Topic: speakers for surrounds

[ricky]

bro check out WHARFEDALE brand,medyo reasonable price nya and ok na for surrounds but im not sure kung may ceiling mounted sila na speakers,yung walang baffles?

[Philander]

If you need to install in the cieling, daichi

pag sa wall, wharfs WH-2 surrounds

[av_phile1]

If your primary criteria is speakers that are physically invisible, you could drill holes on the ceiling or walls and mount individual drivers on them. That's going the DIY route.

Otherwise, you might be happy with satellite speakers from Mordaunt SHort, Boston Accoustics, Definitive and Klipsch Promedia.  The satellites are about the same size as a Bose Accoustimas but better sounding and at lower prices.  You may want to google search on these or check out Spectra for the Klipsch Pormedia and 5th ave for the Mordaunt, both at Makati Park Square.

thanks guya for the suggestions. maybe i'll just check those satellite speakers. i don't think it will sound good if i mount in on the ceiling without baffles. which satellite speakers are the best with a very reasonable price?

thanks!

hi sirs:

i already have a 5.1 set up consisting of wh 9.5, wh cm and wh 9.1 for surrounds. i need speakers for my surround back.  will you please recommend other brands aside from wh dfs that could match my existing set up.

sir, why not use your 9.1 as your surround back and get the dfs as your surround L/R for timber matching. just my 2cent.

[MAtZTER]

surround back channels rarely sound off unless you use them a lot via Dobly prologic IIx. So just wait for any pre owned  wharfe BS on sale and it will be good enough.

Actually its just me but surrounds are not very critical so any decent brand will do.

looks nice, how much ba to locally

[dannielsimone]

well......firstly the ADP 370 are about 38,000 a pair...but this is for a big room with a pretty powerful Amp/speaker.


The smaller version is the ADP 170 which is about 27,000 peso.

Check out the link and see the recommended 5.1 - 7.1 systems.

I am looking at the phantom with the ADP 170 surround

and the more expensive upgrade.  I am interested in the monitor 7 with the ADP 370 surround

Have Fun

By the way...I am scheduling a demo verry soon with both of these surrounds at Edsa shanrila.  if you have an interest when and where  let me know.

[MAtZTER]

Actually its just me but surrounds are not very critical so any decent brand will do.

My friend has an expensive Dynaudio setup, but he uses Daiichi ceiling mounted speakers for surrounds (he wants the surrounds discreet). I heard the setup several times. I cant complain. Sounds ok naman.

My bro-in law uses Sonus Faber Grand Piano and Krell amp, and uses Parasound ceiling speakers for surrounds. Havent heard it yet though.

[synchro_01]

go for floorstanders if you can...you will never go back to small surrounds
