Definitive Technology ProCinema 600

Really good speakers for the price.

Pros:

Cons:

I think it's the best sounding speakers I have ever owned and haven't had one problem with them yet and don't see any happening

Pros:

Cons:

Great quality sound for decent sized room on somewhat of a budget. Could have spent double what i spent for likely the same qualify. Easy setup. Only flaw i have found is 2nd channel when playing outdoor speakers only have capability to play Radio on that channel have tried and tried to get the capability to play other sources but wont give any options. If that is just me not understanding the setup then i would say this is 5 out of 5 stars but as it does not seem to be a function i give it 4

Pros: Sound Quality is top notch. Ease of setup for main surround area.

Cons: 2nd channel lacking options other than Radio source.

Crutchfield response on 7/26/2017 Thanks for your review, Chris. We ran this by our tech support team, and they sent along this tip: Some A/V receivers can only play analog sources and the tuner in the 2nd zone. If you are using other digital sources, it may worth trying to connect them using analog RCAs (if possible) to see if that allows you to play those sources.

very good starter home theater package, perfect base for a guest room. I upgraded the center channel to a ProCenter 1000, added ProMonitor 800s for the mains, & a ProSub 800 for a second subwoofer, and voila ! , there is a 7.2 system. sounds fine. I recommend this system.

Pros: easy set-up & easy to upgrade as Def. Tech has matching components.

Cons: recommend using banana plugs as straight wire hook-up is difficult especially when speakers are wall-mounted.

Great set of speakers. Really handle the power from the surround receiver. Much better than the Sonys I used to have.

Pros: The subwoofer vibrated the center speaker off the TV stand. Had to put a non-slip pad under it.

Cons: Bass sounds good during music & DVD movies, but I have to turn it up during TV.

Amazing product, the sound and quality of Definitive Technology speakers blew me away. I have had Bose for the last 10 years, and was doubtful anything could compare, I was wrong, goodbye Bose hello Definative Technology.

Pros:

Cons:

The surround system I bought has great sound and was easy to set up. The original sub woofer did not work, but the Crutchfield team immediately sent me a new one and made the return as painless as possible.

Pros: Good clear sound for the price. Crutchfield stands by the products they sell.

Cons: The original sub woofer did not work.

Sound clarity is very good and feeling like watching movie in real theater. Crutchfield delivery and customer support awesome

Pros:

Cons:

great price, product not in use yet

Pros:

Cons:

Great sounding speakers

Pros: Sounds nice clear good for the price

Cons: Had this system for 4 to 5 months and a sub went out today been reading reviews and this sub has many problems

Really like these speakers. Realy good for the price point. Sub can be a bit buzzy if you crank it to much.

Pros:

Cons:

We purchased the ProCinema 600 had it for a month and the subwoofer blew. My husband thought that was a bit strange. We actually purchased ours from the local big box store and when we did it was not on sale so I can tell you he was not happy. He did take the subwoofer back and had them take one from a new set and swap it out and he wasent leaving until they gave him a new one. That was the first thing we ever purchased there and it was expensive so for it to go bad like that in a month was not good. So we're hoping that we just got a bad one.

Pros: Small and nice

Cons: The subwoofer went bad within a month

I downsized from bookshelf sized speakers 5 1/2 inch woofers and 10 inch sub to this so I can hang every thing on the wall and hide all the wires. If you listen to music alot I think you would be happier with larger speakers these sound thin to me but for TV and movies these are very good in a 12X18 room and I cannot tell any difference using a smaller sub. The sub is a nice size and i am able to hide it next to a back corner of a sofa a 10 inch sub was nearly like and end table. Center channel speaker handles voice very well. I hung all on walls using a Rocketfish brackets 5 piece I used 4 of the adjustable brackets to hang the fronts and surrounds but the center required 2 brackets, there were enough parts for non adjustable pieces that I was able to drill out 2 pieces and put in 1/4 bolts through the back that came with the brackets you will need 2 more hollow wall anchors to complete this. I dont think you would gain much buying the much more expensive Def Tech hangers. It is a lot of work to pull all of the wires through the walls/floors/ceiling I did not obtain price for installation but I think for the time it took me it would had been worth paying for it.

