I currently have a Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 setup using a Denon AVR X4300 receiver. Previous to these I was using the procinema 600 speakers in the front and I thought they sounded good. I moved the 600s to be front height speakers and now these 800s are the main front. What a difference these speakers make. They difference was almost night and day. The mids and highs sounded more vibrant. I'm thinking the smaller 600s were not matching the frequency cut over of the sub as I wasnt using the sub the came with the 600s. I would definitely recommend these for those of you who need smaller speakers.

I walked into Best Buy to talk with a salesman about purchasing a Samsung curved sound bar for my new Samsung 65" 4K Smart Curved LED Ultra HDTV. His comment was that many people buy awesome TVs and then pair them with sound bars. His comment was that Samsung is not a speaker company. And that sound bars, in general, are pretty poor. After spening a lot of money on a great TV, it's worth completing the experience by purchasing a superior audio system. He brought me into the Magnolia demo room and played the Definitive Technology bipolar speakers. They sounded great. It turned out that the speakers were on sale for half off their original price. I bought two BP-8040ST towers along with the corresponding CS-8040 center speaker. I wanted to buy two matching surround speakers from the same family, but they were no longer available from anywhere at Best Buy. Instead, I purchased two PROSAT 800 surround speakers. The sound from the entire system is awesome. While the speakers, plus a Yamaha receiver, certainly cost more than a sound bar, the old adage holds true: you get what you pay for. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Definitive Technology speakers.

Great speakers for the money with the right receiver and sub. I upgraded my front speakers to the 800's and put the two front 600's in my bedroom and running a Zone2 set up. Nice quality and sound with a 5 year warranty! I'm pushing my surround sound with a Pioneer Elite VSX-90 receiver thru a 4k tv and it all looks and sounds great. Whoever gives the Definitive Technology bookshelf speakers a bad review has no idea what they're doing. (See pics)

I was lucky to find these for $99 each and am using them as rear surrounds. Do not let the small size fool you. These are top-quality speakers that provide beautiful, clear sound and pack a punch when called on.

Wow! I didn’t have a lot of room in my newly set up record room but I knew I had to have audiophile quality speakers for the warm, inviting reproduction of the sound of my vinyl collection. The guys inside Magnolia took the time to show me multiple speakers and brands and these were the clearest, cleanest, most sonically pleasing to my ear. And they are just the right size for a small room. They aren’t going to hit those really deep lows but that’s what you get a subwoofer for. These made the mids and highs ring out perfectly! Once I graduate from these it will be to a set of floor standing Def-Tech speakers, no doubt!

I've been a Definitive Tech speaker owner since the the early 1990's I've owned their floor standing speakers and larger subs in my past set up's, but in the last few years wanted those speaker boxes off my floor. I use my Definitive's mainly for my video room and movie watching. In the system I'm running SR9040 for L&R Surr. Procinema 80's L&R back channels and front height channels and my recently purchased ProMonitor 800'S for front L&R and rear L&R height channels, and three subs two 12" and one 8" of different make. No disappointments here. Great clean sounding speakers as always, and and handle the power great coming from my Marantz A/V Receiver. Match these speakers with either high end Definitive subs or other high end makes and you won't be disappointed. Plenty of sound and power handling. You don't always need big stuff to impress your friends. Give Definitive Technology Speakers a listen you'll be pleasantly surprised.

We needed to purchase these smaller front speakers for our surround sound because our TV is on a stand and we went with a bigger tv so there was not enough room for our older, larger speakers. These speakers are the perfect size and sound better than our older, larger ones. They are a bit pricey at $144 each, but the sound is incredible!

Love the sounds as they travel through theses speakers. Pricey but well worth the cost. I purchased 4 and the center speaker to match. Would do it all over again. Programs and music are more enjoyable!!

These sound very good for speakers of this size, and very clear. They are very small relative to the 4.5" drivers used which allows for easy placement with surface mounts. While they do not produce low frequencies very loudly, they have almost no distortion even at high volume.

Add two of these to my existing DT 600 set and couldn't be happier! Using them a L & R fronts and moved the 600's to "Height" speakers for Atmos. Really filled out the sound and work much better for stereo. Got them on sale, so it was a no brainer.

I was worried these would be too small to fill a large room with surround sound, but so far they have handled everything my system has thrown at them. I just used my tuner's app to add a few db's to them as they are in a room with a 12 ft vaulted ceiling... Hung at 9ft due to room/wall configuration. Wish the mounting bracket had a hole or slot for better concealment of the speaker wire. Not terrible, but not prefect either.

I bought these speakers to serve as rear surrounds in my 7.2 system. They are serving its purpose. The sound is very clear and I am getting the true immersive experience with Dolby Atmos source material.

My use for these speakers is fairly limited as they are being used as the 7th channel in a 7.1 surround system. For what they do I have NO complaints but at the same time cannot give them a full 5 stars as they're not used for critical music listening as I would do with my BP2002's. Overall a great experience for the price and no complaints. Well built and they do sound good.
