Amazing Sound - Questionable Longevity
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality3 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound quality, SpaceFirst off - these speakers sound amazing. I am not an audiophile, but I was going between purchasing some floor standing speakers and then adding (2) subwoofers, or just purchasing these towers with the integrated subs. I went to BBY and listened to all the different independent subwoofers in the store, and while they were "okay", none of the options blew me away. Then I went into the room with the Def Tech speakers, and we watched the same movie clip with the BP9080x tower speakers, and the decision was made instantly. The subs sounded signifcantly deeper, as well as more balanced than any of the individual subwoofers, and the comparison was not even close. The Def Techs sound 2X better, easy. I pulled the trigger, and took them home. Set them up into my home theater, and they sound amazing. The bass is off the charts, to the point that I get in trouble each time I from the neighbor when I watch an action movie, as it shakes their entire wall of their house! I have the subs at 20%, but if you crank them to 40% (or 50% if you're crazy), they will seriously shake your entire house! I cannot believe the amount of bass these things kick out. Now the bad... The automatic turn on of the subwoofer amplifiers are a horrible idea. When i turn on a movie, the subs won't turn on unless there is a powerful enough signal, I have to turn the volume up to a level where it recognizes the bass, then sometimes 1, sometimes both of the subs will come on. Then about 2 seconds after the subs turn on, a big "THUMP" happens EVERY TIME! The only way to avoid this that I've found is to have a separate surge protector with only the towers hooked up to it, and then power the surge protector on before every movie. This turns the subs on with no signal, prevent the big "thump" noise. Then, after watching a movie, the subs remain on for about 10-15 minutes, but when the amps turn off, the big "Thump" occurs again. It is so distasteful that I stopped using the speakers for half a year because it sounds so bad. I called Def Tech and told them the issue, but they wouldn't even hear me out - they simply sent me a new amplifier in the mail and said that will fix the issue. NOTE - both towers do this, so I will have to write Def Tech back and request another amp, one for each tower to fix this issue (if this truly is the problem). If it is the problem, what are the chances both towers would be defective? I purchased the center speaker as well, the CS9080, and that speaker has some issues occurring as well, so I'm losing faith in Def Tech's quality. The sound is amazing, but not sure they are using quality parts, or the sourcing partners have some serious quality control issues. If I were to go back in time, despite the Def Techs sounding incredible (from a bass perspective), I think I'd avoid getting integrated subwoofers, and just get a pair of quality KEF Q-series, or some nice B&W's, and then pair with a couple SVS subwoofers and call it a day. Non-powered speakers should last FOREVER, so by removing the weak link (amplifier in integrated sub), you remove the one potential issue you could have. I have a full Def Tech setup, BP9080x towers, CS9080 center, and the 9080 surrounds, and they sound great, but for all the stress they've caused me with quality issues, I'd avoid.

Great front towers speakers
|Posted .At first I was looking to install in-wall speakers but after testing the Definitive Technology towers versus in-wall speakers I was immediately convinced, the clear voice and deeper sound you get is outstanding, great product for the price.

Great speakers
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bass, Price, Sound qualityBought these to replace a sound bar and it’s definitely night and day difference. The intergrated subwoofer definitely adds substantial bass to home theater and making these more portable and flexible for systems that doesn’t require any separate subwoofer. Movies have an immersive sound stage and music plays clear. I have these setup with the CS 9060 and A90 atmos topper and it’s works perfect with my setup. I have these running in a 3.1.2 configuration and I am happily satisfied with the sound stage. These are bi pole speakers and will create a larger image to any room. I would recommend buying these if it’s on sale that way you can buy the atmos speaker to complete the setup. Great performance for the price.

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Price, Sound quality, SpaceThese are fine speakers at full price. But value wise on sale is the way to go. Can't imagine better sub 1k sound in a tower. Using the lfe connection though not the "recommended" option absolutely gives more than enough space to fill a good sized room.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound quality, Space, SubwooferHad these speakers for a little over a month now and they are absolutely amazing. I also purchased A90 height speakers for ATMOS and a DT CS9060 Center channel. Unbelievable combination. The built in subwoofers make the room rumble when watching movies with great sound effects. Streaming music sounds fantastic as well. Can't believe I waited so long to upgrade my house theater system. Well worth the investment.

