Good with movies but you need a powered subwoofer to get full range of sounds. Very nice looking. Very flat on music, would not purchase if you are an avid music listener. I would buy B&W's, Polk Audio Tsi's, or Energy Eclipse for those purposes. There are much better for music.

Value for price: I have purchased 2 of these speakers. For only $440 (plus tax) I was able to get full sound. Compared to the DefTech 8040 and 8060 tower speakers, they are lacking a deep rich bass. Other than this, they are identical sound in the mid-range and the high-end. Couple this speaker with a good Subwoofer and you can do away with the higher end tower speakers. So for the price, you get a good deal.

I currently have 6.1 surround sound in the basement of the ProCinema 600 + one Pro-800 monitor as surround back. It's an amazing system driven by a Denon 3806 receiver. However, a couple of comments before I get to the Pro-Cinema 1000 review (as many are probably reading this are probably looking at different models#. The Pro-Cinema 600 is fantastic, great sound and plenty of power but it's in a small room - 8 x 14. The speakers are great for movies and gaming, and the surround sound effects are fantastic. The speakers are very clear and crisp. However, 2 complaints: 1# the sound could sometimes be classified as "high" or "tinny", meaning the base sometimes gets lost. However, the clarity is great and once you get the receiver settings right, it can make up for this. Movies are great! 2# the main drawback - music. If you like to listen to music through your system, these are not the speakers for you. The Denon I have listed above is a decent mid-range receiver and these speakers just can't handle it - regardless of where you set the crossover frequency ... which bring me to the Pro-1000's

These speakers are great! It is like hearing music I'm very familiar with for the first time. They are very clear and responsive. Movies and tv are awesome too! I can't say enough. I listened to full sized speakers that were seven times the price and heard little difference. I have them paired with the pro cinema 800s and couldn't be happier. They look great too. If these speakers are in your budget, get them!

I went to 5 Best Buys to test out the sound quality of the speakers, I read many online reviews, Best Buy said I had 90 days to return the speakers so I bought them to replace my Boston Acoustics. Now my son and his friends say they hear sounds in their XBOX games that they never heard before. I highly recommend these speakers.

I wanted to upgrade my older polk speakers because they didnt sound very good for music.I've had def tech speakers before so I knew of thier quality.I have them connected to a pioneer 125 watt a/v receiver and a polk psw 111 subwoofer.At first the sound on music was good but not great but after about a week of breaking in they really opened up.the sound on music was amazing it sounded like I had a room full of speakers when actually only the front l/r were on,The clarity was very impressive.On movies it was even better.It doesnt seem to matter how much power you send them they can handle it(very impressive indeed).If you want a good set of speakers for music this is a good choice,great movie sound is a bonus.

First, and foremeost, if you are in the market for speakers, go out and listen if possible. Compare under like conditions, but as I wrote in my summary, do not pas up listening to these.
