Need to select a pair of main speakers for HT

I have to say that with good amplification the big Def Tech towers are a excellent theater speaker. Then try hooking them up to a premium amp and see why they get such good reviews.
Most people don't get to hear Def Techs with anything better than the mid fi at Best Buy, but they are actually an over-achieving speaker for the money. My 7004 towers can be run without the SVS sub and still hit seriously low notes when I don't want to blow out the windows!

Cheers,

Topmostaudio,

I would call them neutral & smooth overall. BTW, they have two 15" woofers per side, and no boom. If they did they would be long gone. I have about 300 hours on them and they are starting to really open up nice. Watched Iron Man II last night with them and WOW!! Talk about bringing the theater to you! I am 75% music 25% movies, so I consider them great for music only, but one of the few speakers that
can pull double duty with no sub needed. Although, I may add
one later just cause! :o)

You can read the review on the CLS on SoundStage (previous model to the XLS) and then read the review on Audio Revolution for the new XLS to give you more of an idea about these speakers.

And btw...these are new Cerwin Vegas, not older ones.

Athena f2s...Google reviews...these behave like a much more hi-end product..ck ck or eBay as they are discontinued...quality of bass rivals 2k speakers...ask stereophile!

Phasecorrect,
The F2 seems to be some intrigueing speakers. But I dont see any on Ebay. Amazon says it is not available. On Athena's website there is no mention of F2 as they are discontinued. Do you know any other source ?

Telescope_trade,
thanks for the info. I am glad to know that you are so much enjoying them!!! After all that enjoyment is priceless and that it is what counts.

Happy listening to all !!!!
