Topic: Recommend a Speaker

[E-reply]

final decision has been made.

its MS avant series na

i dropped by 5th avenue kanina and pag uwi ko i made the final decision na. will buy the speakers more or less mid august to early september.

thanks sa lahat ng nag post and nag offer ng mga various information and feedbacks!

I wonder how MS avant series will sound with Yamaha. Better listen the speaker with your existing Yamaha. What MS avant series may sounds good with Marantz may probably not sound right to Yamaha.

@ E-reply
yup yup ill do that. thanks!

[Ctlim]

actually MS sounds better with Yamaha than Marantz... again this is model dependent. 

make sure to get at least two models above entry level.

[ivannn]

hmmm is the yamaha rxv450 (the receiver that i currently have) considered as an entry level receiver?

[Ctlim]

i believe the models that start with 3 and 4 are entry level. i personally would buy the models that start with 6 above... given that the MS is still the better choice as the wharfs are harder to drive.

[ivannn]

i see... darating din ako sa point na need mag upgrade ng avr

I agree. If you're sticking with your AVR, look for speakers that are easier to drive.

MS. Was never impressed with the other two. Goodluck!

[ivannn]

thank you sa mga info mukhang solb solb me pag nakuha ko na yun

[vtec3]

well dami mo na inputs  ok yan MS you might want to PM another member KT naka MS yun and ask him feedback. Ok yan si KT 

[james16]

thank you sa mga info mukhang solb solb me pag nakuha ko na yun

you may also PM may very good friend and kumpare na si nels76, been using MS speakers eversince we join pdvd, 2002 pa sya naka-MS...

pero proper matching lang ang importante at actually yung acoustics or mismong kwarto mo, may impact din.

sakin ok naman yung tatlong yan... kaw lang makakapagsabi kung sa ka masaya gud luck 

[kt]

hi von musta! hehe eto na mag recommend narin po

hi ivann! i actually chose between the wharfes n MS din. own preference kasi when it comes with the final choice. better give a longer audition for both speakers n put in mind the characteristic also depends on the avr you'll use. as for the general characteristic ng wharfes n MS nandun na talaga sa kanila yun. for me i find the MS on the brighter side while the Wharfes on the more laid back against the MS. i liked the MS904 and it suits my listening preference thats why i chose it. either way naman you cant go wrong with those 2 brands bro

[vtec3]

Ivannn ayan nag comment na si kt  kung hindi ok yang MS i would think matagal na nag upgrade ng gears yan si bro Karl 

[kt]

von musta hehe di ko parin kaya ang missions mo eh haha
yup ok naman yung MS till now sulit parin sakin

[ivannn]

hi guys

thats great! thanks sa inputs. newbie kasi ako na mag uupgrade from the htib na i have. para lalo pang ma enjoy ang mga movies at music. parang sa car rin, nag umpisa sa mababa ang power tapos u desire for more pa.

@kt
sir does it perform good with movies?

[kt]

^ivann yup it does well on movies as well as audio. im using the MS904 floorstanders sya. plus get a good sub dun ka din mag invest

[ivannn]

@kt

yup nauna na ang upgrade ko ng sub. bought a MS 409 genie sub. so far okay naman siya and naadjust ko na rin settings niya according sa preference ko. thanks thanks! pero for sure magkakaiba tayo sa receiver kasi i think mine is only an entry level yamaha.

[kt]

^bro mine is also ang entry level marantz hehe

[ivannn]

hehe! oks! thanks thanks!

[vtec3]

@ivannn - eventually i think you will also upgrade your receiver (SARS  ), in which case suggest you get a receiver with pre-outs. For me MS Avant sounds decent in both HT and Music but again kanya kanya preference kasi   

bro kt have you installed a power amp for your Marantz + MS combo?

[ivannn]

@vtec3

oo nga eh. eventually darating tayo dyan. pero shempre progress building muna tayo

[kt]

von di pa ko nag power amp eh hehe napunta naman sa ibang hobby ang gastos ko kaya nahinto sa SARS

[lakambini]

gentlemen,

what is the best stereo speaker for an onkyo 606?

[macdon]

von di pa ko nag power amp eh hehe napunta naman sa ibang hobby ang gastos ko kaya nahinto sa SARS

Aba brader - ikaw ba eto? Kumusta na ibang hobby? Naks - sports minded tayo ngayon ah

Eto si KT ang nagdemonyo sa akin pumasok dito sa Hobby naten......kaya makinig kayo jan! ahihihihi

[kt]

^haha mards musta! hehe naadik naman sa isang sport.
kakaiba ka naman magka SARS full blown na all out hehe
pero ang impt is masaya ka kaya sulit pag ganun dba bro?

[macdon]

pero ang impt is masaya ka kaya sulit pag ganun dba bro?

Yes sir - tumpak ka jan!

[ivannn]

at the end of the day, basta masaya sa hobby natin eh okay lang

[karce]

audition audition. marami naman yata mga speakers ngayon na sa same price range ng jamo, MS at wharf...  PSB, Aurum Cantus, Mission (pero mas mahal na yata)

[macdon]

It really helps to have an open mind in this hobby - you really shouldnt deprive yourself of the many speakers brands available today for audition......wether on a tight budget or even without a budget

Do give yourself a treat by also listening to non-mainstream brands - you might just find something that would tickle your ears in an unknown brand.
Seriously consider preowned speakers as well - as it gives the greatest value, IMHO. No need to break-in pa

Who knows, there might be something for you hidden in the corner of an AV shop - just waiting for some TLC from a new owner ........or in my case, the basement/warehouse of my favorite AV shop!

[ivannn]

yup yup. and when i do audition i make sure to bring my own cds and a few dvds.
