ht speaker challenge


I currently have def tech 7002 w powered subs along with 2 def tech super cube II's. The biggest problem i had in the beginning was getting the internal subs to blend with the super cubes II. There is a phase control on the super cubes but was still tricky. Given the cost for my entire speaker set up( 7.1 ht approx 5k) I am blown away by the soundstage that i now have. I am aware they aren't considered audiophile speakers, but if someone wants to get into hometheater ( myself 80% ht 20% music) these are a no lose purchase. I am lucky enough to have a wife who allowed me to use our finished basement for a dedicated ht set up. I will actually go out on the limb and challenge anyone to compare "cost to overall sound" and see if they can come close. I think the internal subs in the def techs are what makes them the "home theater speaker deal of the century"....Just my 2 cents...

d edwards,

great system. I must have been in a bad mood the day i posted this. Like you said, i didnt read an article or listen to anyone on the gon when i purchased my speakers. The ears were my only influence. I think Def tech gets one one the worst bashings of any speaker out there. I know they are not a "music listening" speaker but for ht they are killer.

My room is 16 x 28 and luckily i have the ability of keeping the mains 3ft off the wall. Thats the biggest key with the bipoles, room to breath. Believe me when i say it took 3 months to figure out the optimum placement. Spl, graphing the room, sub placement and phase settings, etc,etc,etc. I think my initial main goal of getting the "going to the movies" experience has been achieved.

I guess i was sticking up for all the Def tech owners of the free world!!

Funny you mention the B&K ref 50. I auditioned one a few weeks ago. I am looking to demo it on my system to see if its worth the upgrade.
