to wharfs and yamaha gurus:

i'm new to this hobby so bear with me. What specific Yamaha and Wharfedale speakers that would fit on my 25-30k budget. my room is small so i think 2.1 setup will do. pls indicate the model and the price of each receivers and speakers. TNX GURUS!

[ericag_ph]

Yamaha RXV-361  - 5.1 receiver - P13800
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 - P5500  (I use the Wharf 8.1 with the Yam 361)
The rest, for your sub.
But, I suggest trying those out first before getting a sub.

They used to have cherry and beech. But rosewood is the best. IMO.

Wharfedale complement well with Yamaha. However, the 9.2 though bigger, is not a popular choice in the Diamond series. For a bookshelf, I suggest you get the 9.1 which can deliver pleasing music and movie sound. The 9.1 2 way speaker has a good timbre balance mid and bass driver that deliver just the right sound: forward, immediate, incisive, and vivid sound for movie yet it also delivers rich, warm, full, and punchy music. The 9.2 has a bit aggressive bass that somehow squash or crush the high and mid sounds. In effect, it delivers boomy bass. The overall sounds a bit muddy and blurred.

The Polk Audio PSW110 is a good choice for the Yamaha-Wharfedale tandem.

Sirs, what surround speakers would you recommend for a 3m x 4m room, wharfedale diamond 9dfs or 9sr? thanks.

For surround, dipole speakers like Wharfedale Diamond 9DFS has better advantage than the front firing bookshelf speakers: it take produces a wider soundfield and also provide greater speaker placement flexibility. If you have side walls-left and right-to hang 9DFS speakers, you can at least push back your couch to the rear back wall. This allows you to enjoy spectacular wide ambience sounds even on a small room.

Since 9DFS is a dipole, its appearance is simply a buffle covered with black grille cloth. So, there's really no wooden cabinet to highlight the color.

gurus,

i am on a wharfedale atlantics (quite old) onkyo 604 combi, the sounds ok, a bit warm but oks na, i'm more of a ht than music person anyway, but i am thinking of upgrading to a diamond 9 set-up, but am now contemplating if this is the way to go since the release of the mission mv series, the price of diamond wharfes and these missions are practically the same. i haven't audition the mvs, i have heard how the diamonds sound. my question since sabi nila onkyo+mission better than whafes + onkyo. which do you guys think will be better? (parang mas maliit ang sizes ng mv missions kasi)

In my experience, I like the Wharfes partnered with Yamaha. Denons and Wharfs are ok too. If you're more into HT, I suggest you look for a more aggressive speaker if to be paired with your onkyo.

Then again, there's always the tone control option. Hehe.

Good luck!

thanks, so without going into the models, do you think missions are more aggressive than wharfes?

Based on the previous models i've heard, yes.

thanks sir jason.

Just check if missions have good aftersales service now. Wharfes have excellent aftersales service. Not that you'll need it. Just to make sure. You might get the lemon out of a thousand? Who knows...

ok thanks. but based on the mission thread, they change distributors and dealers already, so s&s is one of their dealers too. so same na ang dealer ng wahrfes and mission (in s&s's case).

That's good to hear. Good luck in your hunt.

9.1 can matched well with any Pioneer receiver, especially with the VSXD710 which can deliver more power to create better dynamic sound to 9.1.

sir e-reply, how much is the diamond 9dfs?

We sell 9DFS at P4500.
