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.

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

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.

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 are good surround side speakers. They have a decent range of sounds they can create, and for the price they work well. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for surround rear, as they have a relatively controlled dispersion range. Still, very good speakers for the price.

I mounted these to my wall. After connecting and setting the direction I wanted. They were the perfect compliment to my surround sound system. Have great clarity and punch when needed. The wife liked the small size as to not take up much wall space. Highly recommend.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

I was looking for a surround set and ending up piecing it out. So glad I did. Very impressed with the sound quality. Movies to music it all sounds great. Very clear high and good mids. I would compare to bose without hesitation. Very impressed

I read somewhere that these match well with the ProCenter 1000, which I would totally agree. Sound amazing with movies or music in a large room. Bought the white ones, which look really nice and go great with white crown molding.
This review is from Definitive Technology - ProMonitor 800 4-1/2" Bookshelf Speakers (Each) - White

I am using these speakers as rear speakers with DefTech 1000 series front and center speakers. They work very well and are not overpowering as they are placed near where we sit.
The sound is crisp and clear through them with no distortion.
