a high rating doesn't really mean that its the most reviewed speaker....
if your really looking for the most reviewed speaker...
my guess would be Bose speakers.
they have been in the market longer than definitive tech.
plus with all the bashing around the different forums about Bose speakers, i'd say this has gotta to be the most reviewed/popular speaker in the world.
but thats just me. :)

To bently:
Youre right about bose. Plus They have great commercial speakers. Mahal lang nga talaga.
They may not sound the best but the marketing is great.
Bought a bose myself but sold it recently due to Pinoy DVD threads about hating bose.

redkoji,
When I power on and off my ProSub80, a large thumping sound is heard. After turning the volume on to 29dB, the sub no longer does its 'thumping' when powering it off and on. What gives?

Since the design of Definitive Pro Sub are quite different from others...the thump sound is quite normal. The normal approach in using our equipment when turning on is that we start at the lowest level, thus if your start at a high volume the thumping occurs. Moreover, Prosub's are equipped with automatic off-on, so there no need to turn it off. The auto shut/on work if the sub has not received any signal from the signal source for a few minutes.

Hello, medyo OT ito, but why is it BOSE are usually out sa pinoy dvd? We own 2 sets of BOSE201 rated at 150 watts, I say it still sounds better than some.

sigma> Cause you been duped into buying some over priced crap. Simply put.
Bose is nothing but overhype crap. Na no person who knows about speakers will even consider buying.
Bose markets their products as technological advanced.. yeah.. what a laugh. those jewel speakers have been around since 80s.

aray, that was a big rock thrown our way... hahaha...
anyway, listening depends on one's preference, affordability and satisfaction...
i still retained my Bose Acoustimas and nope, didn't got them for an arm and a leg price :-)
am i totally ignorant of speakers, technologies and other factors? maybe I can't claim 100% knowledge but at least I know my fundamentals...
I guess, in this board, we just can't afford to just issue out a generalization for some people like myself who continue to use a very unpopular brand in this forum... my satisfaction doesn't need to be based on the satisfaction of those who claim a lot to be gurus of this trade.
to be constructive, we can just provide information useful for other people not merely stereotyping them because of the brands, models and stuff that they use.
i think plainly put, Bose is damn too expensive for the features it promises compared to other brands... of course, if you got it for a song, not bad keeping it either.
oh, a little trivia, the tread that moderator Levi has pointed out contains a lot of references on this discussion... and your's truly innocently started a thread which turned out to be quite emotional discussion for some... quite educational nevertheless... but at the end of the day, you decide what is best for you and not others...
PEACE ;D ;D ;D
-
I hope you don't mind if we cut-off BOSE here....
Are there any Definitive users here, we want to know your prespective regarding your usage of this speaker brands....
Thanks in advance

I guess most of the buyers of Definitive are not PinoyDVD members, since wala pa rin nag-comment until now.

STEREO REVIEW’S SOUND & VISION
Test report BY RICH WARREN
http://www.definitivetech.com/reviews/BP2006TLSV/BP2006TL_SV.html
BP 2006TL Home Theater Speaker System
"The highest praise any speaker system can garner” equels dominate movie and home theater screens: Star Trek surpassed The Godfather in generations, and Star Wars bent space and time into prequels. So why not sequels for home theater speakers, too? The BP2006TL continues Definitive Technology’s tradition of producing bipolar, floor-standing speakers with built-in powered subwoofers. To create a home theater system around the 2006TLs, I used Def Tech’s new
CLR 2300 speaker to handle the center channel — it also contains a powered sub — and a pair of small BP 2X bipolar speakers for the surrounds.
The 2006TL columns stand about waist high and are cloaked in a black knit “sock” with lac- quered black end caps. Less than a foot deep and half as wide, they occupy minimal floor spaceand could ease some domestic disputes about placing floor-standing speakers. Within each col- umn resides pairs of front- and rear-firing tweet- ers and midrange drivers, wired in phase to create a bipolar radiation pattern (out of phase would be dipolar). The 8-inch subwoofer, powered by a 250-watt amplifier, has its own transmission-line, slot-loaded subenclosure, which is designed to enhance low-bass performance. Each 2006TL has a low-frequency level control in back
The CLR 2300, half as long as the 2006TL is high, has the same enclosure styling, though it’s not bipolar. It can be positioned vertically or hor- izontally, and I set it vertically on the floor under my TV. It holds a front-firing tweeter, two midrange drivers, and an 8-inch subwoofer pow- ered by a 150-watt amplifier. The subwoofer sections of the front speakers accept signals either from the speaker outputs of an amplifier or receiver or from the line-level out- puts of a preamp or processor. While in theory line-level signals are slightly cleaner, I used the speaker-level inputs for the sake of convenience, just as most people are likely to do. The BP 2X surrounds come in white or black trapezoidal enclosures and include wall-mounting plates. Each speaker has two woofer/tweeter complements, which fire in phase in opposite directions.
Whether you call the BP 2006TL and CLR 2300 prequels or sequels, they beat most Hollywood efforts, where second and third out- ings often fall shy of the originals. In fact, this $2,300 system could persuade you to buy the 2006TL instead of one of the company’s earlier and more expensive tower models as your “main” L/R speaker. I moved out my $7,000 reference speaker system and spent a week with the Def Tech combo, which I’ll call the 2006TL system from this point on. I fed it Dolby Digital DVDs of shoot ’em up adventures and three-hankie love stories, jazz and pop videos, some store- bought CDs and a few CD-Rs that I burned from acoustic studio recordings I produced for radio.

we use definitives in some of our family setups. one of the better values in home theater for the money (at least if you get to buy in the us). excellent ht performance.
however, in the phils, i noticed that most people don't really notice the brand.

