Where I Purchased – Pawn Shop
Listed Price – $200
Average Guy Hi-Fi Price Paid – $180
Condition – 90% (not counted in the Average Guy Hi-Fi score)
This set is in very good condition with some slight scratches on the gloss black finish. All grills are in great shape and all tweeters and woofers are pristine.
Quality – 7.5
These “little” speakers might look like they aren’t higher quality upon first glance but you will change your mind the first time you hold them.
The cabinets are heavy and feel very stout. The grills are nice and so are the binding posts.
Sound – 7.0
This is a tricky category as these sound absolutely amazing for their size but leave a lot to be desired, if you have owned larger speakers.
It’s hard to imagine a better sounding system for the size and the cost of these awesome speakers but I will keep looking.
MSRP Rating – 7.0
At $1,000 this is undoubtedly a fantastic 5.1 option but knowing that a set of the Polk Series II’s, that I just reviewed, Is only ~ $275 more, I marked these a little lower.
With that said, this DT set comes with a subwoofer and the much larger Polks didn’t.
Aesthetics – 7.0
I am super picky about how speakers look in my small room but these didn’t score all that well.
You’d think that I would love them because of their diminutive size but I honestly prefer a little larger speakers than these. Just didn’t fill my visual requirements the way I thought they would have.
I normally love the looks of all the Definitive Technology lineup, especially the Mythos series so I felt a little bad about ranking them this low.
Price Paid Value – 7.5
On the second hand market, $180 is a very good deal but I have just had amazing deals over the years so the score is influenced here.
Average Guy Hi-Fi Rating – 36/50 = 72%
This is a great little system for those that want a great sound and have a small room. These speakers can be had on the 2nd hand market for great deals so be sure to keep an eye out!

Make comparison Vs Klipsch
I just got an old 10 in. Velodyne VA series subwoofer that only has in and out RCA plug ins. Do you know how I can connect it to a Yamaha RX-A3000? I’ll greatly appreciate your advice.
