Gon bonkers with def tech...help..

Dude, if you like those Def Techs you ain't gonna beat 'em for the price you paid.

A lot of people on here are of like mind when it comes to components. Just because they post either negatively about your line of speakers or gush over some other brand name doesn't mean you would feel the same even if you had identical listening experiences to theirs.

Here's a little story that will make you smile and turn back to your Def Techs. Although I don't have my HT system listed here, it consists of a Denon AVR-3300 receiver, 4 Infinity RS-3 bookshelf speakers, an Infinity CC-3 center, and a Velodyne CT-120 sub. All are over 5 years old, are long since out of production, and if one were patient enough to find them on the 'net he could buy the entire system for just over $1k. I know it's not the best out there, but it keeps me happy and engrossed in movies and TV. Suffice it to say, my HT isn't going anywhere for several more years.

Sorry to cut this short, but I hear a movie calling my name...

I use the top line BP 7000's in 2 channel. I'm still grappling with them to see if they will ultimately be to my liking for music. But you did fine for HT with a little music. Def Techs are big bang for your buck speakers.

OK, I'm late, but I would like to chime in. I just sold my old system, because I didn't have the space to enjoy it: Maggie 3.6R's, Innersound Amp, Anthem Surround Pre McIntosh 2 channel pre, Velodyne DD12 sub, modified reference disk player, and for a short time, a Clearaudio Solution turntable. I replaced with a Denon reciever and Def Tech 7004's with a 2500 CLR center. Since all have a powered sub, I didn't get a sub, and didn't need alot of power out of my front end, which is now a Denon reciever. Did the old system sound better? Without question. Did it sound 600% better (cost difference)? No. Moving up in audio, I have learned, is about the marginal changes, not really about quantum leaps.

I really have loved the Def Techs. I am actually a little surprised. I am impressed enough, that I will prob have my Denon modified, and buy a seperate power amp to see if I can get a little more out of them.

Enjoy, they are a very nice, complete speaker, with a great lower end, and an excellent soundstage.

macdadtexas,

When i first finished my room and set up, i was running everything from my Yamaha. I was pleased or so i thought. Then I found the Gon and puchased an Adcom 7607 7ch amp and some Taralab interconnects(hey, for $90 i think they sound great for now. Yamaha has good bass mgt system so i set bass out to the mains and sub(def tech super cube II) and crossed over at 90. HUGE, HUGO difference...Soundstaging is dramatically better. I know the Yamaha as a pre/pro isnt even low end for most Goners but I can honestly say there are no changes coming down the pipe for quite some time. This was a case where upgrading intelligently( Adcom $675 on the gon)actually gave me a great, great, great, return on my investment

Thanks for the response, I am pleased to see that someone else actually owns and enjoys these speakers.
