monitor audio bronze b2 a lot better than wharfedale 9.1 to me lah. it sings!! wharfedale just produces good sounds. so if u're looking for a sweet sounding pair of speaker MA bronze b2 nicer than wharfedale 9.1

which is why i'm using them now. got them for 1.5k btw.... around 3-4 months old already. rm800 for a pair is a bloody steal

ooo.............u using b2 now?? good??
then i must check it out from my fren. hopefully he still has it with him.
so, wat system u currently using with the b2? mind to share?

Monitor Audio name is used to be synonomous with hi-end spkrs. Only few yrs back, they ventured into bgt and entry level segment, which i feel is good as they have the experience.

However, rule of the thumb; trust ur ears.

ya, will listen to both to decide. where can i llisten to the MA?
my fren just told me that his was sold.
is the new one about 1.5k? almost double the price of 9.1??
but one with bigger mid-bass driver.

ah..... wasted ur fren sold it. i listened to diamond 9.1 on marantz amp... some really big high end one. it sounded good but didn't impress me. then i heard the MA bronze b2 at sense solutions on azur 640A. wah damn the impressed. diana krall was really singing on that setup.

sense solution got, they're in damansara perdana. and i saw one pair in city square forgot wat shop name, but the owners a bit snaky wan... as in not conmen but they really know how to do business if u get wat i mean

The city square one is Rave and the owner is plain irritating. U can go audition there but pls think twice if u plan to buy from them...personally I dont wanna say much, just experience yourself and be careful there...hehehe

he's my grandfather............hehe, kidding.
went there b4, din notice the MA. maybe not observant enough. do u think the MA B2 is cheap if i manage to get it at 1.2k?

if it's new it's cheap. but places like rave there it's been on display for quite long oredi. they'll probably sell u that unit

RM1.2K is quite good. From sense?

it's an offer from a fren who likes to ship some HT stuffs direct from singapore.
that's how i get my MS sub previously and has been satisfied with it ever since.

I've been to City Square but not sure if U R talking abt the same one. The owner is some old Chinese couple, right ? What have they done to cause U having such an irritating experience ?

What I observed when there is that they look like retiree with some strong opinion on what HIFI is abt ? I was looking for floorstand speaker to upgrade my Wharfadale Evo & they recommed Silver series R6. Audition the pair & soundstage is clear & musical. Asked the old man some Q abt the spec. Guess what he said ? "Young man, why U need to know the spec ? And how's that gonna influence u to buy or not to buy ? U shd listen wif ur ear & feel the music. Juz tell me what music U want me to play for U & U relax & listen. Better still, bring ur own CD or best to bring over ur amp+CD palyer & let me set it up for U to judge urself !"

Well, u can't say he is totally wrong. I suppose he being old & I look young & he juz wanna give some lecture abt HIFI. So I guess to them, customer is not always right & in HIFI, that's is not quite a disaster. I prefer that to someone who juz like to sweet talk everything they sell & nothing else.

BTW, according to him, MA will be shifting the manufacturing base to China. Hopefully that will push down further the price. (provided the quality control is maintained).

MA's speaker, as I understand from him, is made up of metal driver. That probably explain why it sounds clear & musical to me. But I think I juz keep my Wharfedale Evo for time being as the MA sounds my not be my liking after listening for a longer period owing to its bright sound.

If u like MA sounds, U may even want to try out the Danish brand, Dali. Just next door to the MA showroom. I think the HQ is in Penang. The Ikon series speaker driver is made of ribbon which i was told can produce even brighter sounds...

i dunno about the silver but the bronze's drivers are not metal. it's plastic mixed with metal according to MA. the tweeters are metal tho. wharfedales sound warmer than MAs. the first few weeks with it i felt the MA's were too bright, but after a while it's not so irritating anymore. mebbe burn in oredi

tks for the sharing. How abt low freq reproduction?

i would say it's accurate lah. not boomy or exaggerated. most of my friends that are into car audio says no bass. but it does extend down, not as low as floorstanders but it's just not as bloated as car systems. refined is more like it

ICE freaks is diff from Hi-Fi freaks lah. Have u ever notice any car audio that doesnt has 'booomm......thoooommpppphhh.....' bass just like disco? Everything just seems too 'powerful'

ya thats why my car audio is still stock. hehehe. i feel that ICE is over priced, for the price really cannot get proper system

Before u cld listen to the whole disc, u might have reach ur destination. But, as i sadi b4; one man's poison is another man's meat.

haha yes thats exactly why i never upgrade my car audio, my house from my shop previously was like 5mins only. now i work from home... so no point

Not forgetting the tendency of being stolen too as burglary is rampant nowadays esp if u live in Section 17.

yea, now and then got ppl lose car as seen in the forums. btw anyone here using class-t amps?
