Excellent sound for the price. Strong low end even in large rooms. Very user and spouse friendly!

Took awhile to break in. A little bright.

I've used the Pro Cinema 100.6 system for over 2 years now in 3 different rooms. This is a very flexible, easily set up system that provides very good sound for the money. Excellent way to begin sampling higher end audio.
I bought this system after reading multiple rave reviews and one long listening session. Had been sampling the B&W CDM series, but couldn't assemble the whole system for even close to this price. These speakers are a great value!
Excellent for home theater, except the sub sometimes bottoms out on loud action flicks (this is rare, and I'm prone to excess when Arnold's on the screen). Sometimes mixed results on music, especially stuff with wide frequency range. Slight gap between the frequency range of the sub and sats - probably could do better on my set up though.

Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed this system and recommend it highly.

I haven't broken in the speakers totally yet, but so far the tonal quality is excellent. Much better than the Bose Lifestyle systems I was looking at and approaching the quality of the B&W speakers I was considering buying.

I don't know if it's really a weakness, but the sub can be overpowering in my apartment.

Even though the speakers aren't broken in yet, the overall quality of sound is better than any of the other systems I considered buying. These include the Polk RM6600, BOSE AM15, POLK RT series speakers, B&W series II speakers, and Klipsch Quintet. The B&W speakers were of good quality, but the frequency response wasn't really that good unless you got the tower speakers, which I don't have the room for. That only left the other speaker systems. The BOSE sounded muffled compared to all the other speaker systems I looked at. The Polk was what I was going to originally buy. But the sub didn't really get as low as I would have liked. The Definitive speakers were the first satellite system I saw in Tucson (notorious for not having any high end audio or electronics stores)and I loved the way the sub and satellites blend together.

Various B&W, Klipsch, Polk speakers looked at before buying these.

Movies, Jazz, Blues, live music sound stellar at low and high volume levels. Good stands.

Hard Rock higher volumes

I struggled with the decision for about a month or so and then found this site with all the reviews on different items. Thanks to all for your input.

The verdict on movies, there is no better Home Theater package available right now for value and sound reproduction than the ProCinema 100 Series. I upgraded to the C2 ProCenter due to the ProCenter 100's lack of depth and ability to put you in the scene. The center channel is, in my mind, the most important component of all six pieces and the C2 delivers to complete it all. All other systems I demoed didn't even come to a close 2nd.

The verdict on music, excellent if listening to jazz, blues, live music, but hard rock was not all there. Fortunately, I do not listen to much of the hard stuff, but even if I did, I believe these speakers deliver it all for the price range. Maybe, over the break in time, the hard rock sound will escalate in sound.

My current system (not Audiofile quality, but it sure look and sound sweet):

A/V - Yamaha RX-V800 (100x5)
DVD - Panasonic RV80U (extras)
CD - Sony 209ES
TV - Mitsubishi 50" Projection VS-50707
Speakers - Def Tech Promonitor 100 (4)
" C2 ProCenter
" ProSub 100TL (all the bass I need)

Listen up all of you Bose lovers, there are a million other speakers better than the AM10 or AM15. I used to own AM15s until I returned them after two days. Then considered something from Polk. Then I heard the Klipsch Synergy 6. How stupid was I to even start at Bose!!!!!!!! The dealer finally recommended a sleek sat/sub system for only a few hundred more than the other two. It was the Pro Cinema system of course. I was amazed, I was hooked, I was in love. Finally a good system for CHEAP! Absolutely everything was superb. The sub is great and has only a 125 watt amp in it. The mids and high truely sing. The get the most out of them, play them for about 40 hours until they are burned in. They will sound great after that. If you can get this system for $1100, upgrade to the PowerField 12" sub. It's only a $100 more and is goes a little lower and louder(it's from Definitive too).

I listen to msic about equal to Home Theatre, so I wanted to look for a full set of speakers that could do an adequate job on both for under two grand. After auditioning several good systems at a Hifi parlor relatively nearby (which included systems from PSB and the like) , I narrowed my choice down to two systems for home audition. The first was comprised of two B+W 602's (front channel), two 601's for the rear, a CC6 center, and a AS6 sub -- approx. retail $1950. The second was (duh) the complete ProCinema sub/sat system from Definitive Technology (retail $1348).
I am lucky to have found a place where they allow me to take systems (within reason) to audition at home, with no risk (unfortunately they make up their costs for this policy by charging near retail prices, but I guess that is a fair tradeoff).

