audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[phil15]

Narining ko na yung DLS reference and I personally used to own the PS 165v. Over the two, I would recommend (with a bit of bias) the Focal. For me, mas type ko yung kapal ng mid-bass ng Focal compared to the reference but make sure to have it tuned properly. The 165v is very lively and if not tuned properly, the highs could be fatiguing in long listening sessions.

Decent choice of amps you got there, up to you really which one you would prefer.

For the subs, since you plan to have these on a pick up - the MM840 with its shallow mounting depth puts it in an advantage. for deadening, both STPs work the same and I doubt any noticeable difference in SQ.

You might also want to consult a competent installer and get his opinion... Goodluck!

Good eve! May konting katanungan lang mga sir
Balak ko kasi mag ugrade ng front speakers, sub, amp, etc.
Pinagpipilian ko is DLS Reference or FOCAL PS 165v
Dahil mas mahal yung focal, gladen amp ang balak ko isama sa kanya. At pag sa DLS, sonus amp ang balak kong isama sa kanya.
Alin kaya mas okay sa dalawang setup? Or may amp pa ba kayo na ma suggest?
At anong sub babagay sa kanila? 8" ang target ko kasi masikip sa pickup lol. DD Redline 508 or Polk MM840?
Btw, alternative rock madalas kong pakinggan like Audioslave, RHCP, etc. Pero nakikinig din ako ng oldies like scorpion, bread, etc.
And malaki ba diff sa SQ ng STP Black sa STP Silver? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply sir phil15! Wow knowing na sikat ang DLS para sa midbass, at based sa ibang nababasa ko mahina daw ang midbass ng focal although bawing bawi naman sa details. Pero bali pagdating sa Reference vs PS165v, mas maganda midbass nung 165v? Hirap talaga magdecide hanggat di ko pa naririnig hehe. May mga nag suggest kasi sakin na mag DLS Reference dahil sa genre na pinapakinggan ko, pero nagtingin din naman ako reviews ng PS165v at okay naman nga daw, need lang ayusin talaga tono ng tweeter. Boses at midbass habol ko so baka mag focal na ako, kaya naman siguro ng installer ayusin para hindi masyado maging bright. Ill go for Gladen M-Line 75.4, PolkMM840, at STP Black na. Kailangan ko pa marinig yung DLS at Focal pa para maka decide 100% hahaha.
