A friend of mine owns these speakers... I'm amazed at how warm they sound for a DefTech product. I had to incorporate a tube Cayin preamp and Tara Labs interconnect to reduce the brightness of my BP9060. It's pleasantly surprising how musical they sound, more akin to a music setup rather than a home theater. I'm genuinely curious because, in my previous encounters with DefTech, I never experienced good imaging, even my SM65 had difficulty blending seamlessly. Hopefully, this particular model performs better in that regard.

Any idea if these pair nicely with a CS8040 or other previous-gen centers?


I know you can usually mix and match generations (and am using the CS 8040 with my SM55's right now) but these seem like they may not be timbre-matched at all anymore?

Agree. I still tried to figure it out. About to pull the trigger when it was 1099, then it dropped to 999, now is 849. Can it be that bad?

The RP8000F II (new version) might probably be better overall but it's more expensive.

No idea about these particular Def techs, but I loved my BP2000's. They sounded great and created a nice soundstage, but they needed real power to sing. My 110wpc Denon receiver just didn't cut it. I used an adcom 300wpc amp to power them, and the denon to power the center and rears. The downside was they were huge, and because of this, when we moved all the Def tech speakers stayed with the home theater at the old house.
