Gon bonkers with def tech...help..

Currently using these for a 70/30 ht/music set up. 7004 towers, 2 sets of bps 2x for surrounds, 2300 clr center and super cube II. I have received some great info on the gon re speaker adjust, bass mgtmnt, sound staging etc. Since my initial set up and not knowing much, i have used the info and noticed great improvement in overall dynamics and sound quality.

Here is my question. I have noticed that, well, many Goners consider these more like a double cheese burger at mcdonalds than a steak at Mortons. NOW, its starting to get in my head. Am i missing out big time with these speakers? Did my local audio guy totally point me in the wrong direction?? Is it their design that Goners dont like or just the sound in general? I did spend $4200 for this set up, not alot of $$ to most but alot to me, so i mean they cant be that bad right? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

How does it sound to you ?

If you are happy with it, then that is all that matters.

Keep what you currently have and maybe later on down the road you can upgrade to something else, but for now at least you have a starting point.

The steak will cost you many thousands more, do you not like the sound?

The audio dealer probably is pushing that line of speaker. If you can find a dealer that picks what they like to sell, you'll have a better shot at getting something that is a great value.

Yea if you are at 70/30 HT heavy, then the DEFS are a great choice, if music were the biggest deal that might be a diffrent road but as it is I think you got a great thing goin for you...dont sweat the small stuff ENJOY MATERIAL!

Muzikat and SoGood are totally correct ... if you enjoy what you're hearing, give up on the doubt stuff. There will ALWAYS be something better, whether because of a cable, an outlet, an amp or speakers ... this game is NEVER over. If you get a thrill from what you're hearing, sit back and enjoy it.

Dzigon, Muzikat is spot on. I can't tell you how many times someone has told me that I was just foolish using certain speakers or amps or cables or... You get the idea. Don't let anyone talk you into or out of what you like. Even now after years of this crazy hobby, my favorite artist is Willie Nelson. Now tell me how many Audiophiles will say that with pride. This is a great forum to get ideas, not absolute answers. Have fun and spend more time listening to music instead of advise.