Q: QuestionWould the 9080 line too powerful for a smaller room?
Asked by JCT.
- A:Answer Most likely; yes. You could turn the bass down (there's a control knob on the back panel), but then why get them in the first place? Definitive makes several smaller models. I have an older set that are the equivalent of the BP9040s in my home gym, and the bass is almost overpowering. - Shelby

Q: Questionare additional speaker wires connection in the back of the speaker needed for the Atmos part of the speaker BP9080x?
Asked by Hector.
- A:Answer Yes. There are two sets of speaker wire connections. The upper set of connections are the Atmos speakers also referred to as “height speakers” by some A/V receiver/amplifier manufacturers

Q: QuestionIs the silver base stand required for use? Trying to fit these in a smaller space in Living Room and the cabinet of speaker will fit, but base too wide. Thanks
Asked by CZ13.
This question was asked about the related product: Definitive Technology - BP-9060 High Performance Home Theater Tower Speaker with Integrated 10” Powered Subwoofer - Black- A:Answer In my opinion, YES. The bases provide a secure anchor. Without them, I would be worried about them tipping over when touched by a child or pet. My listening area is carpeted, and I also use the 'spiked' feet on the silver bases. They give me extra confidence against tipping.

Q: QuestionI live an apartment where I share the wall with my neighbor along which my TV is kept. Towers will go besides the TV. There is no one below me or on the side. Will this set up disturb my neighbor ? What is wattage of Subwoofer in the tower ?
Asked by SC.
- A:Answer You’ll have to be careful with them. The subwoofer amps, and there are two, are pretty strong. In my living room, they vibrate furniture that is 6-8 feet away from the speakers. However, the subwoofers are adjustable. You should be able to find a good compromise level for the base that won’t anger your neighbors and you can still enjoy the great sound of these speakers.

Q: QuestionHi. I'm Carlos from Brazil. Last year, I coudn't buy a pair of speakers by " definitive technology". Now, there are new rules of air companies in Brazil for luggages etc. So, I need a information about size of box and weight of each speaker. Thanks.
Asked by Carlos.
- A:Answer I'm not sure if this will help, but I took the information from Best Buy under the specifications area. The Speakers are 34.8 inches tall, 13 inches wide, 11 inches deep and weigh 37 lbs each. estimating the box size, I would guess that the boxes (2) would be about 35 to 36 inches tall by 15 to 16 inches in width, by 12 to 13 inches deep. I'm sure you could probably call Best Buy and have them email you the exact dimensions. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI have the BP-9080ST towers (insanity!) and am thinking that the CS9080, with its 255W powered sub, is overkill. Anybody pair a "lesser" center channel (say, the 9060 or 9040)? If so, did you regret it?
Asked by danbrockman.
- A:Answer Not overkill at all! I have four of these BP9080 tower speakers with a pair of SR9080 speakers and the CS9080 center speaker you mentioned. Movies, games, music, you name it, everything sounds insanely great! Totally worth the investment but watch for discounts!
Answered by Neilst3r
Q: QuestionHello, Currently looking at this 9080 line but with no previous experience in home audio world I was looking for any suggesting regarding which receiver you guys would recommend with theses speakers? Also is receiver all needed or receiver plus amp?
Asked by JF.
- A:Answer I purchased those speakers about 8 months ago. LOVE THEM. Great sound with a built in subwoofer. Mine are set up in a game room and I use mine strictly for music, not part of a home theater system with tv. After explaining to my Best Buy sales rep how I would be using my speakers, I went with recommendations of the Best Buy sales rep and paired the speakers to a Rotel A12 (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rotel-120w-2-0-ch-amplifier-black/5590306.p?skuId=5590306). Works beautifully for my needs; provides over the air radio, auxiliary cord input, USB input, and Bluetooth input. along with inputs from other desired sources (phono, cd, tape, etc.). As a side note, I explained that my primary "must have" for this sound system was that I want to not only hear the music, but I also wanted to go old school and FEEL that music thumping. The Rotel A12 powers these speakers beautifully without distortion (very minimal, if any) at the extreme higher volumes. Hope this helps.
