Sounds like a great sounding system for the money. I love Definitive myself. But may I recommend a SuperCube I or II? These subs are very reasonable and powerful. I have the old model (PF-1500). But, I love it!! I may decide later and get the Reference Cube (1,800W). Whoa!!

i'd pass on DT. these don't stand the test of time (regardless of what the magazine ads say).

Please disregard the above statement, as it is absolute nonsense.

haha.

stand the test of time? what the hell does that mean? its not my favorite speaker, but they are pretty well built and are a decent speaker for the money. if you are doing HT with them, they are pretty heard to beat.

If you haven't seen it, here is a review of them by Julian Hirsch in Stereo Review. As to whether you're a bipolar kind of guy and if they work in your room is another matter all together.

Looks like that's somewhere around 15% off msrp if my math is correct, not bad I guess. I was able to get my Def Tech setup for 25% off msrp but, I'm not sure if that is possible everywhere or not. Try a little more haggling perhaps. Also, as others have stated, rethink the sub. At least go up to a supercube model, or maybe even something from SVS.