Pros: Small clean looking installion.

Cons: Mais and surrounds have small woofers that sound a little thin for music.

Great speakers with great sound

Pros: Easy hook up with use of banana plugs

Cons:

These are a great set up especially for the price, the 8'' subwoofer works great but id rather have a 10'' or 12'' now that i have it set up. overall i cannot complain they sound great. my room is 24x30 and it fills the room with sound. my neighbors may hate me before the year is over.

Pros: sleek design, small speakers that pack a punch.

Cons: Subwoofer would be better.

Great equipment, works just as advertised!

Pros:

Cons:

I bought this setup on the recommendation of an audiophile friend. Overall, it is a great package if you get it on sale. Excellent clarity in the high/mid-range, especially for movies. Not the best for music, but since I'm generally running lossy audio through it, not a huge deal. The only problem is with the subwoofer. The first one that came with the system had some serious sleep/wake issues, so Crutchfield sent me a new one. This one WILL wake up, but only if the gain on my receiver is set to +8 dB minimum (range for the RX-v679 is -10 to +10). This makes using the YPAO feature of the receiver trickier than it should be, since I have to manually bump up the .1 channel on the receiver, and then turn it back down on the subwoofer.

Pros: Great for movies and TV. Small and light satellites. Excellent vocal reproduction.

Cons: ProSub 600 is kind of janky.

I purchased a scratch and dent set, they sound very good, but the center channel speaker grill has two small holes and the sub woofer has a dent in the top of the cabinet. I spoke with a Crutchfield team member and they stated that they would handle my concern.

Pros: Speaker quality seams very good, and the sound quality also.

Cons: I feel confident Crutchfield's will remedy my concerns about the cosmetic issues.

Beautiful speaker design and excellent details. The sound and depth is incredible. I am using in a room 15 x 12 in combination with Onkyo TX-NR747. I am not a professional sound Engineer but for me this simple combination produces great sound. I am using since 2 week and I am enjoying every single day when I play PS4, movie or music. It is fantastic, am very happy with my purchase. Everything is working fine. Thanks Crutchfield...

Pros: Small design but great sound. Construction and color details are perfect. I selected the white color and looks great for my room. Also you can detach the speaker cover to match the color of your room with white and black.

Cons: None

I originally purchased the 400 in the same series. My wife said she would rather have a white set of speakers hanging on the wall. So I worked with a fantastic guy On the phone who help me out. Install the speakers within two days and was very surprised how much better they sounded then the four series. Especially the base. Very satisfied

Pros: Small size large sound and the base is much better

Cons: none so far

5- excellent sound and depth is incredible compared to old set.

Pros: Clean, crisp, quick and easy to setup

Cons: None so far

I have been using this system for about 4 months and here is my review: There are different sound systems in this series that performance really well than this, but based on my budget and space, I have decided to go with this based on other reviews. This is a premium Audio system which does its job well. Before started to experience the full potential, we need to follow the instruction manual and should go with Option 1 method setup(which has some additional wiring though) and I have set the crossover frequency to 60 Hz, both in the receiver and the Sub., it defaults to 80Hz. Subwoofer is left with little over half of the bass knob. Ipod/USB/Mp3, Online Music: Sounds really good, clean and crisp and no distortion. DVD/Bluray/Audio/Movies: Sounds fantastic with surround setup. The bass is tight and not boomy. Previously with 80Hz crossover, Bass was overpowerring and it takes more frequency bands(terrific experience was playing Iron Man 3, after the movie, I realized that my Subwoofer was moved out of its location). Once done with a optimum setup, all the frequency bands gets distributed evenly across all the 5 channels based on their filters. To really needs to experience the good sound need to sit in the sweet spot(preferably in the centre). I bought it in a deal for $550 with $300 receiver, for the price, getting a premium audio is great and enjoyable. If anybody is like me with budget/space issue, I highly recommend this, but if you can spend $300 m

Pros: small, stylish, sounds crystal clear.

Cons: run little more wires than usual.

Spent almost 5 Gs less than a year ago building a 7 in 1 Martin Logan home theater for my living and dining quarters . Decided to put together a little some um some um for my bedroom , called on Crutchfield again and they answered the bell .Definitive 600 and set of 1000 for the fronts to complete another perfect 7in 1 . The best part is its really hard to tell the difference until you turn it up really loud.

