Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked up a pair of these at a local hi-fi shop during a big sale for a bit under a grand. They were the floor demo pair, but on inspection, looked perfect. The review reflects that these speakers had adequate burn in since they had been used for demo purposes before my purchase.
In short, great deal for the money. Monster bass that's adjustable (important!) due to the 300 watt powered sub in the side of each speaker. DefTech also uses dual passive radiators, helping the powered woofer to distribute more pressure in the room. Properly dialed in, the bass response is deep and full across the spectrum (no one note bass here!), and sacrifices in the area of bass control and immediacy. A bit sluggish, but tonally accurate and warm. I prefer depth of response in my casual listening over accuracy of timing. I have never been able to achieve both for less than a few thousand dollars, and there are few speakers at that price point which do. Gallo Reference 3.1s and Von Schweikert VR4-JRs come to mind as exceptional examples, but at a minimum of 3 times the price!
The bipolar nature of the speaker makes for lots of arguments. :-/ Anyhoo, it also makes them sound big, really big which is a positive in my book. You sacrifice the last word (ok, maybe the last 2 or 3 words...) in clarity, precision, and ultimate soundstage accuracy. But you're rewarded with a forgiving sound that has thud, slam and sizzle. Especially with the volume up.
I was in search of a full range speaker for less than a grand. Not an easy situation to resolve... I was wary of Def Tech as many audiophiles poopoo the brand, but I have to say I'm very impressed. 4 solid stars.