I have a pair of Pro Cinema Monitor 80. They sound very well especially when coupled with the Pro Sub 80. The only thing is the set I got was probably a lemon. They've been back to the shop a couple of times including the sub.
A friend of mine decided on the complete Pro 80 system.
Bought it outright from Audi Den in the early '01s. So far he's doing okay. His original choice was Bose but changed his mind after hearing my speakers.
I'm interested in the Studio Monitors for my main speakers but that will have to wait. I believe they cost
more than 20K a pair.
It's true not many people have heard of this brand locally.
People go "huh?!" when I mention the brand in discussions.

hello redkoji my brother bought definitive speakers and he has questions with the recommended hookup of main speakers. he has promonitor( forgot the exact model but it is a small one) and a pro bass. using L-R out of sherwood receiver the techinician put it in high level input of probass and output to the main speakers. is this really the recomended hookup? kasi he tried to hook the subw out of sherwood and L-R for main spkrs walang lumalabas na tunog from subwoofer.

Well, Sir Redkoji, I auditioned the Def Tech Pro cinema 60 kagabi sa atc. And it sounds good, you'd never noticed that the sounds are coming from the small speakers. And with the price tag that comes with it, thats already a steal. Kung alam ko lang na may darating noon, nag intay na lang sana ako!!!! hehehehehehhehe!!!

I have a 5.1 setup with a pair of BP10, CLR1000, 2 PF15, and BP2 for the rear/sides. Planning to upgrade to 6.1 when i get an AVR upgrade (currently an onkyo 838 would probably get a NAD T753 or T763 or Denon 3805). What would you recommend for the rear speaker?
-
I have nothing against Bose and I think they are good speakers but I believe that Bose speakers have been over-advertised ..... all this hype about Bose being the BEST. In reality it just happens that Bose is just very successful in their advertising. But among the more seasoned audiophiles even those based abroad .... there are BETTER quality speakers than Bose.
Perhaps the only speakers you've experienced are the ones being sold in the malls that is why you say what you say .... most malls just carry the commercial brands like JBL, Kenwood, Sony, etc. Most of the "audiophile quality" speakers - you won't find in the malls but in their own specialized showrooms. Have you ever heard Definity, Klipsch, Rels? And have you experienced amps like NAD?
Hello, medyo OT ito, but why is it BOSE are usually out sa pinoy dvd? We own 2 sets of BOSE201 rated at 150 watts, I say it still sounds better than some.

are the powermonitor series of speakers sold in the phils? i've auditioned them abroad and wanted to get a pair for a small setup.
-
I bought my ProCinema 80 a few years back and have been very happy with the set's performance. I am specially impressed with the center speaker which clearly reproduces sound. This is very important for me since I use it maily for watching movies.
I have to say though that I am not particularly happy with the build quality of the Pro Sub 80. It sounds good, big for its size but I had it repaired once before and just the other day the fuse blew again (the same problem as before). Audio Den's suggestion is to replace the entire amplifier section of the sub intead of repairing it to avoid recurrence. Apparently there was a design flaw on the amp.
I wrote to Definitive Technology yesterday and I will be sharing with you their response as soon as I receive it.
-
In regards to Definitve ProSubs, it is not actually a design flaw but it is much more of application based design overlook. In the US and other western countries, they don't turn-off the unit already even if, it would be days before they used the sub again. Thus, the busting of fuse is lesser compared to asia. Moreover, in Asia, especially in the Philippines, the powerfluctation is quite extreme. As per our test, even such big malls, the power fluctuation registered from 150V - 320V. The situation got worse because most of the Asian user have not reported it to Definitive regarding their changing of fuse...previously the standard fuse by Definitive is 1.25A slow blow fused. The distributor usually recommend to replaced it with 5A to the end-user. This result to such action is the burning of the built-in Amp. Currently the fuse standard equipped ProSub is 1.65A slow blow type.
In the Philippine market, there is no avaiable slow blow fuse, we normally ask Definitive for this.

Thanks in advance

With a room of that size...the procinema 60 will do...the sound quality is not affected that much because the room is very just approriate for the two models. The thing that will make differs here is the type of amp you will buy...to get the maximum performance of the said models.

Definitive Technology replied to my email and told me to bring my unit to their new distributor (Avid) where it should be reparaired free of charge. So I did and it was repaired with minimal cost (cost of freight charges for the parts) to me. I have been using for months now without any problem.
One thing I suggestto owners of DefTech sub, intall a plastic mesh to cover the port at the back. This will prevent insects and rodents getting inside and messing with the electronics.