Pros: In one word SUPERB . In two words SUPERB CLEAN .

Cons: None

We did our homework and listened to a lot of high end speakers before purchasing the ProCinema 600 speakers. For the money (purchased on sale), these speakers are virtually impossible to beat. They sounded good in the listening room at the local store and even better once we got them home, calibrated them (Denon AVR-X2200 receiver) and they had a few hours of "break-in". Awesome!

Pros: Great sound and value for the price.

Cons: ProMount 80 speaker mounting kits are additional (3 pairs required). Seems like much less of a value than the speakers but the mounts are also exceptional.

these are exceptional speakers

Pros: excellent speakers even my wife enjoys them

Cons: none

Surround sound is amazing, perfectly sized for my 20 by 22 family room.

Pros: Depth of sound, deep bass

Cons: None

Sound is very good from the speakers. The subwoofer sounds very good as well but can distort at higher volumes. This may be due to the receiver settings, however i did use the built in Audysee sound set up on my Denon reciever. I was very impressed by the quailty of sound that the speakers produce for their small size. I'm happy with my decision to go with the Def Tech over other speakers that were around the $1,200 price point.

Pros: Size, sound quality, bass radiators give advantages of larger speakers, quality of build

Cons: Sub can distort at high volumes (not really a con given the price), kind of weird wireing for front speakers.

Very clear and clean. Set up with this speaker is denon AVR X2100W.

Pros: The speakers are small enough with incredibly clean sound. After listening to This system, it convinced my sister to get rid of her old 5 speaker bose system.

Cons: The sub does move around/ bounce on my tile floor if the bass is set too high. I'll just have to figure out to put weights on top of it.

Do these speakers out-perform towers? Probably not, but given they are so small, they sound really great. The system as a whole performs as expected from many of the other reviews. The blend between the subs and front L/R speakers is very nice when setup running through the subwoofer as recommended. Performance on movies is very good, performance on music is good, but not as good as movies. I have this paired with a new Onkyo 737, and I'm very happy with both.

Pros:

Cons:

Great speakers and great clear sound coming from these small speakers , the subwoofer is in a class by itself . Not to mention the reasonable price .

Pros: Saves space and not even noticeable especially when wall mounted.

Cons: none

For how small this product is I was very impressed on the sound it put out. I put this in a 20'by 20' living room and it fills the room perfectly. The subwoofer it a powerful little guy. For everyday listening I had to turn it down below half way.

Pros:

Cons:

I bought these to replace a Polk sound bar and subwoofer. The sound is very good and professional quality from these small speakers. I don't hear any limitations that lesser speakers have. And the center speaker makes dialog clearer and the subwoofer makes movie much more exciting. I also bought the Sony A/V receiver and they work well together to fill the room. The speakers themselves are solid and heavy but still easy to mount on the walls. If only they could magically work without running all those wires.

Pros: High quality and great sound. Surround effects.

Cons: none.

I enjoy home audio, but I wouldn't describe myself as a true audiophile. This is the first time in 18+ years since I have bought surround sound speakers, and I am very happy I did. Bass is an incredible upgrade from what I had previously. Other speakers are also significantly cleaner/crisper than old unit I had.

Pros: Nice discount "packaged" with Onkyo TX-NR838 system I also purchased. Incredible bass, and overall encompassing surround sound.

Cons: not cheap, but quality reflects the price paid. No mounting brackets included (state for future buyers' awareness, not necessarily a "con".)

I had recently come into a $500 gift certificate and was looking to dispose of it so I decided to upgrade my LR home theater system. I bought the Def Teck Pro Cinema 600 which qualifed for a $250 discount if purchased along with a qualifying receiver. I chose the Onkyo TRNX-646. When I called I questoned the advisor on the speakers asking if the DefTechs were that much better than the Polk TL250 or the TL1600 which in similarly priced he said go with the DT`s. The receiver is on backorder so upon arrival of the Def Tech`s I connected everything to my existing Sony HTIB. The improvment is astonishing. I did buy these with the available speaker stands (4) which I think are overly expensive for what they are but necessary in my application. Overall I am pleased with what I now have and am still looking forward to completing the system once the receiver arrives. The sub provides awesome home shaking bass and the center & satellite speakers are clear and plenty loud. This upgrade has me now very anxious for the receivers arrival. On a side note: The center & satellite speakers are finished in a beautiful piano black while the sub is not, it has a plain black matte finish which is not a big deal for me since it`s tucked away but I was surprised when unpacking it so I thought I`d mention it.

