The bomb or at least loud enough and realistitc enough to be one!
By Greg McGowan
I had a four year old CLR2002 as my center. Two Mythos Two speakers for the sides and four Studio Monitor 350s for the surrounds side and back which I bought at Magnolia in 2008. The Definitive Technology C/L/R 2002 Speaker out powered the other speakers. I was thinking the CLR2002 sounded so good why not try Definitive Technology CS-8080HD Powered Subwoofer as a center, buy one more CLR2002 and use those two as front left/right speakers replacing the Mythos Two speakers. So, the CS-8080HD is my new center. I also bought the Definitive Technology SR-8080BP Bipolar Surround Speakers for my left/right surround to keep the same level of quality speaker cones and power handling and kept my two Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 350 Speakers for my rears. Replaced my 12" down firing JBL Subwoofer with two Definitive Technology SuperCube III 120v Subwoofers and it is awesome to have room filling TIGHT base that is accurate, precise, and delivered right on time to your body... (These Subs are surprisingly small.)In short. I couldn't be more pleased. I have a dedicated home music system with four Martin Logan Requests and a Theater Center (all electrostatic) as well as their 1800 watt three speaker sub and the Definitive system above sounds just as good 'for movies.' For music it rocks as well but for movies cones in general work better than electrostatics. This system has not failed me or disappointed me in the least. I recommend all of these speakers without hesitation. I don't think for the money you can do better though sonically the room, and each person's tastes, like speakers for their own reasons so you may not have the same experience but after going through Magnolia at Best Buy and a few other local places I just added on to the speakers I had bought a few years back. I'm using a Yamaha Receiver (see my review) which works well (no clipping and I can turn it all the way up and not blow the speakers which is good having an 18 year old kid around...) and an OPPO Blu-ray player (the best ever so see my review) along with a 92" Mitsubishi DLP TV (awesome!!!).Just for some balance, other than the 8800 series from Definitive I'm not really impressed by any of their other systems. They all seem cheap and tinny and weigh next to nothing implying no large magnetic coil system. While the non 8800 stuff is "older" sometimes that is a good thing so don't rule them out and you can still find them new for cheap.Now, I just hope I don't shake my house down or tick off my neighbors. Just as an FYI I still haven't found a better studio monitor so I just bought four more of the 350s, two for my office and two for my bedside, as for the price and quality/weight I don't think you can find better.I hope this review was helpful so please let me know if it was or wasn't so I know if I should keep writing these or not. Good luck with your search for perfection... - Greg

When I first plugged it in and turned on a movie I was highly disappointed at the muddy overly bass sound of peoples voices coming out of this speaker. I now have the bass dial turned down to about 30% and now I love this center channel. It made a huge difference in the voice quality and overall sound. I cant imagine anyone having the dial turned up anywhere near the max. The bass is so heavy it actually made the speaker box vibrate on my console. With the dial turned back to around 30% it sounds wonderful. I now can hear midbass I never heard before on any other center. Blu-rays sound amazing. At $999 I feel its priced rather well. I heard the 8060 at best buy and I didnt love it so I went for the 8080 and im thrilled with it.
