“My friends and relatives,
and myself included, could not believe how a speaker, so slim and
slender, could produce such hard hitting, quality, low-end bass.”
My love for Definitive speakers hit me like a fresh relationship
in the springtime. Totally unexpected, and exhilarating at the same time.
I always caught myself reading the advertisements in magazines,
but, year after year, I'd put it in the back of my mind and tried not
to awaken those thoughts. Partly due to the fact that I never thought
about spending decent amounts of money on high-end gear. And also, I felt
like I'd be cheating on JBL.
The day came when I picked up my first Pioneer Elite DVD
player at AudioCraft, the local Hi-Fi shop. I saw the looming towers and
fell in love. I asked to listen to them and was blown away by the bass
emitted by them. They were the BP3000TLs.
The idea of a subwoofer in the towers is impressive. But,
personally, I didn't want to worry about an outlet for all speakers, and
then learned they had the non-powered tower series.
I did some research, read reviews, sent out emails, and
felt I was making the right move. The store only carries the Power Tower
series so I had to special order them. I chose the BP30s
for mains, and you have on your hands THE happiest customer on the planet!
My friends and relatives, and myself included, could not
believe how a speaker, so slim and slender, could produce such hard hitting,
quality, low-end bass. I didn't have the PF15TL+ yet, so I know it wasn't
a sub. And to top it off, the mids and highs just rolled off so smoothly
that I was in pure audio heaven.
I have been in this "Audio Heaven" for 2 years now, and I am happier now
then ever. I have the C/L/R2000 pulling center channel duties, and BPX
for surrounds. As I mentioned earlier, the PF15TL+ filled in for the LFE
channel and what I experience in my home theater cannot be described by
mere mortal words. I no longer need to tell people what to buy. They sit,
listen, and their jaw hits the floor. I let the speakers do the work for
me. Not many speakers can do that: convince an enthusiast within seconds.
Even my friends who thought I was insane for spending this much now own
Def Techs, and they still thank me! It is my turn to thank you.
You have a company that not only puts out products that
can't be matched in price or performance, but you honestly care about
your customers. You are the epitome of what all speaker companies should
strive to be. I honestly mean that. I will, for the rest of my life, purchase
only Definitive speakers and subwoofers. This you can count on. :)
*Note* I am buying the SuperCube I soon, as well
as adding another pair of BPXs to go with my new Elite
7.1 receiver. What you have accomplished with the new
SuperCubes is astonishing, to say the least. Keep it
up! Keep winning those Awards, and keep winning the
hearts of millions of Audiophiles across the world!
Happy Listening!
"These speakers will not
let you down. They just get better and better."
I purchased my BP8Bs in 1999. I originally
had them matched to my old Sony receiver with plain "lampcord" style speaker
cables, regular interconnects, etc. The BP8s sounded great at that point.
The past year I've upgraded my system to an Acurus A250 amplifier, Adcom
pre-amp, straightwire interconnects, and monster ZR-1 reference cables
(they're about 1/2-inch thick). Every upgrade to my system has been reflected
by the BP8Bs. They've allowed all the detail and power of the music being
played through my system to shine through. These speakers sound wonderful
with regular consumer electronics. But if you have a hankering to move
up into separates, quality amplification, interconnects, etc., these speakers
will not let you down. They just get better and better. I couldn't be
happier with my purchase. Thanks!
“The
BP10Bs sounded awesome and these [BP7002s] WOW!!!”
I have had a pair of BP10Bs
for about nine months now. I went to a local Hi Fi shop
today to listen to the BP7002s, just to
see what they were like. Definitive makes the most amazing
speakers on earth!! I can't believe what these sound like.
The BP10Bs sounded awesome and these WOW!!! Now if my wife
doesn't send me divorce papers when she sees that I purchased
these, I will be in awe for a long time to come. If you
come out with something that beats these, I'll need a place
to live and set them up! Thanks for the producing the BEST
speakers at an affordable price.
“No other speaker
design can produce the 3D sound 'image' that the Definitive
bipolar design can produce.”
