review for good audio & home theater
honga!
gawa ka naman ng review ng mga astig na speakers na yan
na ikaw lang meron lahat!
Sir Jess,
You've heard both the Dali and the RS6 in your audio setup. who sings better?
oh! same question tayo brader byron....kaka PM kolang kay Hatorni...hehehe
Brader Mr. H,
torn at what speakers to target for.... sino nga ba mas magaling kumanta? hehe
Mga bros. Although I've heard these speakers, to pin-point which is better than the other is quite difficult.
Medyo subjective ata yan. .... baka may matapakan tayo e ... yare.
One set maybe better suited for audio while the other for HT. Pasensya na but I would not want to point out which is which at this point ...
Besides, the choice of music also play a big role when choosing what speakers to get. Moreover, pairing the speakers with what particular amp is also another deciding factor. Would you want SS amps, hybrids, or pure tubes.
Would be best if you can audition these speakers and hear out which would best suit your hearing pleasure.
PLASMA pa rin !!!!!!
Braders in crime and my friend hatorni,
I hope its ok to share my personal thoughts and maybe to pave the way for setting the premise for my friend jess’ review…
The question is – “which speaker sings better?”
First…audio is indeed subjective…The last audio test at streetsmart’s “dream theater” already speak for itself. My ears have more “luga” than my friends. :'( I preferred the dolby digital dts than loss less audio at the last EB.
Am sure gasgas na when you hear
"audition it for yourself"
"let your ears decide"pero yan talaga ang tama.
Second…genre too play a role…I remember asking the master to modify my DU-3i. He did not immediately say yes, he first asked what kind of music I listen to. He was wanting to create the best to suit my listening impression and modify to suit my ears.
I bought a pair of bookshelf speakers JMLab Focal Chorus 806V and man do they sing! Jim even told me not to sell those. Hearing a sample of John Lucien singing Dindi…you will hear the pauses, breaks, and his saliva slurps as clear as he was just like 3 ft from you. (Parang nung bumulung si jim kay jess!)
But after playing my other genre, hmmmm...medyo bitin.
Third…system synergy is key…We know that amplifiers are built differently…
they may provide different impressions even using the same speakers it is paired with…
the same amplifier combos may differ in sound depending on what you play on it...
there are several possible combos:
- integrated solid state 2ch,
- separates solid state 2ch,
- integrated tube 2ch,
- separates tube 2ch,
- integrated hybrid 2ch,
- solid state pre amp ch, tube power amp
- tube preamp 2ch, solid state power amp
- receiver solid state multi-channel
- pre/processor multi-channel, multi-channel power amp
An 8wpc single ended tube amplifier may sound better than a 30wpc tube integrated amplifier if paired with highly efficient speakers.
I heard the B&Ws paired with the 2ch Bada hybrid and IMO, they matched well. I heard the same B&W speaker paired with a Rotel Pre/Pro and powered by a 200wpc solid state Audio Research and it did not seem to please my ears.
To make it more complicated, amplifiers have different circuitries and tube amps would have different set of flavors with different sets of tubes.
We also know that speakers are built with varying sensitivities, power and harmonic distortions, size and cabinet build (bookshelf, floorstanders), number and size of drivers, built of tweeters (silk, ribbons, berrylium, horns to name a few), front or back port, etc.
We also know that interconnects and speaker wires have different builds and possesses different sound characters. IMO, My more expensive MIT did not work for my RS6 but my very affordable QEDs opened it.
We also know that they come in varying price ranges, hence build quality may differ from one another.
Fourth…tweaks also make a difference…I used to play my speakers with about 4ft (tweeter to tweeter) distance. And I was already singing with it. But when I placed them farther apart and towed them in a bit, I was both singing, tapping my feat. When I changed my CDP, I was hearing more and more. When I changed to floorstanders from my bookshelf, I was playing more and more genre. When I changed the caps of my amp…I was dancing! Jaw-dropping sound! But that is me.
Ewan ko si Jim ano impression niya...ayun iniwan ko...pailing-iling!
I heard my RS6 with its stock jumpers and I was smiling…I changed the jumpers with Kimber cables (c/o audiojunkie) and man, Jim and I was just looking at each other, immediately hearing the big difference – all things equal.
Fifth...varying degrees of use will tell a difference...Equipment will produce different sound using the same source or speakers at its varying stages. straight from the box and after burn-in period.
The answer I will leave to brader jess…post your personal impressions away hatorni. Ok lang naman yan and no worries.
Jas, just posted his preference. Am sure the others, including myself will respect that. The guys are asking for your impressions and I guess they realize this is your subjective opinion.
This is ok la!
Lab ka namin remember! Pa kiss nga diyan!