Pros: Good sounding speakers Easy connectivity with banana plugs (be sure to get yourself some) Currently offered on special ( I otherwise would not have purchased these)

Cons: None really

The satellite speakers deliver clear mid range sound and can handle ample power.

Pros: Overall great quality

Cons: Nine

Speakers sound great. Some of the VERY brief instructions were very confusing.

Pros: sound great

Cons: instructions confusing.

Overall, this is a great set of speakers. The quality of construction is great and aesthetically pleasing. The sound is very clear at all levels (low, mid, and high). Price is great for the the sound quality.

Pros: Excellent sound. Well made.

Cons: The wall mounting brackets are not included with the speaker system as I found out after delivery. They are a separate purchase and a very pricey.

Sound great and look nice mounted on the wall.

Pros: Great sound for a small speaker and look great

Cons: None

La construcción de todos los elementos es de alta calidad y el diseño es atractivo. La forma en que están diseñadas las bocinas resulta en una reproducción muy clara y precisa del sonido, sin ningún tipo de distorción. Es increible la potencia del "subwoofer" el cual tampoco distorciona el sonido, aun en alto volumen. The construction of all the elements is of high quality and the design is attractive. The way the speakers are designed results in a very clear and precise reproduction of sound, without any kind of distortion. The power of the subwoofer is incredible and it doesn't distort the sound either, even at high volume.

Pros: Construcción, diseño y desempeño Construction, design and performance

Cons: Ninguno hasta ahora. None so far.

Recently purchased for home theater and music purposes. Speakers appear well made, Nice weight to them. Was very impressed with the sound quality - absolutely crystal clear. The lows from the subwoofer are not room shaking but sufficient and impressive for the price range.

Pros:

Cons:

Fantastic speakers. Speakers put out great quality sound. Would recommend and buy again!

Pros:

Cons: None

These speakers are great - small and not in the way and the sound is as much as we want or more. The one speaker had a broken foot and it was replaced quickly - set up was fine - took some effort as I expected - well worth it!

Pros: Just about everything - fills the room with music and is not stretching the system!

Cons: None for me.

I'm still working on levels and placement. Woofer output seems nonexistent so may have to contact Crutchfield support.

Pros:

Cons:

Excellent and awesome speakers. I'm enjoying sound.

Pros:

Cons:

I bought the "package" of speakers because it was cheaper than the individual speakers. I am glad I did. My purpose was to add the side and back speakers to my front, center and sub speakers (Martin Logan). The Definitive sub is much better than the Martin Logan. All speakers (except the cheap ones) needs several hours of break-in. These speakers sounded great from the beginning. After more than a week I can turn them up. I watched Band of Brothers. What a difference these made especially during the the Battle of the Bulge shelling. These speakers also add to the surround sound music.

Pros: The regular speakers are well made and heavy for their size. They sound good from the beginning and get better with use. I was pleasantly surprised by the subwoofer. It sounds better than the larger Martin Logan subwoofer that I have and it is easier to adjust the loudness.

Cons: The bare wire connections are the only down side. When hanging these on the wall it is impossible to use the bare wire connection. Good banana plugs are recommended. Do not buy cheap banana plugs - buy the good ones with 2 screws to secure the speaker wire. I made the mistake of buying the cheap ones from HDepo and wasted several hours trying to attach them. Went to Lowes and bought good ones - no problem. Crutchfield sells good banana plugs at the same or lower price.

Looked at several 5.1 systems before deciding to purchase this system. Set up was very easy and the sound quality is excellent.

Pros: Ease of Set up, sound quality, made in the USA

Cons: No complaints yet.

Easy to setup and delivers a very great sound for movies, music... Aesthetically very nice and the size adequate...met my expectations.

