Should not be compared to Bose
on April 22, 2010
Posted by: KCalB

I have a 3.1 system; two of these speakers along with a ProMonitor 1000 center and a 12" Polk sub. These speakers produce amazing highs, but more surprisingly, they produce very good mids. Be warned though, do NOT place anything above them, or else you will lose the mid-bass response. I laugh when people say that they are superior to Bose systems. These speakers should not even be in the same store as Bose. The ONLY thing positive I can say about Bose is that they can produce a high DB level without too much distortion. Definitive also do this, but sound like they cost hundreds more. They are fairly non-directional, not as much so a Mirage, but if someone really wanted non-directional speakers, they would go with Mirage. IMO, Definitive speakers sound better then Mirage for SQ. But these speakers, they are a bargain for $145.00 a piece.
What's great about it: Sound quality esp mids and highs
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best bookshelf speakers?

Best bookshelf speakers to use with Samsung 50" Plasma HDTV? How many watts will the TV drive without an amplifier?
I have a 50" Samsung Plasma. First off, the TV will have an audio output, but will not drive any speakers without an external amplifier or receiver. That being said, I'd recommend Definitive Technology Pro Monitor 800s. A bit pricey, but a bargain for sound quality. If you're looking for something cheaper, Polk makes some nice speakers. They may not sound as good as Definitive, but for a pair, they come to about $100.00 less. Hope this helps.
