What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?

Anyone?

Don't know those speakers. I used to own the Mythos ST a few years back. Philes think little of the brand or their performance. Thus your lack of responses. If you like them that is all that matters.enjoy!

Wow really? Well thanks for your honest reply Foster_9. That sucks.

Its sad if its a matter of name brand and not its merits if its being panned. Im really wondering what would be an upgrade because as I said Im a budding audiophile and really want to refine my ears not my ego. I hate the snob factor. Just want honest opinions based on fact not emotional attachment to a name brand. Oh well, I guess you cant get away from peoples need to feel superior with silly things like this. You get tons of this on car forums lol. Really takes away from the joy of the hobby if you let it get to you.

Oh well, I guess Ill have to find a high end store in Manhattan and go listen for myself.

I have not heard your particular model, and its been a while since I heard ANY Definitive Technology speaker, but, the speakers I did hear sounded very good for the money.

It is also not correct that all audiophiles shun the brand. The high end magazine The Absolute Sound gave one of their tall floorstanding models a rave review and it is regularly listed among their recommended components.

I wouldn't worry too much about what others think.

Thanks Larryi. Im not too worried about others irrational opinions. Its the honest, non biased opinions from audiophiles with properly tuned ears that Im looking for. Now I know that may mean the XTR's are garbage and Im good with hearing that but at least I was looking for some constructive criticism and maybe being pointed in a better direction. Isnt that what a forum is all about?

Thanks for the info on the magazine. Ill look it up and see what their recomendations are.
