- Peak Power Handling: 150 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 57 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 30 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

A: These speakers require an amplifier to power them so they are not directly compatible with soundbars.
A: Yes. I have mine hooked to my Dennon receiver and it is great for music.
A: I'm using the PERLESMITH Adjustable Height Speaker Stands (Model: PSSS1). They are inexpensive at less than $35 for a pair on Amazom. They are great. I just took off the speaker's bottom plastic stand and used the same screw to mount them on the Perlesmith stands.
A: Hello, the ProMonitor 800 will produce wonderful surround sound. Set speakers to small at 100HZ. Options to consider are the ProMonitor 1000 set to small at 80HZ or the SR9040 for a wider surround dispersion.
A: This measures 4.75 x 5 x 8.38 inches.
Q: Can these speakers hang from a wall? Can the legs me removed if they are hung?
A: Hello, We do offer wall mounts for these speakers that are called the ProMount 80 and the ProMount 90 which can be found either through Best Buy or our own website. The legs can be removed by removing a screw on the bottom and using the included cap to cover the screw port.
Q: Is this a good speaker to pair with my new Audiotechnica LP60X record player?
A: I am confident that the ProMonitor 800 speakers will pair nicely with the LP60X. However, the DT ProMonitor 800 speakers are passive and require an amplifier to function.
Q: What connectors does this type of horns use as it is called? can you help me?
A: Hi Greisy, The connector type for this speaker is going to be a choice of 4mm banana plugs, 2mm banana plugs, or bare wire. Spade connector options are limited because of the tight space allocated around the speaker binding posts.

Sounds great
I currently have a Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 setup using a Denon AVR X4300 receiver. Previous to these I was using the procinema 600 speakers in the front and I thought they sounded good. I moved the 600s to be front height speakers and now these 800s are the main front. What a difference these speakers make. They difference was almost night and day. The mids and highs sounded more vibrant. I'm thinking the smaller 600s were not matching the frequency cut over of the sub as I wasnt using the sub the came with the 600s. I would definitely recommend these for those of you who need smaller speakers.

Performance is everything
Def tech 800 speakers sound outstanding for its size. They are small, yet detailed and powerful. I use them for surround height channels. I've paired up with 5.1 Canton speakers. These speakers pack quite the weight at 4 pounds each, which is what you expect to spend on great quality. Capable producing relatively high sensitivity of 89 decibels and delivering up to 150 watts per channel I have the perfect set of entry-level home theater speakers. Performance is everything! Buy these and you're not going to regret it.
