What's great about it: Sound is awesome
What's not so great: A little pricy
Definitive speakers sound incredible and Definitive knows it! While it would be great to have spent a little less money on speakers, I have to say these were so worth it. I have a pair of the 8060 set up in our living room, one on each side of the TV. We use them a lot for surround sound for Movies, TV shows, and Sports. A center channel speaker is a must, but needs to be well match to the towers. In my experience, a sub is just not necessary as the towers have powered subs in them. (When I was looking at them in the store, the in store set up did not have the subs connected - I sort of took a chance on these speakers as I did not hear them in the store with subs connected. But was not disappointed once I got them home.)
All in all these are a great pair of speakers, sound great - you will not be disappointed.
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality

What's great about it: The sound, the look and the features
What's not so great: The price is a little high, but well worth it with the built-in sub-woofer
These speakers are awesome! They have a built in sub-woofer which puts out amazing sound. Went to Best Buy looking for bookshelf sized speakers but when we heard these we were hooked. We love music and the clarity that these speakers put out even with the bass on high (love my bass!) is amazing. Don't let the 'bi-polar' label scare you off, that is what makes these so great - music pours out from all directions.
This product has... great features

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing
I know they are expensive but you will no doubt have these speakers for a lifetime. Built in subwoofers for great bass. The bipolar sound gives you the best all around sound. Great for watching movies and sports. The sound is amazing it feels like you are right there. Even if you went with the BP8040s or BP8020s the sound its prefect. Ask for a demo from a sales rep like it did. These will blow your mind.

What's great about it: the sound baby!
What's not so great: can't find a thing....awsome towers
First let me start off by saying I have never had decent speakers in my life.....the best I ever had was a JVC box system...lol.....OK now the speakers......before I bought these I did sooo much research on speakers it made my head spin but I always came across someone or a review about how great deftech's were I finally went to best buy to give them a listen....before I even went I pretty much settled on the 8060's but also wanted to listen to the 8040's just to compare.Well after hearing both I got the 8060's.....plus the 20hrz compared to the 8040's 25hrz made a big difference.....the 8060's sounded great in the showroom but once I got them home and hooked them into my new pioneer receiver I was floored.It took me a good day too place them right and get all the settings in the receiver right for them to shine but once I did....WOW.I have been watching bluerays all day with these speakers and the smile on my face is priceless...lol....these do put out insane bass so be careful if ya have neighbors....hehe....and I'm by no means an audio file but I know great sound when I hear it and these badboy's deliver.....if you can pick them up....you will not regret it....just be patient in the setup and read you receiver manual....a little time and you will be floored by these....take care,
Josh

What's great about it: bass tones good midrange more cinema like experience
What's not so great: maybe need 140 watts per channel not 110w, not sure yet.
i bought the 8040 model after trying it out i was not impressed with the punchy bass it had. so i got these with the 10 inch woofer. much better bass. sounds more like surround bass with good reverb in the low tones unlike the 8 inch woofer which has les bass more punch to the tones. overall this speaker has good highs great mids and great lows. alot of your uncompressed sound will depend on your hdmi cord i noticed when i bought the audioquest cord the sound improved the cord i was uding before was a belkin hdmi cord i also tried a walmart monsterhdmi cord that had less quality picture then the belkin cord. the 8060 speaker is a great speaker if you want to make sure your low sounds are going to be right where you want them . the 20hz low frequency makes a difference as compared to the 8040 that has 25 hz lows. i like the larger 4.5 inch midrange speakers over the 3.5 inch midrange speakers they seem to pull more sound out of the movie, for a more "cinnimatic" experience. well worth paying the extra money to upgrade from the 8040's.