It was a while back, I think it was 1992 or '93. I went
to several electronics stores looking for high-end audio products. I saw
Cerwin-Vega, Boston Acoustics, Bose and several other brands. I listened,
took notes, and read the reviews.
The only place in town that sold the truly quality equipment
was a place called Bjorn's. What I found there was a selection of equipment
that would make any audiophile grin. I was actually looking for a good
quality receiver at the time, and I found that a Sony ES series was moderately
priced and met my needs. The strangest thing I noticed was that in each
sound room they always seemed to use an "off-brand" speaker for demonstration
purposes. In this room full of very expensive speaker systems, including
all the big names, and several different designs, they had these strange
rectangular speakers attached to receivers and amplifiers costing thousands
of dollars. And they were sitting sideways? I asked why they had chosen
to use the cheapest speakers to demo the top-of-the-line equipment. Why
not use more expensive speakers? After the saleperson switched to a more
expensive speaker system, I learned why. The sound was actually better
from the strange looking sideways speakers with a price HALF THAT of most
of the systems in the room.
The speakers I heard that day were Definitive's BP20s.
I brought them home that day, and they are still the best investment I
ever made. I know the BP20s are no longer in production... I can't imagine
better sound than what the 20s can produce, but I'm an open minded person.
The biggest difference I noted with Definitive speakers
was the bipolar design. In the few months after purchasing my BP20s,
I noticed several other manufacturers producing systems attempting to
duplicate the bipolar design. No other speaker design can produce the
3D sound
"image" that the Definitive bipolar design can produce. The shape of the
speakers is also unusual and some people still ask what the "big black
things" are. When they find out, they want to hear them. When they hear
them, they are truly amazed, as I still am, 10 years after the purchase!
When I hear people at work talking about audio equipment
and they start dropping the "big names,"
I mention Definitive Technology. When they ask me about
the best speakers made, I say Definitive Technology. I don't even look
at other brands anymore. I requested some literature on the BP30, and
the 2000 and 3000 series systems. If these systems are the updated versions
of my BP20s, they are probably the best speakers available. The fact that
Definitive products are still reasonably priced makes it easy to choose
Definitive products.
“DOUBLE WOW and DOUBLE AWESOME!
I would never have a problem recommending any of these speakers!”
Have been very involved in Home Theater for close to 10
years now. While visiting a local Listening Post audio store, I heard
the Definitive Tech's for the very first time. WOW! Purchased two BP8s
as my front mains, a C1 center channel and two BP6s as
my surrounds. The surround sound was awesome! Fellow employees (I am a
middle school teacher) who came to visit could not believe what they were
hearing. I had to arrange home theater parties on weekends so they could
experience this new-found thrill for themselves.
I needed to have the DTS, DTS EX, new Digital Cable input,
Pro Logic 2, and the two new kids on the block: DVD-Audio and SACD. I
purchased the Pioneer Elite 45A Video/Audio/SACD Player which plays BOTH
of the new music formats. But the big upgrade was the new DENON AVR3803!
It would now support 7.1 Channels, and all the formats listed above. So
I revamped the speaker system: the original BP8s are still in front; the
C1 center in use also, 2 NEW BP8s for the back surround, and I moved the
older BP6s to the front area as "front effects" and added two NEW BP2Xs
as the new side surrounds that the DENON 7.1 configuaration permits. (My
latest purchases were made at Pat's Stereo Shop in Greensburg, PA. My
local Listening Post closed several years ago.)
DOUBLE WOW and DOUBLE AWESOME!
I have been to some of the new surround theaters, and in
high-end listening rooms in stereo stores, and NOTHING else comes close,
including the various Polk speakers they compare side by side. Thanks
for such WONDERFUL products!
I would never have a problem recommending any of these
speakers, as I quite frequently do. A number of people in my school district
refer to me as "The Home Theater Specialist."
I have owned a pair of BP8s for five years now. They still sound as good as when I first
brought them home, maybe better. I still stop at Audio Stores to check out new speakers,
but nothing comes close unless other Definitives are sold there.
"I am glad I finally found a speaker
that I am happy with."
