Hi Nomad,

The best match would be two more PC2000's left and right, but most of us live happily with speakers L/C/R that are not identical. I have ran my PC2000 flanked by PM1000's and BP8's and while the BP8's are bipolar and have the bigger bipolar soundfield and much more bass than the PM1000's and PC2000, they all sound very matched to me. I haven't heard the SM55, but I'll assume that it be similar to the PM1000, but would have a fuller sound.

If you want to share what you want from the system and what you will be listening to along with info about your room we may be able to offer further advice.

Hello,
I bought the ProCinema 600 5.1 speakers and connected them to my Marantz NR1603 reciver. However I have some questions regarding the most optimal crossover settings with this particular model. I used the recommended setup connecting the FL and FR output from the receiver to the sub and from the sub to the front speakers. In addition, I also connected the LFE channel via the RCA cable per the manual optional suggestion. I set the sub volume on the side of the subwoofer to 12 o'clock and the low-pass filter on the back somewhere between 10-12 o'clock as suggested in the manual. Then I ran Audyssey on the avr. On my avr the settings are as follows - front speakers set to "large" center and surround are "small" and subwoofer to "yes". Subwoofer Mode set to LFE and LPF for LFE set to 120hz. The crossover for both the center and surround were set at 150hz. Here are my questions:

1. Is 150hz optimal crossover value for the center and surround on this model or should I go lower to 120 or maybe even 80? I've seen people recommend 120hz for the 600 model but also have heard that 80hz is the THX recommended. So what would be recommended for the center and surround on pc600: 80, 120 or 150?

2. Is the manual correct stating that I should have the low-pass filter on the back between 10-12 o'clock (80hz)? I've also seen on the prosub 800 manual a recommendation for 2 o'clock setting (120hz). Which one would you recommend for the pc600: 10-12 (80hz) or 2 (120hz) o'clock for the low-pass filter on the back of the sub?

Now, I'm aware that these settings depend on personal preference and I should experiment with them but I'd like to start with an overal general/manufacturer recommendation for this particular model and work my way from there.

Thank you!

Thanks again for the reply. The advice from you, and many others on these forums is well-appreciated by people like myself who are just learning the do's and don'ts in this field. Have a nice trip!
Best,
Rich[/quote Thanks Rich, I am having a great trip. The Philippine HiFi Show this weekend was fun for sure. Our distributor here is PowerTrip (really good guys) and they had 2 rooms, one of which was devoted to DT.
Let us know how it turns out with your install OK? Best, Joe

Hello Nomad, I always like floor-standing speakers of good quality if they are an option. Lots of folks buy bookshelves and on/wall or stand models, and the ones you are looking at sound great. But a good sized cabinet can afford some benefits for the designers / engineers in terms of efficiency and / or deep bass response, so if floorstanders are an option, check them out. I hope this helps - best, Joe

Hello Vradev,
1. I would suggest setting the fronts to "small". The large setting is intended for more bass-capable speakers than the ProCinema 600's.
2. While the THX standard is 80 Hz, again, that's a starting point. For large and very bass-capable speakers like our Mythos towers, most folks would set it even lower or go "large". But for a smaller cabinet speaker like the PC 600 series, 120 or 150 is a better bet. Try each and see which sounds better in your room.
3. In a home theater with the receiver's crossover set, you don't need to also set the sub crossover at the same point. I suggest dialing the sub's crossover all the way up which will pretty much take the sub's internal crossover out of the picture. The crossover on a sub is really intended for use with 2 channel receivers that may not have any internal crossover settings.
I hope this helps, and thank you for buying DT - best, Joe

Same here but I'm using Nr 1402
1. For center I prefer 100hz , surround 100hz, front speaker full range
This is my set up
I'm using same speaker connection like you do

Speaker config
front large, center small, surround, and sub yes

Bass management : LFE 120Hz

Center 100hz & surround 100hz

Speaker channel ( depend on your room)
Front n center +2
Surr +0

How do the Pro Monitor 55's compare to the Pro 1000? I have limited space for some models of floor standing units.Probably the BP6 would fit he best.Thanks for the info Joe.

