breathtaking sound

I've read about Definitive Technology speakers for years in audio magazines, both in advertisements and reviews. When I purchased a new receiver I decided to get a ProCinema 800 system to go along with it.
To say that I am absolutely blown away by these speakers is a gross understatement. They have some of the most "non speaker-like" sound I've ever experienced. Nothing sounds as if it's actually coming from the speaker; a truly amazing feat indeed. The small 8" subwoofer is exceptionally powerful, pumping out enormous amounts of bass when decoding Dolby TruHD or DTS-HD Master soundtracks from Blu-ray discs. The ProCinema 800s continue to impress me with each new listening experience.
I've waited for these speakers far too long, and they'll stay a part of my home system for many years to come. I congratulate your company for creating an affordable (and beautiful) system with such breathtaking sound.
You've succeeded in making me a Definitive Technology convert for life.
The guitars were 'in the room.' Definitive speakers are just incredible to me.

Nearly 15 years ago, I went to the local high end audio store to audition speakers for my first home theater system. I listened carefully, switching between many different brands of speakers, and without question, there was something special about the Definitives. I was drawn to the BP8's, which created a truly lifelike soundstage-I closed my eyes, and I really experienced what reviewers mean when they say it sounded like the band was in the room. I had to have them, along with a C1 center, BPX surrounds, and a PowerField 15 subwoofer.
In the interest of keeping my story short and sweet, I will say this —15 years later, wife and child, I just came home with a new ProCinema 800 system, which is set up in my bedroom along with StudioMonitor 450s, which are my home theater basement set up. I spent several hours listening to jazz, acoustic, and R&B on the ProCinema 800 system, and as small as they are, the sound was huge, coherent. The guitars were "in the room." Definitive speakers are just incredible to me. The engineering and technology that go into them are clearly evident in their utter musicality. I am so grateful to this company for creating these speakers. They get me excited to listen to music, movies, anything. As a top level hairdresser in Manhattan, I've recommended them more times than I can count to clients and friends, and those who have followed through on my advice, have been blown away at their openness. I am a little obsessed with your product, I will admit, and I'm fine with that!
Thank you again, and I look forward to future upgrades
