    This set of speakers completed an upgrade to my HT. I'm glad I decided to go with this set over the 1000's, as they would have been to big. The ProMonitor 800 pair nicely with the ProMonitor 1000, you can't go wrong with this set of speakers. I was skeptical at first but after much research I am very pleased with this purchase. Hope this helps, good luck and happy shopping.

    I bought these along with a Polk subwoofer to replace my 35 year old system including a pair of Klipsch kg4's. I never thought I would find something that would sound like what I had, but I think I did. As small as they are, combined with the subwoofer, they sound great.

    Placed properly where the planar woofer can resonate the low end with great high dynamic sound speakers are efficient creating a good sound stage for their size

    Initially, I wanted a pair of Bowers & Wilkins book shelf speakers, but I’m already using Def Tech speakers in other positions - and the Bestbuy rep advised not to mix. These Def Tech book shelf speakers sound great. The audio is clear and music tone is crisp. I didn’t give 5 stars because after listening to the Bowers & Wilkins, I was able to detect a very slight difference - in favor of B&W. However, I do highly recommend the Def Tech Pro Monitor 800.

    Am loving the experience. The speakers are small and easily mounted on the wall. And they create very nice surround sound experience. I am very happy with this purchase.

    I had an opportunity to add rear speakers to my A/V setup. I wanted a decent full range speaker and after listening at Magnolia these sounded like they'd fit the bill. This proved to be the case. I'm very happy with them, used in conjunction with a Definitive Tech Sound bar and wireless sub-woofer

    Add two of these to my existing DT 600 set and couldn't be happier! Using them a L & R fronts and moved the 600's to "Height" speakers for Atmos. Really filled out the sound and work much better for stereo. Got them on sale, so it was a no brainer.

    These blew away my previous surround speakers. They can be used as bookshelf speakers but I have them as my surrounds hanging from the ceiling. Before I had these my surround was always very faint but now my system feel very well balanced.

    Given their small size, these speakers produce great sound. I was especially attracted to the crisp highs the speakers offer.

    These little speakers have a very good sound but I think they would sound best in a smaller room than I am using them in. Good low, mid, and high ranges!

    These speakers were a great upgrade from what I currently have and match up with my DT center channel and subwoofer. Overall very pleased with everything from DT thus far. The DT wall mounts are great as well.

    I bought these to finish off my deftec system. I use these as my surrounds and they sound great. Even as an entry level speaker for def tec, they are pricy for surrounds, but i feel with home audio equipment, you get what you pay for.

    I wanted small speakers for the top of an entertainment center. These speakes are perfect. They have very clear and natural sound. Together with a definitive technology center channel they make a great living room speaker system.

    I was worried these would be too small to fill a large room with surround sound, but so far they have handled everything my system has thrown at them. I just used my tuner's app to add a few db's to them as they are in a room with a 12 ft vaulted ceiling... Hung at 9ft due to room/wall configuration. Wish the mounting bracket had a hole or slot for better concealment of the speaker wire. Not terrible, but not prefect either.

    I now own 6 of these speakers. 4 of them are used as frunt and rear surround speakers. The other 2 are in a zone 2 setup near the main room These speakers are one of the best you can get. A best buy worker turned me onto Definitive Technology about 6 years agoe and I have never looked back. Also if you call Definitive Technology up for help they are very helpful, and they are in the us out in California.

    My use for these speakers is fairly limited as they are being used as the 7th channel in a 7.1 surround system. For what they do I have NO complaints but at the same time cannot give them a full 5 stars as they're not used for critical music listening as I would do with my BP2002's. Overall a great experience for the price and no complaints. Well built and they do sound good.
