Strength:
Big sound out of small speakers
Weakness:
If I had to give one I'd say the center channel could use a little fuller sound. I bought these after listening to quite a few mid range speakers. I was going to go with the Bose home theater speakers but lucky for me the salesman showed me D.T. pro 100's. There was no comparison. The DT's delivered a far richer sound. I'm using them with my Onkyo txds-787 and I think they sound almost perfect. Similar Products Used: none. |

Strength:
Sound & Size
Weakness:
None that I could hear Where do I start? These are just simply awesome speakers! Because of size restrictions, I needed to stick with a Sat/Sub system. I have been wanting to replace my Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble II system for awhile now, so I first started listening to Bose. I quickly dismissed them after hearing them first hand and reading the reviews posted here. I then checked out the Polk 2600's and the Mirage AVS-100's (cousin to the Energy Take-5 system). Both sounded fair but were definitely lacking mid-range. I then listened to the DT Pro 80's. I was impressed by their size, value and sound. But then I listened to the Pro 100's. There was just no comparison. The mid-range came to life and they had a fullness that I hadn't heard in any system up until then. Sure, they cost a little more than the Pro 80's, but they are definitely worth it. I am hearing nuances in my CDs now that I have never heard before. The sound is crisp and clear, but not too bright or harsh. For the money, I don't think you can find a better system for the price out there.

Strength:
Soundstage, depth, warmth, detail
Weakness:
None. Nothing comes close to these speakers for even twice as much. They are great. You need to hear them to believe them. Similar Products Used: Energy Take 5 |

Strength:
Great Sound for Music and Home Theatre. Small enough
Weakness:
None I auditioned these speakers after seeing the many outstanding reviews here. I've owned them for about 3 months and they are great. I have a large family room open to a kitchen and the sound fills the space well. I use them for both Home Theatre and music (hard rock, contemporary, classical, instrumental) . I was considering the pro cinema 80s but the 100s sounded much better musically. I also upgraded to the C2 Pro Center,although for home theatre I find I have to set the volume lower on the center to hear a good balance with the satellites. Nonetheless, I think the upgrade was worthwile for its tonal quality. |

Strength:
excellent sound for such a small speaker
Weakness:
makes poorly recorded cd's sound that way I am using a denon avr1801 as my receiver in my living area and was initially using the klipsch quintet system. while the klipsch performed well for movies i was somewhat disappointed in their music reproduction. they have now been relegated to the bedroom. now with the procinema 100's the sound is so much fuller. It is unbelievable how much the midrange comes to life with these speakers. I am listening to my cd collection all over again. It is even more of a joy with the 5 channel stereo setting on the Denon. They do an equally good job on movies as well. DTS soundtracks such as the crime scene in the bone collector or the lobby shooting spree in the matrix or the battle scenes in gladiator and pearl harbor sound amazing! I could not be more happy with these speakers. Similar Products Used: klipsch quintet |
