Definitive Tech Owner's Thread

**Mark L** · **03-17-08, 10:28 PM**

Wow guys I just found this thread and was excited about being a part of it. I just installed a pair of UIW BPZ/A rears, and a new CLR 3000 center. I am very happy with my purchase and was looking at there subs but after reading the post on here I am having second thoughts. There are so many different opinions out there now I'm lost. Oh well I guess I need to read some more.

Yeah, there a lot o subs that sound great with Def Techs. I was going to get the SVS 10" but I ended up grabbing the Klipsch RW-12d because I got it for around $450 on clearance. It sounds great with my deftechs. Welcome to the forum

Can't believe Sandy Gross has never heard the system.

so far for my HT, I've settled upon Yamaha RX-V1800 and Sammy HL61A750. I know I want Definitive Technologies for Speakers, (my rec Room HT has Def Tech Speakers and I LOVE THEM), but I'm not sure what I need since I'm new to 7.1 configurations. Do I need bipole/dipole? Do they go on the sides? Back? Both? Other? I need some help on speaker selection/configuration please! Model #'s welcome. Thanks!

Well if it were me I would use the bi polar surrounds for the rears and the sides. Some people like the bi polars for the sides and then use direct for the rears. If you have a large room I suggest bi poles all the ways around for a uniform sound

Hey do you guys think that the mythos one towers would sound good with a c/l/r 2002 and a pair of bp2xs? The drivers are the same size, so I think they will...opinions please

**07-17-08, 02:15 AM**

i own a set of the 7006 and i love them, i origanally had bought the bookshelfs because of money issues, although i liked them i had the oppourtunity to upgrade to the towers, i am so impressed by he bass reproduction, i dropped the jbl sub i was using. so anyone that is wondering, depending on the room you dont need a sub with these speakers, they do great with movie watching. but i am also impressed with how they do on music, of course the rap and rock sounds good, but my concern was anyhing really acoustic, or meant to be clean since i work at best buy i was being guided to buy the vienna's but the def techs were pretty clean, bass doesnt over power. all in all great speakers for my settup and for anyone looking for great speakers.

**07-17-08, 02:19 AM**

yes definitve has the same sound out of almost all speakers. the mythos are just not there power line, they a little cleaner, allot less bass. you should be good.

**acommonsoul** · **07-24-08, 02:15 AM**

Thanks Stack.... I have decided to order the BP8Bs due to the bipolar design. I already have a good powerful sub so I don't need the added ones in the other tower lines.

So my DefTech PowerField 1500 subwoofer has decided to quit on me after more years than I care to remember. It still makes a slight thump sound when powered on/off, but nothing comes out when music/movies are playing. I ran a test with a CD player connected directly to the low level inputs. Nothing. Next test will be to unhook the amp from the driver, connect the driver directly to my receiver's speaker outs and see if there's any sound. I fear it's the amp. Hope DT has a spare laying around. Otherwise...well, I'm just glad my Infinity Intermezzo IL60s have built in powered bass (but not deep enough even at 25Hz, no not at all). Maybe my insurance co. will buy me a new SVS. After all, this occurred during a thunderstorm where my Infinity Overture 3s failed as well as my Dish satellite receiver.

Hello

i bought a set on Mirage Omnisats with a 10" sub.
They are ed by my Pioneer AV amp.

WOW, the sound sucks!
Too much highes. i do regret the purchase. i should've bought normal speakers.. anyway, I am leaning to DefTech now

The system is used 50/50 for HT and general music. ( i have a seperate HiFi stack for serious music listening) I do play a lot of DVD concerts (heavy metal) on my HT rig and music MUST sound good.

I would be comfortable spending US1.5k for a 5.1 rig speaker set up.

Any advise would be appreciated

Which onmisats did you get? Too much highs should be something you should be able to fix by eq. However, if you are looking for a deeper sound. You will not be disappointed with Def Techs.

What receiver do you have? You will need some power to push some good def techs.

$1500 would be a bit tight of a budget to get all Definitive Techs for the full 5.1. The cheapest setup I would recommend really would be a little over $1800.

Fronts- Definitive Technology - BP-7006 -Way Floorstanding Speaker with Built-in Subwoofer $649 Each
Rears- Definitive Technology - ProMonitor 800 4-1/2" Bookshelf Speaker $149 Each
Center- Definitive Technology - ProCenter 1000 4-1/2" Center-Channel Speaker $219

This is with no LFE subwoofer, but you can split the LFE and run it to the built in woofers on the towers. They pack quite a punch. To add a Def Tech woofer would be at least another $400 for the Pro Sub 800.

You could get the entry level regular towers for front, the BP6b's at $399, and then add in the subwoofer, giving you ($400+$400+$300+$219+$400) $1719.. but you would be much better off with the supertowers and no separate LFE woofer.
