What's great about it: Build quality and sound quality are amazing no regretes
These floor speakers are amazing. I spent alot of time demoing speakers looking for the best sound for a home theater in a 12x15 room I tryed the Motion 12's , CF-30's, and finally the 684B's. In the end I was torn between the BP-8020st's and the 684's after another in depth movie demo between the 2 I went Def Tech they all sounded great but in the end the 8020's just blew me away the built in subs and Bi Polar design completely surrounds you in rich deep sound which was exactly what i was looking for. I dont regret my purchase at all if your in the market for new speakers give them a listen you wont be disappointed.
This product has... Right size for my space, Good build quality, great sound

What's great about it: Everything, value , looks, superior sound quality over higher priced competition.
What's not so great: nothing to this point, a smart investment for music and movies.
Def-Tech has been around for a while now and basically rules the bi-polar tower world. These new entry's show that they continue to master the craft. I chose the 8020's over the 8040's based on what "i" heard. They just sounded better to me, their size is perfect and convey that you take your audio seriously but are not trying to be obnoxious about showing off you gear. The subs as mentioned in other reviews are a perfect match to the rest of the speakers and this is where they shine with total control over just how much you want to be moved by bass. Placement of these is important and in most situations they should be place at least a foot or more from a rear wall to allow for the correct reflections from the rear firing speaker. Placement will also dictate the level you run the bass at as well. I personally have a rather high-end JBL bass module so i tend to keep mine on the very low level between 2 and 5 but adjust to your liking.
When considering reviews, keep in mind that outside of comments on build quality or looks, you MUST listen to the speakers to really make an informed decision. I recommend a listen but will say if that is simply not possible, im pretty sure that buying these and setting them up in your home for a first time listen, will not disappoint.
For the price range, i passed on more expensive B&W, Mirage and Martin Logan towers so again, go listen if you can, you could end up saving yourself a few hundred or more dollars in the end. I did and ended up upgrading my center channel to Def Tech as well ( shown below)

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing as of yet
Just got these speakers right before the new year and they are amazing. Sound quality, look, everything really. The 8"sub on each tower and the fully adjustable output level of them makes for great bass w/o the need of a stand alone unit.

What's great about it: Sound Quality, Built-in subwoofer
Just bought these floor speakers the other day and so far I'm very pleased with the quality of sound and appearance. I have a small living room (12x15) and the built-in powered subwoofers definitely helped with the space. Plus, they put out enough power and the sound quality is great!

What's great about it: Sound, highs, mids, bass, voices, built in subs, slender looks.
What's not so great: Nothing and I mean it. Your neighbors might not like them.
These speakers are the best. My budget was $700 per speaker and demoed these in house against B&W 684B and Martin Logan MO12BL. They blew both of those away. Perhaps it's the built in sub woofers that gave them a fuller sound but when a movie was demoed after the music, I could hear the voices much clearer as well. There's a reason they've been back ordered for so long online.It's nice the built in subs give enough bass, however, they also compliment your existing subs. Now I have four subs all turned on half way which give a nice crisp bass that's not over powering. The subs can be active or passive, it's up to you. I recommend listening very loud to Godsmack, Seether, or Breaking Benjamin while using these speakers, they can handle anything. I'm playing these through a Marantz SR5005 ($800) and also the Definitive Center Channel speaker (ProCenter 1000, $220).
I would recommend this to a friend!