I brought the B+W system home first, and set it up (I use one of those cheapy Sony STR915 Dolby Digital Receivers), and I must say that it sounded great right out of the box. I liked everything about it, with the exception of its highs, that I felt were rolled off too much. Overall though, I have to say that this system performed exquisitely for both Home Theatre and Music (with a slight edge to HT).

Well I brought that system back and told the salesman not to sell it out from under me, because it would be hard to beat it, and with the Definitive system costing $600 less, I did not expect it to even come close. Luckily for me, I was wrong.

When I set up the DT system, I was not impressed with its initial sound. The midrange seemed cloudy and its great soundstage that I heard so much about was just not there as far as I could tell. So I fed my CD player Stereophile's Test CD #3 burn in track and let it go to work for three days straight.

After the break in period, when I placed a superb recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Pincus Zukerman violin soloist and conductor) I was amazed at what I heard. The harpsicord sounds that were reproduced using the tweeters were super crisp. The violin solos sounded like I remember they sounded when I went to a concert with Zukerman as the soloist a while back. I should mention that the super highs were a tad on the bright side, but I felt this worked well for classical music (my music of choice). I think most people will not be bothered by this, and I had NO ear fatigue.

In the other areas I was almost equally impressed. I enjoyed the midrange and the lows coming from the sub very much indeed (although I should point out that it did take me a while to get the sub crossover to blend properly wih the Promonitors).

For movies, I would rate the ProCinema about equal, or ever so slightly less good compared to the B+W's. Probably those rolled off highs that were not quite as good for music, paid off in the overly bright Dolby Digital movie tracks. I could easily take either one for movie duty without ANY complaints.

So the long and the short of it is that I picked the ProCinema system in the end. On overall sound outright I felt it was a bit better than the B+W's and when you take into account its price tag weighing in at $600 less, it made the choice a lot easier for me.

As a side note I will say that either one would make a good choice as far as I am concerned, and if you like your highs rolled off as oposed to slightly bright, then maybe the B+W's would be the choice for you. I suggest you audition both and let your ears guide you. As for me, the ProCinema system will be in my listening room for a long time to come (if not forever).

I listened to these for a few hours the other day at a local store, didn'tparticularly care for them. There was bass distortion at higher volumes and I
found the highs rather harsh/annoying. Hard to listen to for an appreciable length of time.

I now have owned the complete set of these speakers (including the Pro Center and 2 Pro Monitors in the rear) for a month,and I am completely hooked! The soundstage and imaging of the Pro Cinema series is absolutely amazing, and the bass is
distinct and clean. On music, these speakers can pack a punch, but are very detailed at the same time. I immediately noticed an
excellent mid range purity that should not be available at this price. For movies, all I can say is look out -- the Pro Cinema
system beats every satelite system I have heard (many costing much more money), and quite frankly matches or exceeds many
more expensive tower speaker systems. I ended up paying full retail price for my set, and maybe I am a terrible negotiator, but
when the speakers sound this good --I don't mind a bit. I HIGHLY recommend these wonderful sounding speakers to people
who enjoy their music, but want great cinema quality sound as well!

I first heard these speakers at a relatives home. I hadn't even heard of Definitive Technology! All I knew was that I had to have them in my home. I wasn't even looking to buy a new system. I quickly ran out and bought the entire set (4 monitors, center and sub) and a Denon AVR-3200. Wow! Listening to CDs is like listening for the first time because I'm hearing things in the recording that I didn't hear before. Bass is potent, clean and detailed. Mids are uncolored and true. Highs are sweet. You can't buy better speakers at this price. You can't buy better speakers at twice this price. Movies are equally impressive. Dialogue is clear and pleasing. This is obviously a product of the Denon I know but the speakers just sing. Go get 'em.

When I first listened to this system at the retailer, I was immediately impressed, so I bought them for just under a grand. When I got them home I thought I had made a big mistake, that is until I remembered the saleman telling me that I had to burn them in. Once I did I new that I had gotten a wonderful deal along with the Denon 2600 I purchased at the same time for $600 new. I reviewed a nmber of systems before buying this one. None have impressed me as much without going up at least a thousand in price.

And just what kind of "pro cinema" would use speakers like these chinless little compression generators? Pro cinema my foot.
