tnx for the tips sir. but sold out na po yung 9 series dito sa cebu all there selling here are 10 series line na.
will ask the shop today if pwede bang mag order ng 9 series. if not then i have no other option but to get the 10 series for surrounds.

Ahh, in that case go ahead with the Diamond 10 units. It's only a minor difference anyway.

Good luck!

I have Wharfedale 10.6 fronts, CS 9.0 center, and WH3 surrounds.....while it sounds alright to my newbie ears, I know this mixed match set up has it's flaws....what should I watch out for with this kind of setup? Will continuing to keep this setup damage in any way my speakers or avr? Thanks for your comments.

Any in depth review of the 10.1 from users here?

I went to an audio/video store in HP last week (former image) and I ask the salesman there which is better, the 9.1 or 10.1 and he said the 9.1 is still better (?!). I owned the 9.1 before so I know how it sound and frankly speaking, it didn't suit my taste to a tee thus I sold it. Now, I'm planning to try out the 10.1 to see if the series improved but with a comment such as above, I'm having second thoughts. By the way, the same salesperson recommends the PSB alpha b1 to be better than the 2 diamonds. Hmmm .... $:-\$

Up the topic...I'm planning to buy straight Diamond 10 speakers as an upgrade to my old and trusted Yamaha NS-100 speakers with a Yamaha AVR as well. Would the Diamond 10 complement with the Yamaha AVR or would this cause any issues?

Sandbox,

That should be ok.

The 10.1 has a bigger and heavier sound, when compared to the 9.1. Refinement has improved a tiny bit, but I think the 9.1 has better PRAT. Some gear will match better with the 9.1, whilst others will prefer the 10.1.

As with the salesperson, I also prefer the Alpha B1 over either. If you're going with Diamond bookshelves, I suggest listening to the 9.3. I find it more neutral and extended, with much less bloat and congestion (typical of the 9.1/10.1 because of the upper bass boost).

I suggest trying out the Polk audio Tsi or Rti a series. Also the infinity Primus series.

Got the 10.1 and 10.cs from sights and sounds, I'm happy with it and currently breaking it in. At mid of this year i'm planning to buy a floorstander and move my 10.1 to the rear. What floor stander do you recommend?

BTW, I auditioned as well the PolK Audio TSI 100 and its a shame I don't have the budget since I was aiming for a center and front speakers when I was there. Nonetheless the Diamond 10 series is a good buy for me.

Kayang kaya naman i-drive ng 160 yan. Pakinggan mo lang kasi baka medyo dark yung output with HK.

Something brighter-sounding siguro like Denon or Pioneer.

sir paano po ang installation ng DFS? kung yung TV ko with FS facing the wall na sa back wall pa din ba sya dapat ilagay or sa side wall? kasi pag sa back wall edi sa side ang firing ng speakers?

hi guys, i am interested in diamond 10.2 and i am trying to find a decent review sa net pero wala akong makita. any user reviews/feedbacks? how does it compare with other similarly priced standmounters and higher priced speakers (other brands).. i am also interested with monitor audio's bx2, does the performance justifies the 5k price premium over the dia 10.2?

i hope you can help me guys. thanks ü

Hello,

I am planning to buy surround sound speaker and I find the wharfdale DFS seems bang for the buck. Is it really bang for the buck? ParkSquare shop told me that the 9 DFS is has no significant improvement compared to the 10 DFS surround? Is that true or he just want to sell me the old model 9 DFS?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Julia · « **Reply #228 on:** Aug 29, 2011 at 02:40 PM »

Hello, Same question here. Hope someone can provide quick feedback as I tried searching in the net but can't find any comparison. Planning to get one very soon.

TIA!

tawag kasi ni merdenoms ay metal strap kaya nakakalito, di rin ako sure sa reply ko kasi ang focus nung image nya ay yung sa wall mount option.
