I just got these to replace my B&W DM 570 front speakers and I'm amazed at how big these speakers sound. I already had the Promonitor 1000's for my rear speakers so I wasn't completely caught off guard, but still... wow. These are floor standing speakers masquerading as bookshelf speakers. The mids and highs are bright and crisp without being harsh, and that bass... This little speaker digs deep. I would almost say a sub isn't even necessary, but with my large room and a receiver with 2 subwoofer outputs I opted to pair them with 2 Klipsch RPW 10 powered subs just ti fill in the bottom end and couldn't be happier and from what I've been reading, they get even better after the break in period. I consider myself a budget audiophile, and these babies definitely fit the bill for me. They can hold their own with some in their class that are double or in some cases triple the price. I'm definitely a DefTech convert. The CS 8040 is my next purchase. That will finish my 5.2 surround setup.Read full review

Wanted a smaller pair of monitors that would play with some authority in a medium sized room. These fit the bill perfectly. The passive radiator really allows these monitors to cover lower octaves with some punch and they play to high volumes without sounding congested. The midrange and treble are pretty revealing. Sitting on axis with the tweeters makes these speakers extremely revealing. I would not toe them in a lot to expand the soundstage and take a slight amount of high frequency energy off for my tastes. For the price, these are some really nice sounding monitors that play loud, do not hide anything in the midrange, and look pretty sharp. Went with 28 inch stands that seem to work well. Tried these with a high quality Anthem receiver and also a parasound amp. The receiver powered them just fine.Read full review

I have my new Def Tech SM55,s connected to a Pioneer Elite 110w/channel receiver and a Martin Logan 500 subwoofer. These speakers sound just O.K. fresh out of the box. After about 20 hours of play time the sound becomes more and more detailed, especially in the mid base frequency range. After about 50 hours, the soundstage and detail is just fantastic...I can just imagine what will happen at 80 hours of play time. These speakers represent a GREAT value!!!! Best speakers under $600 ever!!!
Bought these great products thinking that it was "new", but it's not. It's open box and then, the person that "packed" these, was a total imbecile. There was no packing at all, traveling from Ohio to Georgia. I think that Best Buy is going to work this out for me, but it's going to be an extended solution, over several days. And, I'm not getting the great financing that I was able to get with PayPal. It's been a total snafu, with great disappointment and extra work just getting things settled. I'm still not happy with the outcome and may have to input more. Sometimes, Best Buy just doesn't know which end is up.......
