thanks bro....any idea suggestion on a decent bookshelf speaker? my budget is within 3k....

You can bring your gears to audition at Wharfaudio show room, lol, easy, prepare as much songs as you can

Based on my hearing experience, the Opus and Jade series sound a bit more sparkling than I want, Denton is the best in bookshelf craftsmanship I've seen, but can sound a bit congested and grainy on some tracks, so it's a bit of vintage mid bass bump which suit rock n roll very very good, vocal then depends source, though the Denton sound good on almost all genre. While for the new Diamond 122 or Diamond 200 series, it sound a bit more airy and bassy for large scale listening like orchestra, but could be a bit fatigue and less natural if listen to jazz, vocal and instrumental, also it depend gears you are using too, my setup is transparent full blown power amp here, so kinda reveal each of these speakers characteristics. Lastly, to my surprise, I found that I love to listen to a pair of Diamond 9.1, they sound very good in everthing, a word balanced can be used to describe the sound. Another near to high end crisp sound you can consider is the EVO Signature series, very dynamic and crisp, but I'm not sure the about fatigue level yet.

i totally new into speaker world....so i got very less knowledge on this...
i wanna buy a pair of bookshelf to pair with TV....may I know is it need a AV receiver?

Diamond 121 and 200 which one is more worth??

If you are choosing between these 2, go for the 200, better cabinet and finish, the 100 does not impress me in finish and build, one advice though, be careful of the bottom pcs of board, I accidentally cause a small crack on one corner of the bottom board when I put it down on some uneven floor

definitely you need something to power the speaker. AV receiver is one of it.

ya....any nice and cheap suggestion to power this pair??
as a beginner i think i will not aim too high end model....


ok good...i am reading review for 220.....will take note also

AV receiver will be the cheapest and easiest way to go about.

AV receiver may not be the cheapest to power up speakers...

if the major usage is music listening, a proper stereo amp is still better....

marantz and NAD entry levels are quite affordable....

not to mention entry level tubes from China.....

i want it to connect with TV....and i cant afford to buy AVR and an amp together now...
so is it AVR is the best choice??

if you want to connect TV and use HDMI ARC feature, then an AVR would be a better choice.

so here's the thing..... AVR is also an amplifier, more feature and home theater intended

a stereo amplifier is more suitable for music purposes.

so either one works....

thanks....so i will aim an AVR first....amplifier is next year target dy....

you don't require another amplifier if you get an AVR...

hi guys, I'm eagerly looking for a pair of Diamond 9.2 or Diamond 9.3, anybody willing to let go can PM me ya, thanks!

whafaudio quote me 1.9k for diamond 220....how you guys think??

Is reasonable

oh ok....
may i know what brand AVR best suit with Wharfedale sounds??

Really no specific brand. Any will do but don't go for denon and marantz as their distributor is gone from Malaysia.

which in another way they both would be pricier right?

Don't know but for sure will be more headache when come to support if needed

i think i mostly go with yamaha....because cheaper.....
just i dunno is it suit diamond 220......