Well, all I can say about my BP10s or the BP2000s
is this: "I will more than likely never purchase another
speaker, EVER. PERIOD." Wait, that's not entirely true, I'll probably purchase
the BP3000s. I would go into detail but I'd run out of room. Thanks for
making such a nice speaker, I was tired of shopping. I am glad I finally
found a speaker that I am happy with.
"My friends paid more for their speakers
and they're amazed at the beauty and better performance of my 2002 system!"
Hello there! I have the 2002 system matched with a Yamaha 2092 receiver setup in my theater room and
a pair of BP10s in the game room. My friends have other high-end speakers matched with the same receiver.
My friends paid more for their speakers and they're amazed at the beauty and better performance of
my 2002 system! DT, thanks for making me look good! I'm off to give them another demo!
I have owned Definitive Technology speakers ever since they came out. My original configuration consisted
of the BP20s L/R main, C/L/R1000 center, BP2s for the rear, and a Powerfield15 subwoofer. Recently I have
upgraded my system with a Parasound Amp (2205), Parasound AVC- 2500, and my rears to the BP10s.
I have always been in awe and sheer amazement of the sonic capabilities of the Definitive speakers,
especially at the very low end. Since my recent upgrade of the BP10s, I am utterly floored by the
sonic overall improvement. It was very good before, now it is just downright phenomenal.
Through the years I have always received first rate customer service. Put that together with exceptional
product/value, and I'm one HAPPY CAMPER. My hat's off to the people at Definitive. You're the best
in the business! I would also like to note that the combination of the Parasound components with your
products is an unbeatable combination at any PRICE! Keep it up.
"But when it comes to total quality
of sound, nothing beats Definitive."
The first Definitive Speakers I ever heard were a pair of BP2000s. The awesome clarity and the thundering
bass really impressed me and opened up a vision of sound for me.
In the past, I have heard all common name brands like B&W JBL, Parasound, Audio Jamo and so many
others that have impressed me in terms of quality of sound. But when it comes to total quality of
sound, nothing beats Definitive.
Right now I am using a pair of BP10s as fronts, a ProCenterC2 as center, a BPX as the surround,
and most importantly a PF18TL as a sub. Both in music and in movies, these speakers present an
outstanding combination of high quality sound and really shake the room with the monstrous but tight bass of
the PF18. As far as hi-fi sound is concerned, Definitive speakers are perfection in clarity. Since owning my
Definitives, I have arranged numerous speaker systems of this brand for all my friends' home theaters.
All of them are thrilled with the sound. Kudos to the makers of such excellent speakers.
I told a friend I just ordered a new Bose surround sound system and he told me to cancel the order.
My friend showed me a recent side by side review of Bose vs. Definitive speakers in Home Theater
Magazine. Definitive won hands down. I cancelled my order and bought the best system I've ever owned:
Definitive's Bipolar Towers, Center Channel (all with subwoofers) and rear channel speakers.
It's the best sounding system I've ever heard. Get this, one of my other friends called me tonight
to tell me he's thinking of buying a $2,500 system and wanted my advice. You know what I told him.
Anyway, he's coming over to check out my system and will buy a Definitive system.
"Even if
you live 300 miles from your nearest dealer, you
should make the trip."
I ordered a set of BP8s without ever listening to them after reading fantastic review upon review in every magazine
I picked up. I have never been so thrilled with a set of speakers. I have since added BP2Xs and a PF15TL.
I am now in the process of updating my center with a C/L/R 2500.
Some of my friends and relatives have also purchased Definitive Technology systems of their own after hearing mine.
Even if you live 300 miles from your nearest dealer, you should make the trip and at least hear the best
speaker systems ever made. One of my uncles drove over 500 miles to get his!
"You could spend thousands more, but
why would you?"
Most all of the customer reviews dealt with home theater applications. But I bought my BP30s
two years ago for music listening only, and they continue to amaze me. Driven by my beloved
old McIntosh amp and preamp, they fill up my large living room with such warm sound. From the
lowest levels to windowpane rattling volumes, they are superb. You could spend thousands more,
but why would you? Bipolar rules!
