Gon bonkers with def tech...help..

I agree with the Muzikat's statement that recommendeds not paying too much attention to what people here think about your choice. If you are happy, does it really matter?

For the record though, I think for your needs you did just fine. I recommend enjoying your speakers and filtering out the outside "noise," so to speak.

Happy listening,

Yep, if movies are your thing, DT is a good choice. But for serious listening (to music that is), a resounding "I don't think so". That 30% of the time would have to be background listening from another room.

Dino stomps, explosions, and train crashes however, are superb....

To all,

Thanks for the feedback. I sat down last and sampled 10 dvds, from Saw to Polar Express(dont laugh, my dtr made me, plus i think its pretty neat) to Dave Gruisen, Star wars episode 1 etc.. Pure enjoyment.... The main reason for the post was mainly to see if the sound i am enjoying is actually HOW it should sound (HT). I listened to B&W's when i purchased my system with some of the same source material above and still went back to the def tech. I really liked the way the sound would wrap around the listening position. B&W seemed flat(imo). Now my big thing is DVD concerts. Ex. Eric Claptons "Crossroads" When Larry Carlton plays its like the entire band is in my basement. I can hear every 32nd note Steve Vai hits, trully amazing...When i put in a cd i do notice that there is a drop off in that quality. MAYBE i need to put some thought into how i can improve that...

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.