Pros:

Cons:

I've been an audiophile for a long time and I was a little skeptical about this brand, mostly because I've never had the chance to hear the quality in person. I've started documenting myself and I found the Crutchfield team and their website descriprions very helpful. I've received the shipment very quickly. I've set up this home theater with a Marantz NR1604 A/V (I have a 70 inches TV). The front satellites are 200 inches away from the aural area, the rear one are about 150 inches away. The central speaker is 155 inches away. The subwoofer about 180 inches away. Because I've gone for a 7.1 system I've also purchase separately 2 Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 and placed them at 170 inches from the aural point. At my first test I was impressed with the quality, the crystal clear sound and the power of the whole system. I've played Lord of the Ring (Two Towers battle scenes),Batman Dark Knit Rises (the final battles chapters) and Star Trek Into Darkness , blu rays, and my face had a smile throughout the scenes. The subwoofer is amazing. I've a large tv room and I was worried the volume and sound quality to be affected but not. I would suggest this system to anyone that has a medium/large tv room (I would think most of homes between 900 to 2500 sqf, or a small/medium apartment, or open concepts living/dining rooms.

Pros: The price, the color choice, black or white. I've purchased it white because my walls and ceiling are white, they easily fade in the background.

Cons: The central speaker is not powerful enough for a room as big as mine, no matter how much I played with the receiver settings the dialogues were always a bit too low for my taste. So I ended up purchasing a ProCenter 1000 extra central speaker to run in place of the Pro600 one and, yes, I can tell the difference. It's clear, if you want louder volume you sure need larger speakers.

It was between Bose 10 acoustimass and these. I have a number of Bose products and Bose is normally where I start when seeking audio equipment. It was a tough decision and really came down to price. After finishing our basement and looking for places to cut costs this made the decision for me. I must say I cannot tell the difference in sound quality although the Definitie seem to have a little fuller sound (not over powered).

Pros: Great Sound

Cons: None at this time

wasn't even planning on buying but since I was upgrading receiver thought I'd go ahead. DIDN"T KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSING!

Pros: crisp driven sound yet rich bass

Cons: none at all

Definitive Technology's customer support is A+. Unfortionatly, I went through 3 Prosub's in a month. The amplifier built in kept going bad. Otherwise, it's a very good product and I ended up going with the Procinema 1000 surround speakers and a Klipsh 450 Subwoofer.

Pros: A+ Customer Service, Built like a rock, sounded great while it worked

Cons: Subwoofer amplifier kept going bad, replaced 3x in one month.

Set up with the Onkyo TX-NR818 receiver. These sound amazing. I had a couple friends over the other night and one of them said the room is so full of sound it's like wearing headphones. You can feel the movie. I'm hearing things in music that I've never heard before.

Pros: Small. Easy to set up. Amazing sound.

Cons: NOTHING!!!

Great speaker system. I have a medium sized room and the sound is just amazing for both music and movies. Have the speakers paired with an Onkyo TX-NR515 receiver. the bass response is outstanding.

Pros: Great bass, amazing movie and music reproduction.

Cons: Could not hook them up according to the preferred method in the instructions. Went with the second method and would like to know why the other method did not work. However I have no complaint concerning the speakers.

I was looking for the cinema system, but was not sure what to get, after a long research i came across with the definitive pro600 system, it was under my budget, i saw some really good reviews from the people and visited the website for the specs, it was wonderfull specially i was looking for the subwoofer which can reach atleast 25hz and pro 600 sub go down to 22hz, at the local shop i had th demostration, and i love the sound, i got it with denon 1713 AVR. after the setup and audessy callibration i was not geting the sound i was expecting, did many settings alongwith the different crossovers but didnt work. i was about to return the system, but once again i follwed some guide lines from the internet and did the audessy setting for 6 different location in my lounge after the setup i was so amazed that what this system is capable of, i had a big smile on my face because my ear are very use to what kind of sound i want. i tried the war of the world2 the first attack with the thunder storm, the sound was unbeleivable the bass was so deep and it was only shacking my sofas and i could not even hear it or tell where its coming from. the marrige between the speakers and sub was amazing, the center channel also gives a powerfull sound and vocal is extremely clear, i listen many type of music and the defination on DD and DTS is outstanding, the auddesey have done a great job, and after the setup you can set the speakers level as per your choice.

