from EbaY Summary: WOW All I can say is WOW! I have been a poor stereo buff for years. Now I have the money but I research, and shop for the "BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK" I have never been satisfied with any main set of speakers I have owned. All of them(Bose, Bic, Klipsch etc.) have sounded good but under heavy thumping sounded overworked, and thrashy on the high end. I never understood really what a soundstage was until I fired up the DEF TECH'S. Now I know what a soundstage is. I demo'd The entire Klipsch line, Boston Acoustics, Paradigm's, and I'm sorry but dollar for dollar these DF 400's are hands down better sounding. None of the other speakers I listened to could be used without a good powered sub NONE! I was worried about purchasing these, I didn't know if the DF400's would have the presence of the Boston Acoustics, which were in my listening opinion clean and pure. My worries were unwarranted, the Def's have a beautiful clean sound with a greater presence than any of the forementioned speakers. Knowing what I know now I would buy these in a heartbeat for the 1000 dollars they retail for!
Use a clean high end receiver, and good cables.
If you can get a good deal on these speakers used don't hesitate. My wife is even flabbergasted at how good they sound, and she has never in our 20 plus years of marriage said anything good about any speaker I have owned. Strengths: Bass, soundstage, highs, umm everthing we expect or want a speaker to exhibit. My walls are reverberating with the bass these things are kicking out in the other room at low volume levels(sweet). Weaknesses: Weakness's, NONE! Similar Products Used: Bose 901's, 501's, 301's, Klipsch's several, Pioneer, Yamaha, Way too many crappy speakers.