I auditioned everything with a Sony DA30 ES receiver and initially started out with a
pair of BP6s and a PF-12 powered sub. I chose the BP6s over the BP8s to start out with because
of the BP6s stunning midrange performance, and the PF-12 for the outstanding dynamic range
of 12" subwoofers. Listening to music was a much more enjoyable experience then ever before,
not to mention the added excitement with movies.
Then I added the C/L/R 2002 along with a set of BP2002TLs to replace the front speakers and put
the BP6s and PF-12 in the rear for surrounds. I had been waiting for a while to upgrade my
mains and purchase a center, and I could not ask for more. The staging is incredible, you feel like you
are at a concert in parts of some movies. There is so much depth and warmth compared to many
other speakers I have auditioned. I really enjoy the D'Appolito array and how it blends the
high and mid-range frequencies into listening bliss. I've turned many of my friends on to the Definitive
line of loudspeakers, and they are equally impressed.
I work for a mobile DJ company that uses top of the line Bose equipment, and Definitive was the only
other line of speakers that produced the kind of sound I was searching for. For those of you
who don't already own Definitive speakers or are looking to upgrade, I strongly urge you to make
the change, you won't be sorry.
"My decision was not difficult after
listening to the Definitives."
I recently purchased the starter pieces for my first component system. At 46 years old and with a
lifelong passion for music, this was a large event for me. I bought a receiver, DVD/CD player and
was then ready to look at floor speakers. I was at a fine audio store in Minnesota and the salesman took
me throughout the 3 sound rooms... lots of nice speakers. My decision was not difficult after listening
to the Definitives. I bought a pair of BP10Bs, and am thrilled with my choice.
The sound is pure, distinctive and full. I am anxious to buy a pair of Definitive surround speakers,
as soon as I sell my next photograph (I am a fine art and freelance photographer and seasonal employee
with the National Park Service). Though finances thin out in the winter in Montana adding surrounds to
accompany the already phenomenal sound from 2 floor speakers is high on my purchase priority list.
It's all too beautiful.
I have owned Definitive speakers now for about two years and am more and more impressed by them everyday.
I use them almost every single day; I call it more like ABUSE them every day. I had some expensive speakers
in the past but blew them out fairly quickly. I kind of lost my faith in high-end expensive speakers
for awhile, until I discovered DEFINITIVES. When I first got them I was nervous about whether they
would blow out, but they just keep on pumping out movies and music. I really will never own
another brand of speakers. These speakers with DVD-AUDIO are so amazing. Another great feature with
these speakers is that DVD-AUDIO wasn't even close to being around when I bought them but
they handle it so well. Thank You. I'm a DEFINITIVE fan forever!
"Now I have a home theater that sounds
better than my local THX theater."
I recently purchased a complete set of your speakers: BP30, ProSub 200TL, CLR1000B, and a pair of
ProCinema surrounds . Wow! I am in my final year of college and I thought having a killer system
was out of the question. Now I have a home theater that sounds better than my local THX theater,
for an amazingly affordable price!
"Who can resist speakers that bring
out every nuance in Holly Cole's singing?"
We were about to buy Phase Technology Teatro 11.5 speakers, which are very good, when we took a look at
your website. So well organized, and with prices listed and a clear list of dealers. Off we went to Sound
Central in St. Louis, heard your speakers, and we are now convinced that Phase Technology has the second-best
speakers on the market. (Some might argue that we bought our Definitive speakers because the salesman
played a Holly Cole CD, and who can resist speakers that bring out every nuance in Holly Cole's singing?)
"Putting
Definitive speakers head to head with other manufacturers'
speakers just simply isn't fair, Definitive will win EVERY
TIME!"
I have a pair of the BP10Bs for front channels, the C1000B for center channel, and
a pair of the BP2Xs for surrounds. I also have 2 PF15TL+ subs. That's right, two of them!
Words cannot describe the performance of such a high-octane system, never mind that
at these prices I feel like I stole them. There is no doubt that Definitive loudspeakers
are the best price/performance speakers available. Putting Definitive speakers head to head
with other manufacturers' speakers just simply isn't fair, Definitive will win EVERY TIME!
Anyone who doesn't at least audition Definitive speakers is doing themselves a
serious injustice! Way to go Definitive.
