Hello,
I have decided to go for the DENON AVR 1612.
My room size is - 17 ft x 12ft
Listening preference - 70% Music ; 30% Movies
Kindly suggest :
1. Floor Speakers - (Make and Price)
2. Woofer/Sub - (Make and Price)
3. Satellite speakers - (Make and Price)
4. Centre speaker
My Budget is @1,00,000/- for the whole package (5.1)
Denon 1911 (A/V reciever) - Rs 32,000
Wharfedale 9.6 (Front Towers) - Rs 35,000
Wharfedale 9cs (center Channel) - Rs 11,000
Wharfedale 9 DFS (Rear dipole) - Rs 11,000
Subwoofer(Klipsch SW 450/ wharfedale SW 150/Velodyne Impact 10) - Rs 23,000
------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL - Rs 1,12,000
These are appox prices but with cables etc should work out to around 1,1lakh or less. Since you are considering the Denon 1611 it will be in your 1 lakh budget
This is definitively a VFM setup
Denon's compliment the Wharfedale 9 / 10 very well . However I feel the 9.6 is way better than the 10.5 having heard and used both. the 9.6 dedicated midrange as well well as bigger woofers (8 inch x 2)
the 9.6 is comparable to the 10.7 similar specs except for the larger woofers on the 9.6
Infact with the 9.6/9.5 you could do without the sub for a some time and save on some quid.
A fellow HiFiian member has reviewed the 9.6 very well please take a look at the review
The 10 series is a newer series and there has been subtle changes to the cabinet design and some addition to bling on the cone surrounds etc. Sonically very little to differentiate between the 9 and 10.
However i would suggest that you audition the 9's as well as the 10's and decide which one you like better. bec at the end of the day what sounds nice to your hear may not sound nice to mine and vice versa
CONS of the setup i mentioned above
- The Wharfedale 9.6 front towers are fairly large, if you don't have the space for it, you can look at its smaller siblings or Good bookshelves from other brands
- You may have cops knocking on your front door for violating sound norms
