whyeme Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Wow, Bronze-1 can get $400 a pair? If can then it would be an interesting PK. Afaik, speakers at around the $400 mark new are the Wharfedale Diamond 220, Usher S-520 and Advanced Audio Acoustics JM 3/5A which might be worthy contenders. Just musing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekinchu Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 purchased 2 pair of bs22 from amazon before i learn of the new Elac debut speaker. I ordered another pair of Elac B5 and 1C5. B5 arrived 1st and i just hook it up. I am very pleased with this purchased. Now waiting for my Centre pcs to arrived and next will be getting a sub to complete my setup. anyone here have experience shipping sub from the US? was think of getting a VTF-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cable-guy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Bro dekinchu, congrats on your shopping spree! I bought a cheap Polk Audio sub a while ago along with a cheap Power Bright step-down transformer (2 x amp wattage) because the shipping was free and needed something just for the boom dept because my old HT sub finally died after 10 years. If you have to pay for shipping and the step-down for local voltage...maybe could consider a local purchase. As for BS22, if bought cheap and still in a box maybe other bros may want them...its after all a different price point comparing with the Debut B5 and B6.

Just musing :) Bro whyeme or anyone auditioned the Wharfedale Diamond 220 before? Quite curious...cannot try every pair of bookshelves in the market, even if they are mid-price and even if I can really raise the $...cannot increase any more footprint.

Bro you want small footprint speakers? Buy BOSE jewel cubes. Best in the world. Just kidding ;D I did listen to the Wharfedale 220 briefly, and if my audio memory serves me correct, it has a warmer, more laid-back presentation than the B6.

Epicure2 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I prefer laid-back speakers. I have just auditioned the Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2 and now I am getting confused on which model is best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whyeme Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Offload the bs22 since it's not in use :) Have not listened to Almarro and Zu before. What's their sound signature like? Zu is Cnet Steve Guttenburg's ref spkr I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cable-guy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The older Jap Almarro M1A, just over a foot high, is over 8 kg a piece completely solid Hokkaido oak all round. Its got a rubbery driver with deep lows and well controlled resonance, the tweeter is small but produce very lively and engaging highs without being too bright. Enjoy them most with Jap drums, play whole album, e.g. Ondekoza's Fujiyama. Zu Audio Omen Def (not to be confused with the $xx,xxxx Definition), 100dB sensitivity full range with a punch, very musical...can be driven by just 2W...like them for tube amps esp. SET/SEP. Got them from Sound Consultants, the authorised dealer for Zu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlzy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi, anyone knows where to get the Pioneers in SG and what the current price is ? Also anyone running these with a turntable ? thx They were last sold at Courts for $399 a pair, which isn't exactly cheap. Getting from Amazon/eBay will be a much better deal as I remembered I got a pair (in the past) for about S$180 (incl. shipping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