"They will keep me ahead of my friends
for a while yet!"
I bought my Definitive BP6B loudspeakers from a dealer awhile ago. When I first saw them,
I thought they were very strangely presented. Upon hearing them, I realized that not only did
they look strange, they sounded strange. Strange being very neutral and realistic! I loved
them and still enjoy them, powered by my 84 Watt per channel Quad amp, and Marantz Signature player.
They will keep me ahead of my friends for a while yet!
"The moment I hooked them up to my
amp I fell in love with the way they sounded."
I picked up a set of BP1s from a friend at work. The moment
I hooked them up to my amp, Kenwood M2, I fell in love
with the way they sounded. They made my long narrow living
room seem much wider. I was using these small speakers
with a cheaper 10" 100w Cerwin
sub. After I got a new receiver I had to go out and get
the BP6s and a C-1 center. I moved my BP1s to the back
and now my DVDs rock. I get a lot more separation and I love it. I look
forward to changing out the Cerwin sub with a Definitive sub to finish
it off.
"The ultimate set-up in home theater
surround sound."
My Definitive Tech. Home Theater set-up: 1. BP10,
2. ProSub 100, 3. C/L/R 1000, 4. BP2x, 5. Carver AV-505
amp, 6. Carver CT25.1 pre-amp. Thanks to George at Pecars in Troy,
MI, for recommending the ultimate set-up in home theater
surround sound.
"In my opinion these are the best
speakers produced today regardless of price."
No real story except that most of the time when listening it sounds like someone is on my front deck,
I actually have to check sometimes. For me, they cost a lot of money but, in my opinion, these are the best
speakers produced today regardless of price. The depth and sonic experience is very enjoyable every time that I turn
them on. I am auditioning some of your subs now at my house and this past Saturday my family actually
left because they couldn't handle that much sound. Great product, period!
"I haven't heard
better speakers for anything less than five times the price."
I've had my BP30s for about two years now, and I can honestly say that they're the best part of my home
theater (more so than my Vega XBR television). Of all the things I've bought, they are the only things I have no
qualms about. They are beautifully clean and clear. They even have great bass (not something I expected when
I bought them). As it turns out, they play lower than my 200 watt Klipsch sub. To this day, I wish I
had bought a Definitive sub instead. Their speaker quality is by far the best and the value is outstanding.
I haven't heard better speakers for anything less than five times the price.
Having been an audio enthusiast for over thirty years, and now with the inception of Home
Theater, and given the chance to "finally do it right," I was presented the opportunity to replace every
piece of my entire stereo system. Aside from the receiver, the most critical components are, of course, the speakers.
When I set out on my venture to find what was the best (within
certain criteria) for me, I put aside brand names, cost,
etc. All I was concerned with was the sound. After all, that's
what it is all about, isn't it? I listened to anything and everything with
no prejudice. I wanted to hear everything that I feasibly could. It didn't
take long to narrow the field down. With only two or three brands in the
final running, it didn't take long then, either, to decide. Like I said,
it's in the sound — and there was one that I found clearly superior over
all the rest (trust me, there were some very high-end, high-priced heavy
weights in there). Needless to say, the Definitives were phenomenal, regardless
of price (even though I firmly believe they blew away many high-priced alternatives).
Audio and THX DD DVD has never, ever sounded better. I'll
swear I've one of the best sounding theaters in the Denver
area — bar none! I love my Definitives — the BP10s,
the C/L/R1000 and the PF15TL (and soon DT's for the surrounds) are absolutely
incredible. The bipolar sound is "indescribably
delicious." Thanks DefTech. You are to be commended with the utmost praise.
I thought I was going to buy the Mirage OM-10s, but they no longer interested me
after I heard Definitive's BP10Bs. To me, the Definitives were clearly precise and had a cleaner
thump. Besides, the salesman at H.E. would not let me pump up the volume on the Mirage.
The Home Theatre Store not only let me listen to the speakers the way I use them, they
let me put them on layaway. Next project is to purchase the matching center channel and surrounds.
Big Ups to Definitive Technology.
"'high end' systems costing $60,000+...
don't equal the performance."
