What do you think about Definitive Technology?

Def Tech's Classic Model is The Orginal 2004 with The 125 sub amp,10"woofer,well balanced sound spectrum for MUSIC.Not the latest 2004tl with the 250 watt amp,To much bass and mid bass,good for HT I guess.Check my system..JD

Samski is right -- listen to the alternatives (preferably in your own home) and then decide. "It all depends on your gear and your ear" (great quote by Thedautch). By the way, just to be clear, I was referring to the Paradigm Ref version 2's -- I can't speak for the earlier version. Good luck.

For Home Theater usage Definitives are very hard to beat, especially if you shop around and get them used at around 50% of retail. I have been using an all Definitive Home Theater system for years (BP 2004s (Fronts), CLR 1000 (Center), BPX (Rears) plus a Powerfield 1500 sub. This combo works very well especially the 2004 internal subs with the external 1500 sub. I recently replaced my BP10s with the 2004s which was a big improvement, found such a great deal I could not pass them up. So for movies they are great you would be more than satisfied. For music they are very good but not great. I have a totally separate two channel system for serious listening. Comparing is hard because of the price difference between the two systems, so if you are going to primarily use them for HT go for it. Service from DT is first rate.

Hats off fellow Audiogoners. All of you clearly disagreed with me but were extremely courteous and objective. That doesn't happen on every site. You're a credit to the "audioholic" world ;-)

I own a pair or 2004 that I got for $325 on Ebay and a CLR center for $300 and you cannot beat them for HT. In fact, I will never let them go. You will need another set for audio other than DT. Maybe a pair of B&Ws for the DTs lack that musical image.
