Deftech BP7006 floor standing speakers

[msnoopy22]

I'm building my home audio one thing at a time. I'm starting with my front floor standing speakers. Are the DEFTECH BP7006 the best bang for the buck???

I can't find them cheaper than $649 (each) at my local best buy. Where else should I be shopping???

For that price ($649) is there a better speaker? I really need help on this one. It's alot of money.

I'm not sure about bang for the buck, but I definitely think they're great speakers. The 7006 is the "lowest end" of the supertowers, but with all the supertowers you're getting great lower-end extension. They can truly be run full-bandwidth without a crossover with no worries. Also, if you like that bipolar sound- they have that in spades.

I think BigDaddy has a higher model of the supertowers, but he loves them. I've listened to them quite a bit (at Magnolia BB and other stores) and I think they're awesome. I currently run the BP6's, which are the smallest of the bipolar towers- they have no sub.

If it were MY money, I'd be getting some Def Tech Supertowers. I personally love them. However... it's your money, not mine. At that price range, I suggest you try and listen to other brands. Monitor Audio, Paradigm, and many others should be available in speciality shops for you to listen to.

(But the DT's get my vote! )

OP, did you pick these up?

I bought the top-of-the-line Def Tech Super Towers a few years ago. I compared them to many other speakers at the time and they surpassed them all in their price range and even prices much higher. They can surround the room with sound for both music and movie applications. There are not too many speakers that can compete with them in the low frequency extension.
