After having these speakers for about six months, I can recommend them whole heartedly. I have had speakers from PSB, Boston Acoustics, Paradigm and Yamaha. These Definitives are unrivaled for clarity. Don't be fooled by their size, these things can fill a room with sound. They have two built in wall mounting options, Keyhole slot and threaded insert, that makes them very decor/plasma TV friendly. They also rate very high on the "Wife Approval Factor" for aesthetics. Understand that these speakers do require at least a couple of weeks break in time to sound their best.

These are perfectly suited for 2-channel applications as well as surround. What makes them better than many other similar satellite speakers is that they have quality binding posts and passive radiators. Actually, I can't describe them as satellites. While I had a rare instance where a radiator had a minor flaw, all it did was to prove how well the Company backs up their product. Great sound and very well made with excellent customer service!

I don't like surround sound I just bought these for my hi-fi. Fantastic clarity and range from a very low cost solid performer.. I will buy the floor standing version in time. So nice to own something so well designed and made. Def Tech are a quality manufacturer.

I have B&W speakers and was looking for a "cheap" pair of speakers for my office. these exceeded my expectations which are way to high.

Pleasantly surprised! I needed to downsize from larger bookshelf speakers (Oldie but goodie JBLs). All around, these were a great choice.
I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile that no longer has a budget or space. I looked around on the internet at various small bookshelf models from Yamaha, Infinity, JBL, etc. I will say I took a leap of faith and bought these sound unheard...They sound great. Realistically, they are what they are. You're not going to get huge sound from them. I did notice that the are rated at a higher SPL (91) than most speakers and you can tell. The sound is quality though. Bass response isn't outstanding, but baritone to soprano vocals are full and clear.
Seeing as I'm a cheapskate, I didn't want to pay full price. I noticed that Amazon Warehouse had some at a reduced rate. The site stated that they were in "very good" condition with some "cosmetic blemishes." I used super saver shipping - they shipped within 4 days and they have no blemishes on them! They are very attractive speakers - the wife unit is very pleased.
If you're looking for a small bookshelf with good sound and great looks, I think these are it.
