    These speakers can handle alot of power and the sound is beautiful and amazing in all types of music. But you better live out in the sticks if you decided to crank them cause the cops Will show up. Each speaker has built in amps and subwoofers. They also have speakers on top to bounce sound off the ceiling toward you for surround sound.But this specific is in no longer production and are all sold out. So you have to look for it used. Best Buy paid 1000 each for them new. Other wise look for the new model Definitive Technology speakers.

    Amazing Sound - Questionable Longevity

    First off - these speakers sound amazing. I am not an audiophile, but I was going between purchasing some floor standing speakers and then adding (2) subwoofers, or just purchasing these towers with the integrated subs. I went to BBY and listened to all the different independent subwoofers in the store, and while they were "okay", none of the options blew me away. Then I went into the room with the Def Tech speakers, and we watched the same movie clip with the BP9080x tower speakers, and the decision was made instantly. The subs sounded signifcantly deeper, as well as more balanced than any of the individual subwoofers, and the comparison was not even close. The Def Techs sound 2X better, easy. I pulled the trigger, and took them home. Set them up into my home theater, and they sound amazing. The bass is off the charts, to the point that I get in trouble each time I from the neighbor when I watch an action movie, as it shakes their entire wall of their house! I have the subs at 20%, but if you crank them to 40% (or 50% if you're crazy), they will seriously shake your entire house! I cannot believe the amount of bass these things kick out. Now the bad... The automatic turn on of the subwoofer amplifiers are a horrible idea. When i turn on a movie, the subs won't turn on unless there is a powerful enough signal, I have to turn the volume up to a level where it recognizes the bass, then sometimes 1, sometimes both of the subs will come on. Then about 2 seconds after the subs turn on, a big "THUMP" happens EVERY TIME! The only way to avoid this that I've found is to have a separate surge protector with only the towers hooked up to it, and then power the surge protector on before every movie. This turns the subs on with no signal, prevent the big "thump" noise. Then, after watching a movie, the subs remain on for about 10-15 minutes, but when the amps turn off, the big "Thump" occurs again. It is so distasteful that I stopped using the speakers for half a year because it sounds so bad. I called Def Tech and told them the issue, but they wouldn't even hear me out - they simply sent me a new amplifier in the mail and said that will fix the issue. NOTE - both towers do this, so I will have to write Def Tech back and request another amp, one for each tower to fix this issue (if this truly is the problem). If it is the problem, what are the chances both towers would be defective? I purchased the center speaker as well, the CS9080, and that speaker has some issues occurring as well, so I'm losing faith in Def Tech's quality. The sound is amazing, but not sure they are using quality parts, or the sourcing partners have some serious quality control issues. If I were to go back in time, despite the Def Techs sounding incredible (from a bass perspective), I think I'd avoid getting integrated subwoofers, and just get a pair of quality KEF Q-series, or some nice B&W's, and then pair with a couple SVS subwoofers and call it a day. Non-powered speakers should last FOREVER, so by removing the weak link (amplifier in integrated sub), you remove the one potential issue you could have. I have a full Def Tech setup, BP9080x towers, CS9080 center, and the 9080 surrounds, and they sound great, but for all the stress they've caused me with quality issues, I'd avoid.

    I initially bought these speakers because they were discounted, but after experiencing their sound quality, I'd willingly buy them at their regular price. I'm employing the 9060 model for surround and back sound, with the Goldenear references catering for the front three. The 9060 units are linked to both the XPA 6 GEN 3 and the Anthem AVM 90.

    Alright, being a proud owner of a pair of high end bookshelf speakers,( AR-11), which boast the best quality bass reproduction for it's time, (mid- 70's) I was sceptical about a set of towers replacing and out performing them. I got the usual demonstration in the listening room at the Magnolia section of the store and was impressed enough to purchase a pair. Originally planned to have these in my bedroom but on a whim I moved them to my living room while moving my AR's into the bedroom. The 9020's have soared in the living room, you can see how far apart they are in the photo, but clarity, separation, and excellent bass response are mine. So much so when playing CD's, Streamer, analog phono, or xbox I have to limit their use to when my neighbor isn't home or is at work. These are more than capable of absorbing power from that Carver 2000 reciever with the 200 watt per channel amplifier. I just finished listening to Genesis and Tears For Fears and have marveled at how a self powered sub-woofer with an 8-inch driver can outperform the 12 inch drivers in the AR's but it does. Wether listening to music or soundtracks in Blu Ray or HD Tv, sound reproduction is outstanding. And I bought the smaller towers not the larger ones.

    Very powerful tower floor standing speaker. It has built-in powered Subwoofer which gives you enough bass. You may not need another Subwoofer anymore. Tried several music on this pair BP9060s, they are soooo good! Love this DT BP9060.

    I’m so glad I purchased these speakers! The sound is clear, crisp and concise. I’d like to thank Keith & Michael from Geek Squad crew who did a phenomenal job in hooking up my sound system with these speakers. I am enjoying my movies & music more now. I definitely recommend this product & the crew who installed them. Best Buy service is top notch for me. Thanks!

    I bought a 75" QLED Samsung TV and bought these tower speakers to go with it. These speakers give you that theater sound for movies, sports, video games, and TV but then give you that club sound and concert sound for music. I hear no distortion when I crank up the volume. I have to disagree with other reviews and say that a subwoofer is needed with these to create the perfect sound overall. The ATMOS speakers that attach to the top are worth every penny and a must have item to pair with these towers.

    I strongly recommend D.T home theater, I configure the BP9060 series as front channel, center channel and surround channel, rear surround is SR9040 and 4 AJ90 Dolby atmos channel, subwoofer is D.T's Descend DN10, Since BP9060 has a built-in 300 watt subwoofer, this is equivalent to 7.5.4 for me. No matter listening to music or watching movies or playing games, the effect is very impressive!

    Best speakers I've ever had. I've paired these with DT surround and center speakers. The movie theater I've been trying to build. They stand tall and have all the bass you need. I put the top speakers on and couldn't ask for more.

    Very nice good quality sounds, I love the look it is resilient, people love it. The other thing what I like about the speaker built-in subwoofer which is I don’t have to add products sitting next to my TV I don’t like the look and it also takes extra space.

    I got these speakers unheard I just wanted decent speakers with the built-in subwoofer and these are recommended to me. All I can say is wow it filled the room with Sound and Bass and you really can't tell where it's coming from it's amazing. I also purchased the atmos add-on modules and I am really loving it so far
