Dear all,
Has anyone paired Wharf 9.5 with Denon 1910? I am seriously considering Wharfs 9.5 FS as my fronts.
I took an audition today of Wharfs 9.5 at Vector System Bangalore. They paired Wharf 9.5 with Onkyo 702 and an old Yamaha. In both cases the speakers were sounding harsh / bright. Not as sweet as Kef IQ50 with Denon.
I would like to know whether Wharfs sound less harsh with Denons. Was it Onkyo / Yamaha making Wharfs sound more harsh?
BTW, I am planning to get a new AMP and Speaker package. I have already decided on the AMP - Denon 1910.
Now the speakers. My MAX budget for speakers is - 80K (Fronts FS, Center, SUB. NO rears for now).
So far I have auditioned
1. Denon with Kef iQ50 (Sweet and Warm, less lively for fast disco music, perfect for vocals, classical, soft and movies).
2. Onkyo with B&W 684 (Great, but expensive way above my budget. Just the front pair cost around 75K).
3. Denon with Polk Lsi 300 & 400(Not impressed. Too harsh and lack of quality compared to Kefs)
4. Onkyo with Jamo 606 - Not impressed. I think it was harsh
5. Onkyo with Klipsch - Expensive and not impressed. I think it was harsh.
BTW, is Onkyo more bright / harsh AMP than Denon. Will the above speakers sound warm with Denon?
Pending audition
1. Denon with Monitor Audio BR5
Any other good options for 80K speaker budget???
Thanks in advance,
John.
