any def tech fans?

agree with slikric--some good friends had the subless bp towers (bp10?) and they were very engaging in a sit-around-the-fire sort of way--very large soundstage, nice balance, sorta reminded me of ohms. not hyper-detailed or big on imaging, probably because of the bipolar design, but a big room-filling design. the powered bp towers, on the other hand, were a miss--boomy, with poor driver integration. i've heard similar powered polk towers (rt1000/20000p) which sounded much better. just my opinion.

Phasecorrect: I had BP10s hooked up to AMC tube amps and preamp about 15yrs ago. The combination sounded very good. But like above, and depending on the equipment, they can sound pretty bright. Good luck.

I have to agree with bondmanp. The Def Techs that I have heard were all painful to listen to. Boomy bass with very harsh highs/treble, and little to no midrange. My brother purchased them for a home theater system and they sounded significantly worse than even the tv's built-in speakers.

I listened to a pair over the weekend and was disappointed. I own a pair of Polk rt2000p speakers that are sonically superior to my ears (I have a damaged woofer and I am now considering repairing vs. making an excuse to upgrade). The bass was boomy, the mid-range was absent and the highs were sharp...they did not sound good even for an action movie let alone music.
