Are Def techs 7000 series real competitors?
I see you haven't received any responses. That's no surprise to me. Not many audiophiles have any appreciation for the Def Techs as music speakers. As a Def Tech BP 7000 owner I would say that they are good in 2 channel. But anyone reading this wo...

I had an MA6900 for 6 months but couldn't get it to sound pleasing even after changing sources cables etc. It was beautiful and the build quality was outstanding. But, I sold it here and the new owner sold it within 2 months; said it was 2 dimensi...

I have been a fan since an ex-girlfriend played this CD for me back in '97 (it ended up in my collection). Her "Best Of" in my opinion will remain the best representative collection of Sade's music you can buy. (the selected songs are great) If yo...

Gon bonkers with def tech...help..
I use the top line BP 7000's in 2 channel. I'm still grappling with them to see if they will ultimately be to my liking for music. But you did fine for HT with a little music. Def Techs are big bang for your buck speakers. 
Shunyata Hydra 4 vs PS Audio UPC 200
