price diff of P7.7K to be exact sir. tempting, pero ang hirap ijustify yung ganung amount. bahala na. i'm gonna buy pagkapanganak ni misis this july. kung magkano matitira. ehehehe.
i'm wondering why acoustic amps use 5"-8" woofers. i'm thinking is it because of fidelity? my HT uses 6.5" woofers only. boomy na yung 8" up. though i use a 10" subwoofer. is this the same sa principle ng amp-making ng acoustic? kaya ba 5" yung hartke ac75 & ac150?

Naku Tutyuta, pamilyado ka pala! Eh unless(!!) ito ay isang investment (gagamitin para kumita, ma roll mo for increasing current level of income) then go for it BUT kung luho lang eh mukhang dapat mo munang isipin ng Xs bese bago laanan ng PPPs. Eh manganganak pala misis mo. Daming reponsibilidad yan. Just a word to make you reasses your finances & of course yung sitwaysyon mo. Baka maging source of marital distress at conflict itong pagbili mo kung sakaling alangan.. Marami pa namang kasi lalabas na mga bagong produkto dyan. Alam mo na man na lahat ito ay marketing ng mga Kano!! Wag ka madali, marami pa dyan.
Now, reagrding use of 8" for such amplification, di ko alam ang rason talga. It could be the economies of scale in terms of serial production in factories, it could be a design advantage so that maging compact nga yung Compact 60 at Alpha. It could also be acoustic, dahil napupuna ko na ang mga near-field monitors mga 8" ata ginagamit. At ang 8" na yan ay full range driver. Baka rin dahil sa dapat mas warm ang tunog. Baka rather than using small tweeters matched with a large subs (12"-15") which may not do justice to the supposed warmer harmonics of producing 'woodsy" sounds. I know that small drivers (1"-2") produce sharp sounds so baka di maganda sa acoustic. I am not certain if the AER amps use the AER line of speakers which are made in Stuttgart, WG. Mahal ang mga 8" driver nun upwards of $1K each!! And are employed in home audiophiles sytems. We also use the AERs for the electric violin (compact 60) & the 'silent' cello (acousticube). If you can get the Crate nga pala, I remember that it was going for about P13-17K when we got those about 3 yrs ago. I'm sure di pa nagtaas yun. Maganda rin tunog nung Crate at meron pa syang 4 or 5-band EQ.
There is another brand of excellent acoustic speakers & as well as combos for acoustics. Medyo hi-end rin sya. Brand is Daedalus. Yung pinaka flagship nilang baffle (1203 ata??) has (if I recall correctly) 1x 1-.25" fabric dome tweeter made by Vifa, 2x 5" mid/sub driver (custom-made in the US by I'don't know for Daedalus) and 2x 12" sub by Emminence Omega Pro. Daedalus is geared for reproducing accurate acoustic music. Read up on them as you may find out the reasons for using certain sized drivers for specific applications. Also go to the Emminence site which can even help you design the driver enclosure with their volume calculator for specific driver's specs.Kung ako saiyo mag project ka at maghanap ka nung mga lumang di-tubong amps!! bumuo ka ng system mo, slow but maganda! Patience ang puhunan mo dito. I can refer you to mga local geniuses who reproduce those venerable tube amps.
Bumili ka ng acoustic preamp at maghanap ka ng lumag de-tubong amp (50 watts) then into a JBL baffle. OR get a good acoustic preamp, then directly plug into a powered baffle such as the Mackie SRMs or JBL EONS or mas mura pang B3s or Behringers. Ang Behringers ay dito lahat denedesign sa Salcedo village ng ating mga magagaling na Pinoy EEs!!! SA China ang pagawaan. Pero dito ang mga utak!!!
