I auditioned the whole line of Bipolar Super Tower 8000-series speakers before buying. I sampled different source music and video at three separate Best Buy locations. I was duly impressed by all of the speakers, but there was a difference with the BP8020ST towers that have 150watt subs built in and the 8040 and 8060 towers that have 300watt subs. The difference was dramatic, not taking anything away from the 8020s. Since I was buying open box speakers, I decided to go for broke, as they say, and get the 8060s. Boy was I glad I did! I recently purchased a new Onkyo 170watt/channel amp and it has the power to drive these speakers to wondrous heights, sonically speaking. The bass output is strong, and the midrange and highs from the other speakers are absolutely amazing with the right source. I also bought a new DVD player just so I could play CDs and DVDs at their best representation. I spent at least 2 days listening to music and watching movies after I set them up in my living room. At this point I don't feel there is a need for a separate subwoofer but I am definitely going to pair these with the ProMonitor 1000 rear surround speakers, also from Definitive Technology. At the same time I bought the towers I also got the CS8060HD Center Channel speaker, which has a 150watt driver and sounds amazing paired with these towers. Once I get the rear surrounds set up I will be in heaven, I'm sure!

I have been a def tech fan and customer for over 20 years. My first def tech speakers were a pair of BP3000TL's. They were huge and heavy at over 130 LBs each. Back in 1995 they were an audiophile's dream. I also have a pair of 8020ST's currently in use. The 8060's are the front towers of my HT system along with an 8060 center channel and a pair of SR-8040BP's in the rear. The 8060 speakers have an excellent sound stage and the imaging is phenomenal. What I like best is that these speakers are equally adept for music and HT. I scooped these up when they were on sale for 699.00 each but even at 999.00 each they are a terrific value. def tech's customer support is excellent as well.

We purchased these speakers for our home theater we are putting in our basement. We liked the idea of not needing a separate sub-woofer, but were a little skeptical about them being sufficient. We had nothing to worry about. Our theater isn't finished yet, so to test we hooked them up to our system in our family room, turned up the volume, and started playing 'The Polar Express', which just happened to be in the player at the time. We had the volume up at a level much higher than we would normally watch a movie and the speakers sounded great. They were very clear and plenty loud and the base seemed sufficient. Then we came to the part in the movie where the train pulls up in front of the house. Let me tell you, it shook our house. Literally. Our kids came down from upstairs wondering what was happening. It sounded like the train was in our house. We didn't just hear the train, we felt it. These speakers are awesome! Now we just have to hope our theater soundproofing is sufficient -- a problem I'm more than happy to have to deal with. ;-)
