i like the 10.5.

At the price, I love the 10.5    Everyone order yours from avshop, Im still torn between that and my Pi10's hahaha

[oweidah]

I used a NAD304 with upgraded powercord and Pre- to poweramp jumpers, was very warm but the vocals were  forward enough; female vocals a bit too much on the lush and rich side, the few male vocals we had at the time didn't sound too rich to be nasal or too unnatural (normally you'd expect they generally would be given the female vocals). The warmth of the overall sound made it seem kinda veiled, but if you don't sit too far back, the detail and extensions on the highs are there despite the warm overall tone. Thing with the 10.5 is thanks to the use of a bigger midrange it beats the 9.6 on staging imaging issues. You get sufficient midrange through the dedicated driver without the need to sit too far back. The 9.5 beats the 9.6 on that regard but tended to have vocals that were too shy despite not being warm. Meaning from the few times I heard it the volume is a bit too even and the vocalist seems to be sitting with her/his back resting on the drums. Vocals in non-audiophile standard recordings get lost in the mix.

the review struck me because it used naim amp/pre. naims' got a reputation of being the hi-end counterpart of rotel - fast detailed and have good driving capability. yet the reviewer described the 10.5 to be a "little too warm, rich and laid back..." nads' are known to be on the warm-side.

same here bro! im still love my pi's too hard to let go 

[ninjababez®]

mukang same nga 

these babies are huge but fits well with sabre racks. just add the rubber stopper and no more vibrations!
good upgrade din for me as it fits well on the rack!

nice on bro, ano pinalitan mo?  i mean what was the previous center speaker?

The mods on my NAD made it less warm, but I wouldn't say it sounds bright now. More like from small jazz club it kinda sounds like a concert hall now. I'm sure if a stock 304 or most other NADs for that matter the 10.5 might sound too shy still, despite the midrange.

Is 10.5 better than 10.6? (Whats the difference po?) I'm planning to buy and pair it to 10.1 (surround) and 10cm (center), pls. advise, thanks in advance...

i prefer the 10.5 since it has a dedicated mid-range driver. the 10.6 uses a dual woofer so it's not really a 3-way speaker but a 2-1/2 way speaker.

Thanks for the info

saw the 9.CM yesterday sa park square. the pictures don't do justice to how big (or how huge) it really is. also saw the 10.4 (dual 5.25"). looks interesting din given how the 9.1/10.1 were given rave reviews though there is always the reservation regarding lack of low end grunt. and i do agree the diamond 10's look really good in actual viewing.

[oweidah]

up.......bago mag-page 2. tahimik ah, puro series9 ang nasa marketplace/fs 

[LETOR]

Available na ba other colors?

[avshop]

Available na ba other colors?

wala pa.

[ASuL]

ako rin waiting for other other colors. sayang kasi if mag settle ka for something na hindi match sa interiors

[wengkapre]

[kabomanila]

wala pa rin used fs sa pdvd marketplace!

baka...

a>...binebreak-in pa?
b> ...di pa available ibang kulay maliban sa itim? 
k>...umaasang magbababa ng presyo sa 2010? (asa pa tayo, eh series 9 di pa yata binababa presyo!) 
d>...di naman kalayuan ang tunog o mas maganda pa ang series 9? 

[natosan]

my theory is sales of the 10 series is not as brisk as the 9 series because of the price increase. marami siguro satisfied na sa 9 series kaya ayaw na mag-upgrade. i have 10.2 which imho is a lot better than my 9.1s but also more expensive.

i for one would be interested in a 10.5 with a good price.

[blackie]

Still happy with the Diamond 9's

[paolorenzo]

Sold my 9.1 this morning...  I need a replacement floorstander immediately.

9.5 @ 12.5k or 10.5 @15.8k?  My center is 9.cs, and surrounds are 9dfs.

Tempting ang 10.5 because of the dedicated bass.  Pero I'm worried about the rear-port feature.  My fronts are only about 1 foot away from the rear wall.  Baka not enough clearance for the 10.5 rear ports?

Advice naman mga master...   

[ProtegeManiac]

Actually the strongest feature of the 10.5 isnt the dedicated bass driver, but the dedicated midrange. If you're worried about the distance between the wall and rear port, see if there's enough space to squeeze a sound absorption panel there. Mine works well, except I was able to move the speakers forward then just used the panels for the side walls.

[paolorenzo]

Thanks sir ProtegeManiac.

I just came back from Listening Room Megamall.  Fate has played a part in my decision since they do not have the 10.5 available.  9.5 was available in black.  12.5k usapan namin ni Minnie, then she gave me the last-minute discount so 12k na lang kuha ko.  5k cash, remaining 7k via credit card 6-month installment.  The 10.5 were by order, and priced at 15.3k only.

I'll stay away from this Wharf Diamond 10 thread for awhile, para iwas tukso...   :'(  Baka sa Wharfedale Diamond 11 na lang uli ako mag-iisip.   

OT:  on my way to Listening Room, na-tukso muna ako sa Mordaunt Short Carnival 8.  I miss my old MS Premier Satellite speakers.  Easy to drive, and great clarity.

[ProtegeManiac]

Congratulations on your purchase, either way just power them properly

Need a suggestion for the surround speakers, 10SR or 10DFS?
