Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are amazing. The sound quality is clear and crisp. I purchased these to add to my existing DT 5.1 system. I ended up using them to replace my rears and move my rears to mids. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they don’t allow for wall mounts, you either place them on shelf stands or you can hang them on a wall using a screw. It worked for me using a screw but the option should be there given the price.

Perfection!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a wide nicely balanced rear or side surround this is it!! Especially at the discontinued price! Definitive have a fairly neutral sound so they blend well with many different brands.

Does what it advertises
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Added this as a third back channel to my 5.1 to make it a 6.1 setup. Disperses sound very well making the back channels not so directional. It could use some more varieties of mounting instead of just a slot for a hanger hook.

Exceptional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my Boston Acoustic speakers with a modern pair of surrounds knowing there’d be a difference; major, ear opening and mind blowing. Sound seems to fill the entire back of the room from all directions. Scary movies scare me now :/

Great sound, lame mounting option
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've added these to my BP-9080x towers and SC-9040 center channel. The speakers are great, but the keyhole is the only mounting option, which is inexcusably lame for the price and DT's self image. The keyhole could have been sized to fit standard 1/4" 20 thread mounting bolts... but it wasn't. So if you are switching out previously-installed speakers and hope to reuse old mounts that use 1/4" bolts, you'll have a project on your hands. Really DT? Really? The solution I came up with in order to use my 1/4" bolt mounts was to sandwich the keyhole mounting plate between two washers and nuts. This requires one washer and nut to be on the inside the speaker, which is easy enough to do by unscrewing the keyhole mounting plate from the speaker, inserting the mounting bolt through the keyhole plate, add a washer and skinny bolt to the end of the bolt, and then re-screwing the keyhole plate onto the speaker. (Yes, if you got this far and didn't realize the washer and nut for the outside of the keyhole plate needed to be threaded onto the mounting bolt first (before the keyhole plate), then you and I will have a shared experience.)