I own BP10Bs, C/L/R1000B, PF1500 and a PowerField12 in the back. I've had people over to my home that
have listened to "high-end" systems costing $60,000+ that don't equal the performance of the Def Tech system.
I love my Definitives! I've got BP8Bs for mains, a ProCenter C2 for center channel duties and BP1Xs
pulling up the rear. A ProSub 100 handles the low end. WOW! I am so pleased with how well this
system articulates movies and music! I'm a customer for life! I plan on purchasing an additional
ProSub 100, but that's simply a want...this system ROCKS as it is!
I am a proud owner of the BP2002, Center
2002, Rear BP8. I am a musician, a drummer, and I still
can't get used to the realistic sound that comes from these speakers.
The subs just keep me smiling. When the 5.1 mode is active for our DVD
movies, the wife then understands the investment and the importance of
top shelf equipment. My list of music is as versatile as your speakers.
The only flaw is that the neighbors get to feel my joy. I guess my next
Definitive investment will be our house (detached). Then the gloves come
off! Thanks for the sounds and the designs.
"These speakers are the true definition
of quality."
My story starts out with a basic home theater consisting of a Hitachi 50" projection television and some basic
stereo equipment (Sony fronts). I then got into DVD when it first came out and got a DVD-ready receiver and
some small JBL bookshelf speakers. I designed my own passive subwoofer and powered it with my previous amp
for the time being. It all sounded very good, until I heard the Definitive Technology speaker setup.
I made a pretty big leap from the Technics receiver and bookshelf speakers to the BP8 Bipolar front speakers
and a Pioneer "Elite" series THX, DTS, Dolby Digital, receiver. The rear speakers were upgraded to
a much higher-end JBL speaker, as was the center. This happened before the Definitive upgrade.
I am now testing out the PF15TL 15" Subwoofer and it sounds amazing; what a difference. The other speaker
upgrades to Definitive will happen in time also. It is hard to explain, but if you are a Home Theater buff
and won't settle for anything but the best, make the investment the first time around so you don't
have to upgrade. These speakers are the true definition of quality.
I have had a pair of BP10s for about 8 years and recently upgraded all my other components to what
I consider audiophile level. It wasn't until I got my YBA Integra DT amplifier that I could realize
the full potential of those fantastic BP10s. Thanks for the great product.
Thanks a lot Definitive! I have in my home theater system two spectacular BP10B (front speakers).
I'm very happy! Their sound is fantastic in Dolby Digital (the same in Dolby surround!).
I hope to buy in the near future two surround speakers and one center speaker by DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY.
Recently, I purchased a pair of BP30s for my front speakers, a C/L/R 2002 for my center
channel speaker, a pair of BPXs for my rear surrounds, and a PF18 subwoofer. This is
by far the most awesome sounding system I have ever heard. It actually shakes my den
floor! I listen to a lot of pipe organ CDs and I can tell you that the sound is lifelike.
Sitting on my den sofa I can feel the sofa shake on the low sounds of the pipe organ.
I also watch movies on my home theater components. Movies just come alive! Definitive,
I can honestly say, makes the best speakers I ever heard.
It seems like I can't help buying more Definitive speakers.
A few years ago I wandered into my local sound shop looking for speakers
with better imaging and sound stage. The manager said "You've got to
listen to..." and I wound up buying
a pair of BP10s. That was the beginning. Since then I've
bought BP6s, BP8s and, most recently, a ProSub 200 — all as presents.
Two pairs have been pre-owned and they sounded great even after a couple
years' use. The other day I heard someone auditioning BP2002s and know
I will eventually wind up buying a pair of them, too. They are just stunning.
"If I ever replace my set,
it will be with a larger set of Definitive Technology Speakers!"
I have owned a set of BP8s, a CLR 1000, and pair of BP1 surround speakers
since 1996. Simply put, they are one of the best purchases I have ever
made. They sound as good today as when I bought them. They are built
extremely
well, and sonically superior to other, more expensive speakers I have had
the opportunity to buy in the last nine years. If I ever replace my set,
it will be with a larger set of Definitive Technology Speakers!