Pros: best speakers what i was expecting the best frequency level, beautifully designed. amazing bass from the sub.

Cons: need really speacial setup to get the best sound but it does .

Its nice when you know you bought a product that is worth what you paid for it. I knew I wasnt getting the moon and the stars, but just a really nice setup for my new theater. Really happy with the results.

Pros: small design doesnt crowd the room clean sound

Cons: one came with a broken post (but Crutchfield is replaceing.

Bought these and being powered by a Yamaha 720. Nice looking speakers with plenty of setup options. Sound great for my living room and 5.1 system. Happy with the highs, lows, all around solid purchase.

Pros: Good Sound Quality, Highs, Lows, Vocals

Cons: none so far

very good sound with both movies and audio. would definitely buy again. would definitely recommend.

Pros: cost, sound, look

Cons: the only thing is that you have to buy mounts seperately.....so if you want mounts for everything add $120 to the cost of the speakers.

Purchased in March 2011, bought based on reviews from other customers. Powering with Denon AVR2311CI, sounds good for movies to about medium vol, then the sub seems to distort...sub box is low quality, seems to be made of 1/4 inch MDF at best. I was worried about the quality the minute I took the sub out of the box...not heavy enough to be for real. Not impressed listening to music with this either, yes it does sound good until I crank up the volume. My neighbor spent less than half this price on a Boston system and sounds better with music. I will move this to my basement as soon as I can afford to get somthing else. Def Tech is OK, just think this system is worth $400 at the most.

Pros: nothing

Cons: Way overpriced

The speakers represent a great value in high quality home theater speakers. I am glad I bought them. One could pay a lot more and not get better fidelity.

Pros: Superb sound, small footprint, easy placement.

Cons: What's not to love?

Sounds good so far I purchased them on 07/01/2011 and I recieved them On 07/06/2011. I have them hooked up to my Yamaha 671 that I also purchased from Crutchfield on 06/04/2011 I'm now In the process of ordering the Pro 800 For my extra back surround sound.. I also want to thank Hunter at Crutchfield for all his advise and help on turning my frontroom into the perfect movie theater.......... Thanks Hunter will be talking to you soon :)

Pros:

Cons:

Bought this for a friend. I own Definitive's powered sub towers and center channel and love them so I figured this would be great for his small home theater. The sub has amazing output. The satellites could use more upper bass/low midrange (like from 100-300Hz), but otherwise sound crystal clear. I guess the next step up (with the 4 1/2" woofers) might help some of that. Still, overall a great system and he is VERY happy with it.

Pros:

Cons:

Bought the acoustimass 5 for my sister. I didnt like the sound for $400. So her and the hubby kicked in another $400. She had limited space so after some research this was my choise. $200 less than the Bose 10 and more vercatile in my opinion. Gave her my dennon 391 a good reiciever i bought 2311ci for myself. The bass this sub puts out is crazy. Its in the corner next to the couch couldn't fit near tv. Room size 19x16. System sounds great. Multi channel stereo sounds nice and crisp. Need some more time with this system but a real quality buy. The 200 i saved not buying the bose also got her the panamax M4300 with a discount for some protection.

Pros:

Cons:

Very good sounding speakers. Full sound. I went with hookup option 1 with the optional LPF set up. Sounds amazing. Powering it with a Onkyo TX-NR708, it seems to be a great match and have expandability by purchasing additional Satellite Speakers or second subwoofer. VERY HAPPY

Pros:

Cons:

Bought this ProCinema 600 as a gift for my dad. WOW! It has ressurrected his 10 yr old Sony receiver. Nice clean sound and very good bass. I have always had a Velodyne sub system, so I was not expecting this smaller set-up to produce the sounds that it did! Very happy and impressed!

Pros:

Cons:

These speakers are very small which is the reason I original purchased them. I currently have larger surround speakers and decided to step to a smaller form factor decrease my speaker footprint. They do a much better job at reproducing sound than any type of Mirage speaker that I tried previously. They are still not as good as a larger speaker, but if you are looking for something small and need to stay within a limited budget, I would highly recommend this set, especially over a Mirage speaker.

Pros:

Cons:
