They look nice next to a TV because of their slim design. But you didn't review their sound performance. That's what matters. For $700 I think one would get more bang for their buck with Vienna Acoustics Trio or Webern. Or maybe even a Martin Logan Fresco i which should be going for a lot less nowadays since it has been discontinued. Both the VA and ML have sophisticated elegant designs... the DefTech, not so much except for the slimness of it. Oh I forget that the MLs have the Voyage, Passage and Ticket if you want a slim design going for $1995, $799, and $499 respectively.
