hey guys

i have been using diamond 8 series 5.1 (bipole surround, SW subbie) for almost good shape over 4 years

the speakers really serve me well (in term $ vs perf.), love the yellow-ish Kevlar mid driver


but once i m in deep BLU now... i m really hunger for better mid range speakers like 683/684 & a velodie sub



how about u guys... CHEERS

don't hesitate...just CHANGE!!!!

i'm with Diamond Center speaker for years,recently watch Tsai Chin in Concert baru realise my center spk not enuf liaw,when got extra $$$,i'm thinking of exchange the center with my Klipsch bookshelf now(my current front spk),set up a 6.1,convert surround back to single channel, ( not 7.1,very "ma-fun" and not enuf $ ).

quite like the shape of Waffy Pacific Evo 30 floorstander ( the piano finish one is nice ) but feel a bit "not tall enuf " I saw a pair of demo unit here selling 3.3k,brand new 4.8k.Brand new walnut finish only 3.8k

OT a bit,anyone here got JBL ES100 with 2 pcs 10" woofer ? Saw it last few days,the outlook very nice

Are you sure they're the 'most famous' loudspeakers?

anyone know where i can find this kind of brand

diamond 9 user reporting in~

hahahaha.. my Diamond III since 1991 still working well.

Eventhough I do not own a Wharfedale now but my first set of speakers was a Wharfedale Studiocraft, way back in 1981 liaw.. hehehe, driven by the infamous NAD 3020, it was great(loud,musical and dynamic) especially we're having a party!

callmevil,pls kindly leave ur Diamond 9 spks ( complete set with surround and center ) in front of Yayasan Hua Hou Hypermarket and give me a call,i'm going to pick out there,habis itu i belanja u makan KFC at Hua Hou,hehehe

"kutip ayam mati" ah ?

being using wharfy spkr since 'Modus' series and now Diamond 9 full series spkr. no regrets, still like the warmth sound.

used to study in england circa late 90s and back then, whafedale stuff were like 'second grade'...don't think any of the student hifi kakis there were considering whaferdales as part of their system.

most of us were into mission, B&W etc (thanks of the what hi-fi!)...but i guess whaferdale's branding have improved now..

thier Diamond series is still very much popular among those hifi/ht kaki. notably on 8.1 and 9.1 model. also bcz of thier price is affordable.

Wah, finally a thead for Wharfedale speakers.

I used to own a pair of the award winning Diamond 9.1. Very nice smooth sound, though a little bit to warm for my taste.

IIRC, the phrase "Britain's Most Famous Loudspeakers" was on the box.

I used to have the WH-2 center speakers as temporarily solution...

cheap & good quality but don't expect too much from the small driver especially the low & high range...mid tone were very good though...

but seriously speaking the sub is so so

forget the sub laa haha appreciate the diamonds!!!

May I know where can I buy a pair of this speaker ? And roughly how much is the 9.1 ?

Thanks.

interested in buying this speaker too,lolz.

Wharfy 9.1 not bad, price range is arround RM850-900 and cheapest i quote is RM800. From Desa Audio LYP, i was 3 months ago.
All audio stuff's price hike recently, but you can try to get some 'old' stock.
Dont forget to put Tannoy Mercuru MX1 in your shotlist too, my 2 cents
