Another one. Def Tech speakers are just fine. There are a lot of haters. If they are so bad why do they get reviews like this?
And this is from Audioholics too.
I wouldn't get too worked up over comments you see about DT. There are just some that can't get past the published specs. While it is bothersome, I still like some of Deftech's speakers. The studiomonitors are pretty good, imo.
TLS isn't your typical audio enthusiast and I think he was talking about a different line of Deftech speakers, as I'm pretty sure he thought you were the OP when he replied to you because he brought up the issue relating to the thread topic.
I have had their speakers (still using Promonitor 1000's for surrounds and do not plan to replace them) and endured those comments for a long time. Like ADTG said to you in another thread, the more you hear it, the louder it gets. Just shrug it off and don't worry about using disclamers. I like the video you posted. I've watched it a few times when I had my 55's, wishing I could have afforded the 65's (which I couldn't at the time).
My Ultras are a nice step up from the 55's, and they'd better be for another $400 in retail. I've heard the 65's in a demo room and thought they were very capable speakers. I'd love to hear them on my system.
Bottom line, if they sound amazing and you're happy with them then just be happy and don't worry about others' opinions. If you run into some money and you're ready to upgrade, make some posts here and you'll get all kinds of suggestions. For now enjoy those SM65's. They're good speakers, imo.