Hi Nomad, we sell lots of both speakers. The ProMonitor 1000 has the more compact dimensions that make it a great choice for mounting on the wall, and if you don't have room for stands or floor standing speakers it is the right pick. The SM 55 is a bookshelf speaker, and while you can mount it on a shelf that you've installed in the wall, it will probably work best on a stand. If you can do either one I would pick the SM on a stand for sonics. The ProMonitor 1000 is a really cool look though. I hope this helps - best, Joe

A easy one is to put a thick area rug down to help absorb reflections. The room a speaker is in has a great impact on the sound you hear.

Best Buy was running a special for the Denon AVR2113CI and the DefTech Procinema 600 package with 250W Prosub 600 (5.1 setup) for $1000 total. I impulsively bought it and now I have a few questions :-)...

They packaged them together so I assume that they would pair together well, but I want to make sure the 95w per channel from the receiver isn't going to have any trouble powering this system....

Next I am thinking that IF i have enough power, is it worth going to 7.1? I am putting this in my basement and the room is 30ft deep by 18ft wide but the couch and speakers will all be in the front 12 ft of the room. If I go to 7.1 would it be worth adding the promonitor 800 for the front and using the 4 600's for the remaining?

Finally I'd love to get everyone's opinion on wall plates and speaker wire. I have always used Monster (I was a BBY employee and got great discounts back in the day) but I don't know if I should go that route now of there is something better in-wall?..

Sorry one last thought...I am about to start TV/Projector shopping...and I know there are better threads to post this on..but if you have any rave reviews about something 70 inches or greater that you want to fill me in on...please feel free!

Thanks for all the help!

Hi JW, 1. Yes, the Denon is a good match power-wise for the ProCinema 600 system. 2. Will it be enough to fill your room... that's hard to say. It is a large room, and folks' tastes vary widely regarding volume. What is a good volume for one listener is way too quiet for another, so you'll have to try it and see. 3. In a room as large as yours, yes, I would say that giving the 800's a try for fronts and going 7.1 is a great idea. Even in a smaller room you'll notice a more realistic movie experience. 4. Wall plates and speaker wire are a nice clean way to go about it. There are many wire brands out there and hopefully some of our pals will chime in. 5. I hope you are looking at projector and screen combinations. It's incredible what you can get in a modestly priced projector nowadays! Three grand used to buy you a washed-out pile of junk, picture - wise... but now you can get amazing gear for the money. 6. It's true - Yessongs, Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore, UFO Strangers in the Night, Thin Lizzy Live n Dangerous, and Genesis Second's Out are all amazing live albums. Oops... you didn't ask about that...Best, Joe

Joe -

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I haven't been looking at projectors simply because the last time I gave them an honest look they were 3k for an old washed out crappy picture! Are they really that good now? The wall this is going on is pretty big, I thought that a 65 was going to be to big...but after cutting out a piece of butcher paper the size of the 65 (yes im a dork)...it is to small...

Would love to do a projector if the quality was awesome. I thought about going up to a 70 or 80" but from what I am reading the picture quality isn't what it should be... Any specific Projectors you recommend? I'd love to be under 3k for the projector and screen if at all possible, but I am willing to spend a little more if I have to to get it right...

Hi JW, yes, projectors have improved incredibly in the last 5-10 years. You will get a big picture that looks great. The old washed out thing that you got for $3k is long gone. Make sure you get a nice screen too, as those really help the picture quality. I am sorry it took so long to reply, but I was out on vacation...Best, Joe

Hello, I have a question about the definitive 60's pairing up with the Yamaha rx-v467. I don't fully understand the concept of ohm output. I understand the lower the ohms the more output power.

I believe the default for my yamaha is set to 8 ohms. Wouldn't this work fine as is or do I need to change the Yamaha to 6 ohm mode? (onlu reason i ask is I read about someone's reciever overheating until they changed it to 6 ohms)

Specs for the 60's

Center Speaker: Compatible with 4 – 8 ohm outputs

Surround Speaker: Compatible with 4 – 8 ohm outputs

Sorry if this is too much of a noob question, been out of it for a while....

thanks for any help!

Hi Gary, I think you will be fine. Impedance is never a constant with speakers. It fluctuates with the signal. To ease your mind, you may want to check in with a Yamaha thread though, to investigate the issue of the receiver overheating until it was set to 6 ohms. Maybe there is something going on with that particular model receiver. Best, Joe

Could you guys/gals kindly recommend me a sub for my brothers def tech set up. He has 1000 fronts/center and 800 surrounds. Not sure which sub will complement his setup. He has a Yamaha Rx-v663. Not exactly sure what the size of his living room is but my guess would be 20'x20'. Trying to get him a sub for xmas or his bday next month in January. Thanks!!

