Some of the best speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speakers to finish off my sound system! Work wonderfully as my back surround speakers. Crisp and clean sound and getting them open box from Best Buy was a great value.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very nice little speakers with great sound quality. For petite speakers, we think they have an excellent big speaker sound quality. We did purchase stands to put them on since we didn’t have room on our TV stand - those along with a center speaker gave our TV a surround sound theater quality. Very satisfied.

One speaker sounded by better than my Sony stereo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guy in Magnolia played The Love Song by The Cure, Hotel California and Because covered by Elliot Smith. Let's just say after hearing that I walked out with a pair of these for my home theater. Watching Captain America The Winter Soldier with these bad boys on blew me away. I use these generally for movies and it's something I'll never regret buying.

Excellent Speakers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase these speaker to replace my Mirage Mx, they were good speakers but I was missing the mid range, which these speakers provide. Let me tell you for the prize and size these speakers provide an excellent sound from mid range to high. I purchase 6 of these for my 7.2 surround sound. They are not really big speakers but they produce a big sound, I mainly got them for surround and for music they sound OK. The built quality is excellent with nice glossy black finish. have them hooked up to a DENON 2312Ci at 80hz all around and with a DefTech Pro2000 as center. I decided to go with the Pro2000 due to the size of my room the 2000 are a inch bigger than the Pro1000CC and for 100 more was definitely worth it. BestBuy does not carry the Pro2000 you have to find elsewhere. These speakers worth every penny go to the Magnolia and check them out is what I did after researching online. For the wall mount Def Tech have their own pro mounts but the price too high I found the Omnipro 10.0 work the same and way cheaper and they go about 90 degrees, for my front speakers I use some other mount found online which swivel 180 and the speaker sits flat on the mount. For the center channel I used the Def Tech Pivot mount which it was about $20 and bring two mounts which is what you need for the Pro Centers. If your looking for small good speakers and at decent price don't go any further DeftTech is the way to go. I added some picture of the mounts. My current setup: Receiver: Denon 2312Ci Surround: Def Tech PM1000 Center Channel: Def Tech PC2000 Subs: 2 Mirage MX will replace 1 with Pro1000 Sub

Perfect speakers for my family room
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 20 years, I finally decided to retire my old Sony speakers and go for a new set. Settled on a pair of Definitive Technology 1000's for my front L/R pair and a pair of 800's for my surrounds. From the moment I plugged them in, I've been blown away. They have great range, are pretty compact and are amazingly reasonable for speakers you'll find in the Magnolia room. I honestly didn't realize how much I'd been missing with my old speakers. With these, I feel like certain frequencies, such as acoustic guitars, are much crisper and I can't wait to pick up a new 1000 center speaker to complete the set.

Q: QuestionDo these speakers come with speaker wire in the box or do I need to purchase that separately? Do I also need to purchase banana plugs? I plan to hook these up to my Denon AVR-X1000 receiver. Thanks!
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You need to purchase the speaker wire separately. They are great speakers!!
Answered by Cookie
Q: QuestionI would just like to confirm, the listed price is $249.98 (each). A pair would then cost $499.96. Is this correct?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer These speakers have been repriced at $180.00 per speaker. Rumor has it they are being phased out.

Q: QuestionWould these speakers be appropriate for a junior high gym? They would be used during practice time. They would not be used for pep rallies, assemblies, etc.
Asked by Kguid.

Answered by Marvin
Q: QuestionWhat is the maximum angle you can adjust the tweeters from horizontal? I am trying to use these as height speakers.
Asked by Mikey.
- A:Answer The tweeters are fixed in the speaker. You would have to angle the whole speaker rather than the tweeter by itself. They do have a wall mounting bracket that allows you to angle the speakers up/down/right/left. ProMount 90 Articulating Wall-Mount Brackets. I didn't see a spec that indicated the angle, but it looks like it is over 30 degrees at least - maybe 45. Check out the Definitive website it it isn't on the Best Buy one.

Q: QuestionMy intention is to place these speakers in my book case. There will be virtually no clearance in the rear of the speaker except for the wire connection. Will this work? What kind of rear clearance is recommended?
Asked by cycle2017.
- A:Answer Will work as long as you don't use banana clips.
Answered by RobinsonG
