 Awesome for DVD/Blu Ray Less Impressive for Music Oct 29, 2009
These speakers are pretty good. What do I mean? You get what you pay for. I think these speakers are an incredible value but there are a few things people looking for speakers in this price category, and beyond should know.
First off, if you watch a lot of DVDS and have an otherwise audiophile system you will be blown away from the sound quality from these babies. The bass is solid tight, the mids are pure, and highs silky. Absolute flawless sound clarity! The volume you will be able to produce from the twin towers is exceptional while maintaining better than movie house sound. I can't say enough about Def Tec when it comes to movies from a Blu-Ray or DVD...frickin incredible. You can put together an envious movie theater system for $5k in 7 channels that will rival $100k systems. For movies Def Tec is totally the way to go.
I have a completely different opinion when it comes to listening to pure music. They just are not musical. If you enjoy pure stereo sound you will be extremely disappointed with these speakers. They just don't offer that depth and stage presence you expect out of an audiophile speaker. They come close but you would be better spending your money somewhere else. For the same price I might suggest Linn or Magnepan. Neither of those speakers will offer the same bass but they will make up for it in depth and sonic quality. The other thing to note is both of those speakers kinda suck to play movies on, compared to the Def Tecs. Now to add a twist, if you buy a BluRay or DVD concert DVD the musicality is still phenomenal. Case study, The Cream's latest DVD. Sound is superb, Def Tecs are totally musical. I can't explain it.
My system is made up with NAD(amp), Krell(av preamp), Jolida(cd), and Samsung(best blu ray) components, and I use all Def Tec for my 7 channel system....when I watch movies/TV. Not super expensive but considered pretty good darn equipment. As noted the musicality of the Def Tecs I think is pretty poor so I use a pair of Magnepans 3.6 just for music.

 Bi-polar fun Sep 08, 2009
Have lived with 2 of these speakers for a month. I wanted a separate two channel rig to play CD's separate from my home theater. I know many folks will want to use these speakers in that context, but this sort of set up will reveal any flaws inherent in the speakers themselves alone, not a complex of surrounds, subs and other factors.
Unpacking and delivery. OMG. These boxes are huge. The delivery guys are really struggling bringing them in the door. If you plan to move these yourself you had better be capable and have a strong back. The boxes are literally nine feet long and are at least 150 lbs each. Unpacking them required a bit of time. They are doble boxed, so there is a lot of speaker box remaining. The best strategy is to open the bottom end first, peel away the plastic from that, and them tip the box upright. Then, carefully split the seam on the sides, enabling you to unwrap them. Be careful as there is highly finished wood on the top and bottom, and the speaker itself is wrapped in a fabric, if damaged, will not be replaceable or removable that I can see.
Setup and first sound tests. After connecting audio quest cables with UST plugs to the speakers binding posts, and taking care of all the other connections necessary, I began to play with these speakers. I started with a CD I've used for years that is quite demanding, but I've heard it on many systems. All I wanted to do was make sure these were working and undamaged at this point. They passed that OK. They are unspiked at this point and they are not even positioned with any care at all. The sound was quite good out of the box, but I've heard better. I found that I had the subs turned way up on one and down on the other. After I corrected a minor connection issue and turned the sub level to 1 o'clock on both, I could then hear something quite different with the same recording. Wow. Quite nice initial bite on the treble that I really liked and I am a bass guy. I heard a clarity that I've not heard before. As the days pass, I give these speakers a REAL workout. Some organ music, quite demanding on bass, was tried. The subs struggled a bit with this. This CD is actually the most demanding I own. I managed to shake the house but I can't say that it sounded like a real organ. I had to turn down the volume a bit as I was hearing some real deep passages from the speakers being stressed out. I was concerned at this point.
Initial impressions. These are clearly full range speakers but they have their limitations. I backed off playinig very demanding bass CD's and went to more mainstream orchestral and piano CD's. I realized that there is a break in period on these speakers. Not fair to pass judgement on them right out of the box. So I decided to loosen them up a bit first. This was a good thing as I can hear some improvement versus what I heard before that made me a bit concerned. My concernes related to a very subtile rattle from one sub during a very low loud passage. I was not sure if it was room resonance or a bad sub. I tried other CD's and did not hear it. I now think it may have been a cabinet resonance instead of a bad sub.
Further impressions. Two weeks to one month of listening. yes I can say these are loosening up a bit. Seems to play things more effortlessly now. I am playing other organ CD's and it is really nice, no issues. Sounds quite real. I can't say that I'd mistake it for the real thing on closing my eyes. I think that is impossible. I've now tried a wide variety of instumental, vocal and electronic music. I'm pretty happy overall. I was really expecting a speaker that was weighted toward the bass, but these really have a strong treble too, which surprised me. I stressed the speakers out at one point, causing my amp to overheat and shut down so I am in no way baby-ing these at all. I would say these are great choices for music systems like I have created. They would also shine in the home theater context, assuming you have room for them in the correct position.
All in all, greatly musical. The subs are not unflappable. I am considering aux subs to handle the deepest tones. I would keep these subs turned down about half way, as fully up makes them really overbearing and unmusical. The highs and midranges are quite nice. In fact, vocal music, piano, sound great. Being bi-polar, there is no real soundstage as in "normal" speakers. This is more diffuse, more floating sort of sound. Some will like it, others might not. If you are expecting a very coherent presentation, this is not it. If you enjoy a more "surround" feeling, like you are floating in the sound, then these will be your thing. By the way, fit and finish are excellent.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
