You're not the only one pre, hehe for me ok ang sounds ng 9 series but only just like that, oks lang... nothing so special... i still prefer the Crystal Series (especially Crystal 40), despite of its low sensitivity (86db), these series are better than the 9 series in terms of clarity and Musicality, especially if you'll feed these speakers with enough power, kailangan lang talaga for these set of speakers ok ang power na ibibigay mo for them to show their full potential, that's why i'm still thinking if i'm going to replace it with the 9 series... and for the 9.1 naman, i love its sounds, i've heard it many times na rin but i still prefer my Onkyo Liverpool D200II over the 9.1 (specification wise better din ang liverpool for a bookshelf speaker, 38hz-45Khz, 89db, 6ohms, 150watts max) that's why hindi ko rin maibenta 'to kahit vintage na Well, that's just my own opinion mga sirs
bad timing yata pag-post ko ng acquisition ko ng wharfes ah...mga dis-satisfied owners ang sumunod sa post ko. :'( :'(
Wow, congrats. I just bought Wharfedale 9.5, 9CM and 9DFS. Sounds good enough for me. Average lang sya actually. I find Paradigm monitor speakers better but the price is way too high so I just settled for Wharfedale as my first home theater speakers. Besides, I can use the savings to buy a 50" plasma. At its price point, Wharfedale is good enough.
Hey guys....congrats to all Wharf owners Be patient as this babies also require a looooong break-in period.
I agree, theyre good enough but not better. Actually,I have issues the first time set them using audyssey. My onkyo 605 set the x-over setting at (9.5, 9cs, 9.1) full band w/ subwoofer double bass on at -12db, the sound is muddy at talagang pangit!!! I was able to tame it down when I manually tweak the x-over settings to 80hz but my problem now is the subs, I can hardly hear the boom. Dissatisfied that i also manually adjusted the volume of subs at -6db to compensate the double bass that was turned off when i adjusted the fronts at 80hz. Result was good but not great, sabi ko lang "AWESOME" because i'm fighting my SARS attack!!!
When you say long break-in period... how long is "loooong"? What subwoofer are you using? SW150 ba?
US Audio. They're supposed to be boomy.
All a matter of personal prefernce if you ask me There will always be newer, more high tech choices, etc. out there. Going on my second year with the wharfies and i'm very happy with them When you are alone, or with your firends, you have your favorite ice cold soda soda and buttered popcorn, dim the lights, turn on the A/C, Kick off your shoes, and pop in that favorite DVD of yours, It's only yourself you'll have to satisfy
There you Go!!!Way to go Wharfedale!!!!!

no unnescessary 'worst speaker' comment needed.............
Hey guys....congrats to all Wharf owners Be patient as this babies also require a looooong break-in period. That means that while you are contented with what you hear when its new, it will still improve over time. I have use the 9.5 for my stereo and am still retaining it. Providing the Wharf with more power will make it sing more.For the Wharf owners who have made tweaks please post your experience.....good and bad so we can learn and improve.Wharfs are best bank for the buck.Warm regards to all Wharfies

what matters most is that you are satisfied with what you have. what's good for one may not be good for me and what sucks for a few sounds extremely good for us.
Nice to hear you still have the 9.5s. I changed the internal wires of my EVO 8 to Audience. The sound was cleaner and it seems the speakers got a little bit more life. Very noticable was the extension and crisp sound of the HF. Just what I was looking for. Very good results specially for HT use. I used to have 9.1, 9.2, CS and 9.5. I wasn't into tweaking back then. But if I still had them, I'd defenitely change the wires and caps. The wires used were like the ones you could see at raon. Not that they are bad, but I guess due to age, they get corroded. As per experience, there is a great deal of improvement when I changed the wires. Jason
once you go down deep into this hobby
Been there and back for so many times bro...May naligaw pa na EVO series...The type of firepower that was used...
Been there and back for so many times bro...May naligaw pa na EVO series... Kilala ko yan EVO na yan. Palagi naka downy yun pambalot na kumot dyan.
ganda ganda ng Wharefedale EVO mo sir Jojo !!!pm mo lang ako pag gusto mo na pa-ampon yan!
Yan ba yung floorstander shoot-out dati?Ano na nga ba ang resulta doon? Panalo yata ang Diamond 9.6?
Kaya nagtataka ako, it's the first time I've seen negative comments on this thread.Hindi naman troller si sir ctlim. Hindi lang niya nagustuhan, mukhang honest opinion naman.Baka hindi bagay sa amp niya? I use a Yamaha receiver, and the sound is very good. Anong mga amps and receivers ang hindi bagay sa Wharfe?
Hi Nogie,What sort of tweak was done on the x-over? Thanks and regards,JoeyGS
Just the setting in the receiver from full band to 80hz after running Audyssey 2EQ. Tahimik muna ako, he he... I might get lambasted in this thread.