Hi Papaber,
Has thre been changes since last time you have this repaired? What exactly is the design flaw on the DefTech sub's amplifier section.
If not for that particular issue, how's the over-all performance of this particular branded sub and model?

Hi Jackryan!
The sub has been performing well since I last have it repaired. It is working like a new sub. I would actually recommend the sub especially if your listening space is not too big.

I am seriously looking into getting one but was worried that I'll hit the same short fuse and amp design problem you encountered... did they change the whole amp unit ???

Like papaber my Pro Sub 80 also suffered from the fuse problem.
According to Definitive's local distro then, circa 2002 Audio Den, they had a new amp section delivered from the manufacturer and replaced mine with it. This was because part of the amp got fried. It worked for some time.
2003, the fuse blew again and the sub refused to work despite a new fuse.
I had it brought to Studio Systems in J.Bocobo Manila and had them work on it.
They returned it saying they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
I asked them to use it for two weeks or so to burn it in. Now it's still working.
I don't know what's wrong with these units but they don't seem to like our local power supply ~ even through a 2500W AVR. Maybe I need a Line conditioner?
I'm looking to acquire either ProCinema 200 or Studio Monitor 350 at the sale if they are included.
-
They did not charge me for the amp. They charged me only for the freight and labor.

I finally got the Prosub80 this lunchtime. The guys at Avid has been very helpful.
I also noticed the load thumping sound if the unit is turned on or turned off with an audio line sign still active. I guess, I have to rig a DIY device that would allow me to cut-off audio line source independent of power. Not sure if keeping the unit turned on the whole time is really failsafe considering the dirty power line situation we have here.
Any ideas how much power this unit consumes if left connected to the Meralco line ?

Any news on the Jan 27 - Feb 5 Sale ???
-
Hi all,
I'm a newbie so please bear with me if I use unusual terms to describe things and if the answers to my questions seem obvious. Before I ask away, here's a short backgrounder...
Came across a shop last night that had a sale on Definitive Tech speakers. Listened to a few pairs and one sood out for me - the ProTower 400. I really liked the way they sounded so I did some research on the net and saw some good reviews.
On to the questions:
1. Has anyone had experiences with these speakers? Are they as good as my ears tell me they are? I really liked what I heard last night but being a novice makes me doubtful of myself.
2. Can anyone recommend an amp to go with these? I was thinking of pairing it with a NAD amp that was driving the ProTowers when I listened to them last night.
I'm starting from scratch so any advice would be well appreciated.
Thanks guys!
-
Which shop ? and how much ? This will help others understand if they can recommend you a better or equivalent configurations.
-jackryan 8)
-
They're on sale for Php 30,000 / pair at Avid. I'm looking for something that will handle mostly audio CDs with a few DVDs thrown in once in a while. Not looking for a multi-channel HT setup at the moment.
The amp I'm thinking of using it with is a NAD C350 which costs around Php 21,000 at the same shop. I don't really have a fixed budget but I'd like to keep it in the 50 - 75k range if possible. :-\

They're on sale for Php 30,000 / pair at Avid. I'm looking for something that will handle mostly audio CDs with a few DVDs thrown in once in a while. Not looking for a multi-channel HT setup at the moment.

ca89056,
i don't know much about def tech speakers except that i've seen specs such as 20 Hz — 30 kHz freq response for some towers!!! i don't know if this true.
you've got quite a budget there :) you can check out other threads here. im sure you can do better.
happy hunting :)

Hi ca89056,
Definitive Tech are good speakers but given for a budget you have it would be best to consider other brand of speakers like Acoustic Energy (AE), Usher, Monitor Audio... etc. Since you're more into audio than HT, best to consider are the AE's and USHER pair with HK receivers. Try call architectural audio (816-6723) or visit them at greenbelt 1. They carry all these brands and could help you better what best for your ears.... Enjoy! ;D
-
Thanks for the inputs to guys. I was planning to get the speakers today but I guess I'll drop by Architectural Audio instead. :)

Mythos ST SuperTowers® (http://www.definitivetech.com/loudspeakers/mythos/mythos_st_supertower.html)
Being a satisfied user of DefTech's CLR2300 speaker, just thought I'd bumped this up.
Cheers! ;D

Is there a new DefTech distro? Last I heard from the thread starter is that they're letting go of the brand. That was after availing of the Pro Cinema 200s back in 2005.
I'd like to grab another pair to upgrade my old Pro Cinema 80 pair for rears.

I'm also wondering the same thing. Based on reading the threads here, it seems that wala nang pumalit na distributor for DefTechs here in the Philippines. Sayang naman... ganda sanang mapakinggan kung ano tunog nung Mythos ST.
I'm also looking to grab a pair of CLRs pa sana.

IMHO... it's more overprice than it's quality. I got prosub-80 that got a problem serv. center have to replace the whole ampboard but could not produce replacement due lack of support from the manufacturer... >:( >:(
There are so many brands to choose from.... ::) ::)