Hi there. Here's a pic of my living room layout. I have a yamaha rx-a2000 and a lg 60lm7200 mounted above the fireplace. I'm looking at 4 definitive pro cinema 1000, pro center 1000, and a prosub 800. Do you think it's a big deal that it's not a prosub 1000? I only use the setup for movies.

Hello,

I heard a lot about definitive technology speakers and I am planning to buy one 5.1 home theater speaker system.

I need your advice in selecting the surround speakers, subwoofer and amplifier.

My room size is 22ft (len) x 11ft (wid) x 10ft (ht). Mostly I will be using for watching movies and TV shows

A/V receiver I am planning is either Denon AVR-1713 or AVR-2113. The Watts/Channel for 1713 is 80W and for 2113 is 95W. Do I need to go for higher wattage or 1713 with 80W will be enough to get optimum performance from my speaker options below.


Option 1:-
2 x Studio Monitor 45 - Front L/R
1 x ProCenter 2000 - Center
1 x Super Cube 4000 - subwoofer
2 x ProMonitor 800 - Back L/R

Option 2:-
2 x Studio Monitor 45 - Front L/R
1 x ProCenter 2000 - Center
1 x Prosub 1000 - subwoofer
2 x ProMonitor 800 - Back L/R

Option 3:-
2 x ProMonitor 1000 - Front L/R
1 x ProCenter 2000 - Center
1 x Prosub 1000 -subwoofer
2 x ProMonitor 800 - Back L/R

Please let me know the best configuration. I am open for your suggestion and ready to modify the configuration.

Hi SM4, that is a wide-open floor plan from the look of it. If you can go with a larger sub in that environment, by all means do so. I also always encourage folks to look at the ProCenter 2000 over the 1000, as dialog is such a key part of movies. I hope this helps - best regards, Joe

Hello Saju, I really like option #1. Regarding the power, it's tough to say whether someone should spend more money, as yoiu know your budget better than I do, and you know what your listening levels are better than I do. But you'll likely have the system for a long time, and quality never disappoints...best, Joe

Hi Sach, here's a question. Is the Pioneer 820 receiver a 5 channel receiver, or a stereo (two-channel, left and right only) receiver? If it is a five channel receiver it will work just fine with the ProCinema 800 system. Best, Joe

Much depends on the size of the room and the levels at which you want to listen. In a large room (say 6000 cubic feet) playing party music, the Pio would probably run out of power and could potentially damage itself and/or the speakers. In a smaller room (say 2000 cubic feet) playing music or movies at comfortable levels for a family group, the combination would work very well, IMO.

Speakers and amps are only two parts of a system that has three parts, the third being the room.

Thanks Joe & Rdclark,

Yes the receiver is 5.1, here is the link for details

http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-VSX-820-K-Home-Theater-Receiver/dp/B0039XQL2G

Room size is 12 x 24 which has both living area and dininig area, i will be using a section of 12 x 14 to setup my hometheater.

I found amazon selling procinema 800 for 1000$, normally they are priced at 1200$ and I hardly see any discount on them, may be because of christmas.

http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Technology-Pro-Cinema-800/dp/B001JQZXCO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355425118&sr=1-1&keywords=procinema+800

What else you experts would advise, planning to run wires under carpet, can you folks suggest what else I need to take care of, please suggest some good quality wires, plugs etc etc.

Cheers !!

Hello DefTech people... I just ordered a pair of Promonitor 800 speakers. They will be a part of a budget 2.1 TV setup at our other residence. I had to keep the speaker size small due to WAF concerns. They'll be driven by a Yamaha V371 receiver and supplemented by a Velodyne VX-11 sub. I've never used such small speakers as L/R mains before, so I hope I'm not too disappointed.

You won't be if you compare them to similar size speakers in that same space. If you compare the sound to some monster towers in a smaller space, then sure you might be.

I'm buying some ProMonitor 100's off of craigslist and the guy is missing the pedestal stands for the 100's. Does anyone have any that they are not using that they would like to sell?

Anyone have an opinion on the older ProMonitor 100's and ProCenter 100 MK II models vs. buying a new Procinema 600 set? I'm thinking even with the newer passive radiators in the 600's the 100's would have a fuller sound.
