Ya, goertek.

anyone know where i can get my hand on JVC EX-AK1?

hah taikor.....tot u went MIA travelling dunno where d....

honestly speaking....ur hall setup not yet fully maximize......

plus you tambah BMB subwoofer with dynaudio.......of coz for bass heads this is a good setup ler...
hehehehehehe

wait till you hentam Pass Labs with ur Guarneri.....

ok...back to bookshelves setup...

the comparisons are not accurate per se as the room conditions, power and many other factors defer....

proper setup is required to achieve the best sound

take wharfedale for example.....i've help my friend setup the diamond 10.3 (not sure if the model is right...but its the floor stander)....with an AV....music streaming and via USB....albeit not the audiophile standard but he wanted decent music sound....

his hall was L shaped.....with dining attached on the right and balcony with sliding glass door on the left

the sound naturally skewed to the left and right was more empty.....

left speaker was repositioned to zero toe and heavy curtains were used as damping
right speaker had to toe in a little to balance the sound

he had a subwoofer on the left side and we shifted it to the right to create more mass and reflection

the entire pair of speakers was moved from 6" from the wall to 1 meter from the wall....

results....well at least the left and right balance was there....

his was a very budget setup....at the end....he said he was satisfied with the results....

Just got a pair of Wharfedale Denton, it's very good for small room, just need to burn in to open the sound, also I think it need more juice, but not at the moment, haha coz my wallet out of juice =.=

congrats on your new purchase

Whats a good cheap sub to pair with swans d1080 mkII? considering the price of the speakers are rm500, my budget is about rm300-400. Does subwoofers go that low used? and if so, got any places in KL that sell them?

you are not getting enough bass?

want to improve a little on the bass. feels kinda weak compare to the highs and mids of the d1080.

welll....mind sharing your entire setup and how you place the speakers?
pix would be good

Denton looks best pair with tube amp. but best sound with more wattage

Not MIA lah but busy bee lah
No new purchases except for the Shure 846 earphones for my kid
She likes it so I am pleased

Bro, positioning the speakers 1m from the wall will only invite XXXXX from the missus
Not a very good advise ler

I bought it new for MYR3,320

Hmm, tube got a cycle for "mood", lifespan is pretty troublesome for me to maintain, so I still prefer solid state integrated amp, currently using PM6005, the Wharfedale Denton getting better with it , next year will aim for amp with power around 100watts, sth like Rotel or Arcam?

wow, well price a bit high as usual for dynaudio , the Wharfedale Denton I bought really good price, just because there is minor crack on the wood egge , so lucky

Between, how's the Dynaudio sound signature? Warm? 3D? Room filling airy sound? Tight and controlled bass?

Potato camera but that is how it is right now. Maybe gonna diy a speaker rack to keep them level with my ears. Input is from PC>USB>aune t1>speakers.

well, I heard of Mcintosh, but the price make me stop

oooooooo don't ask me cos it isn't run in yet but what I can say is that the subwoofer helped a lot. Warm? Not quite but then again I listen to Deep Purple, Linkin Park and Swedish House Mafia (so warm isn't what I look for in a speaker). Tight, yes...controlled bass, I prefer the setup hooked to a subwoofer. You want bass, get a bassy amp instead (like Krell) or hook up a subwoofer. The thumping will get your missus (if you are married) onto you in less than a second.

Price was a wee bit high cos I bought it quite a while ago and I know it has dropped now.

Hushymushy's Audio Research prices will stop you dead
So will the setup of a few other members here
Hi end hifi is not a cheap hobby
Top end cables and connectors alone will kill your bank account
Work hard, save hard (like myself) and you will be able to afford the McIntosh

from the looks of it (if you don't mind me being honest), the speakers are a bit too near the rear wall

and putting the speakers on the table as oppose to a proper stand.....the impact is quite great
a sub would help in your scenario...but you need to be wary of the sub pace, low pass frequency and high pass frequency roll offs....it might bring your music to a slow down pace....

perhaps an 8" sub might be sufficient
