Price Paid:  $600.00

Summary:
I own a DT Pro Cinema 100 system and have for some time, thought that the PRO 100 Centre could have a fuller and larger sound stage. Recently I got the chance to trade my Centre in for a CLR1000B. What a difference it makes to my system. This speaker has great bass and a full rich sound (clear). I was really after a good speaker to make voice in movies full bodied and this is exactly what I now have. Listened to the "Man Who Wasn't There" and the dialogue sounds very impressive and full. My system is 4 x DT Cinema Pro 100 and 1 x Pro 100 Sub, Denon AVR3200 AMP and now the CLR 1000B centre. Obviously had to rebalance the system a bit and am very happy with the results. Retail was $920 for the 1000B but I got a trade in on my old centre and paid $600AUS change over. This speaker has enhanced Dolby Pro Logic sound of my setup to great effect - it was sound setting that I never bothered with before this speaker; always preffered Dennon 5 channel stereo. My wife who loves musicals could tell the differnce with this speaker straight away and enjoys the sound as much as I do. Definately worth a listen if you're in the market.

Strengths:
Wide soundstage. Great dynamic range. Good Bass without loss of clarity. Performs brilliantly on voice. Great for mono soundtracks of old musicals.

Weaknesses:
Size may be an issue for some. Cost and availability in Australia (but better than opposition at same price).

Similar Products Used:

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
