really short answer:
dm9.5 = movies
dm9.6 = music

it doesn't follow though that one isn't good for the other. just that say, for music listening, i like how 9.6 renders the mid-range especially the vocal portion... but i like how the 9.5 handles the slam in movies. both are capable of delivering great bass, though they may deliver it differently. the 9.5 is fast, the 9.6 rolls. the 9.5 had been more popular though because of its great value.

the 9.6 has bigger drivers so it can hit lower frequencies than the 9.5. thus, for music it'll be better to get the 9.6. but for home theater use where you'll be using a sub, the 9.5 is more than enough since you'll be using a sub anyway.

hi any comments between the difference of 9.1 and 9.2?

[blackie]

Have the 9.1's.  Great for Music And Movies.  Can't really comment on the 9.2's just heard that they are a bit "boomier" since they have bigger enclosures

Cheers

thanks for the reply sir avshop, blackie and gearhead. appreciate it very much. Im still new to home theater and home audio stuff. kanina nag libot libot ako sa shang and went inside sa lahat ng audio shop na andun. I was able to audition a lot of speakers including the 9.5.

In my opinion, 9.1 is Wharfedale's best speaker in the Diamond range, better than its floor standers.  It received lots of positive reviews and awards.

hi guys,

id just like to get your inputs regarding wall mounting wharfdale series 9.

im planning to get the following

Front: 2 x Diamond 9.1
Rear: 2 x Diamond 9.SR
Center: 1 x Diamond 9.CS

maliit lang kasi ung living room ko and i cant use floor standers, my living room is going to be too cramped up.

i'd just like to get your inputs regarding this.

THanks

most here won't advise wall mounting your fronts. for the others, you can try audioworks tripod stand or wall mounts from 5th avenue, or perfect view wall mounts from ace/truvalue/etc.

+1 on Gearhead's comments

If you are cramped on space,

Why not look for a base that eats up the most minimal floor area?

Look at some of the setups of members here and see that more often than not if they aren't HTIB's, Bookshelfs (as you plan for your fronts) are usually set up more sturdily.

Hi again Bayen,

Here are some samples of 9.1's in action (Got them off the internet).  If you notice, all of them were used as fronts and were put on speaker stands, if not placed "solidly" on the cabinet.  Hope this helps.

di ba 6 ohms mga wharf.., where  do you plug them ? 8ohm tap or 4 ohms of your amp?

[gearhead000]

8-ohms... 4 ohms just means they're doing some current limiting to the amp output, or some additional output protection. just make sure your amp can handle it. otherwise, don't crank it too much or do some additional thermal control.

ayun! sorry medyo slow ako ngayon sa trigger... sleepy pa hahaha! 

Yeheah!

Wharfs are not for everybody... honestly, I just liked their tonal character (suited for my hearing tastes). we did BS and FS shootouts before I got into Wharfs hehehe... swerte na lang at mura pala mga ito compared to other brands...

[blackie]

Could not agree more JojoD818,

Some of my earliest experiences in Home Theater included Wharfedale, Infinity and Mordaunt Short.  The Wharfedales have sort of grown on me through time, so I am particularly biased towards them.  They more than meet my needs.  Contemplating on getting the CM though, it is my only speaker that is not Wharfedale in my 5. setup.

Cheers!

i like the 9cm more than the 9cs. if you have the space for it, go for it. i have the 9cm in stock if you want one. i'll give you a good deal.
