the outboard amp over the sub.

sir toslink, naka bi-amp ung 9.5 and 9cm mo ngayon?

i have a decade old mid-level yamaha receiver. RX-V795 to be exact. my HT setup has taken a backseat since i moved to a new house. dami gamit dapat bilhin sa bahay eh before upgrading the gears. it's just now that i'm slowly getting back to this hobby that i'm planning to upgrade my gears and i'm eyeing the speakers first. kumbaga dun muna sa mas affordable na upgrade.

can my 85w per channel amp drive the 9.5 or 9.1? i'm thinking of getting the 9.1 over the weekend and will temporarily use it for my front to see the improvement then later on get the 9.5 and move the 9.1 to the surround. will this work? what can i expect from the wharfes with my old receiver? is it the age of the receiver that should matter or should it be the power/capability? btw, my current setup is an all Yamaha speakers (NS-55) package if i'm not mistaken and a 200W+ yamaha active sub.

JojoD818 · « **Reply #2810 on:** Jun 18, 2008 at 01:47 PM »

This will totally depend on the headroom you are looking for. I have tried the 9.1 and 9.5 with so many amps na, my general conclusion is a 50W solid state amp and up is already sufficient for decent spl out of these babies. Even tried it with 8W class D amps and a 2A3 SET amp and it's ok as long as you keep the volume down below clipping level.

Though not as great as their high sensitivity counterparts (high sensitivity speakers means more Pesos too), Wharf speakers only needs just enough juice to make you happy. I think your Yammy will do just fine.

Cheers

I'm planning to buy wharfe 9.1 and paired it with an ss amp (onkyo integra 817ex, a 105wpc amp) for my audio setup. Ok ba match-up na to? Salamat!
