Hi,
I have some general questions to choose speakers for my 5.1 setup for 60% music and 40% movies.
I have shortlisted and auditioned Wharfedale 9.2, 9.5, 9.6 and Obsidian. But auditioned them only as front speakers not as a complete set as 5.1 setup. Among them I liked 9.5 and 9.6 while I was listening. I intend to use my existing Q Acoustics 2020 speaker as rear in 5.1 setup hope it will be fine.
Here is some technical details of these speakers for quick reference
Here are my general questions.
1. What can be the technical reason for liking 9.5/6 among them? Is it just due to the in-built bass or mid range driver with it as it is a FS? Could it be possible to have the same experience if I suppose auditioned 9.2 with SW150 sub and 9.CS center speaker?
2. In speaker specification I see Crossover frequency. Does it mean if I choose particular frequency in that range, the speaker will sound within that frequency signal?
3. Does all the speakers have crossover or only sub and FS?
4. As my primary purpose of the AV system is for music, I think the Obsidian set seems to be not suitable as, just technically thinking that none of the speaker in this package does not sound frequencies beyond 20kHz while human can hear up to 22kHz. Even while I was auditioning I feel the other set sounds better than this Obsidian. Does my analysis and perception are reasonable?
5. What is the size of the SW-150 sub? Is it 8" or 10" driver? I see in the spec. "Driver 10" 205mm", but 205mm is just only 8". Then how it is said 10" driver in spec.
6. In BS, it is common that there are two drivers. one is tweeter and what is the another one? Is it pure bass or mid or mixed?
Thanks,
Sakitram
