    Definitive Technology Speakers - ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

    No it doesn't. It means there can be a total deviation of 6dB from maximum to minimum. There can only be a swing of 3dB in either direction from average, exactly as the spec says.

    Have I been stood up?

    The internet singles site has paid off. Third date is tomorrow. The only catch is that she lives too far away to see more than once a week (about 40 minutes one way.) We have already agreed to alternate driving duties though, which helps. (And we talk on the phone, of course.)

    What song puts you in a good mood?

    There are plenty of things about myself that I laugh at. You just didn't happen to choose any of them.:rolleyes:

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    I have considered it, but they are both too big for my limited space and too expensive. Actually, I can get excellent bass from the DTs by placing them very far from the walls (2ft or more.) The only issue with this is that it reduces the space between them, which compromises soundstage...

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    Some of their towers. Not the BP8s or BP10s that I have.

    Definitive Technology Speakers - ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

    I have never seen the SMs (or any Def Tech bookshelves other than Mythos) at any UE store. I can't imagine them giving a discount on something that they have to special order.

    Confusion about Ohms

    If your receiver is set to match the speakers with the lowest impedance (6 Ohms in this case), the rest will be fine.

    What song puts you in a good mood?

    I know those rails are around here somewhere. Oh yes, here they are... La Isla Bonita by Madonna. Surfin' Bird by the Ramones. Sunday Girl by Blondie. Ice Cream Man by Van Halen... :D

    What song puts you in a good mood?

    That is because you take things that are very positive attributes (eg wanting to have a decent president, being concerned about the environment, being opposed to violence) and try to turn them into something negative to be made fun of.:(

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    As I mentioned earlier, I am certain that my room is the issue, not the speakers. Every pair of speakers (and every sub) with a -3dB point lower than about 40Hz or so has the same issues in that room. The Def Techs sound flawless in my HT, which is in a different room. You say a lot of things...

    What song puts you in a good mood?

    Right, you are pretty hilarious (not.) Just to be clear, hating Bush and his private war is in no way incompatable with loving America. (In fact, I hate Bush because I love America.) It is true that there are too many people in this world, whether you choose to put your blinders on and...

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    Def Tech speakers are excellent. If they were not, I would not have been using them in my HT for the last 8 years without the slightest inclination to upgrade.

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    My Def Techs use a transmission line design. They do sound pretty good overall in my room, but they put out a rather excessive amount of bass that can not only become boomy, but also overwhelm the other frequencies. A good way to sum it up is that I like the Def Techs (or other towers with...

    What song puts you in a good mood?

    Planet Claire by the B52s. Miss America by Styx. Carmelita by Warren Zevon. Fun It by Queen. Heart of Glass by Blondie. Seet Child O' Mine by Guns & Roses. Mahalia by Shriekback. Hawaii five-O by the Ventures. I could go on, but that will do for now.:)

    Bookshelf v Tower for a smaller room

    Um, no, I am not saying anything like that. You missed the part about not using a sub in either system. What I am saying is that it sounds better with the bass below about 55Hz missing entirely.

    What would you upgrade?

    I wouldn't change mains just for the color, since you are happy with the sound (Plus I would consider Klipsch a big step down from PSB.) Surrounds don't make a big difference, as they are pretty much just for directional cues. I have never heard any difference at all between 5.1 and 6.1. The...

    Journey-with the new vocalist

    Remember, Journey made two good albums before Perry joined them. (My personal favorites of theirs, in fact.)

    Definitive Technology Speakers - ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

    Thanks. The only ones I was thinking of trying were the SM350s, though, which were shown at full price on one of those sites and not at all on the other. UE has never carried the SMs that I am aware of.

    Is Tony Royster Jr. the next best drummer?

    The best drummers I have heard have all been jazz. Especially Elvin Jones and Billy Cobham.

    It doesnt matter how good your speakers are if you cant hear: Tinnitus

    It was temporary. Who knows how many more concerts it would have taken to make it permanent, though? :eek:(My guess is not many.) I had to have my hearing checked for my present job. It tested far better than average for my age.
