Provides clean response with music and has strong impact with movies.

None for me.

I really enjoy this sub because my goal was to find a sub that performed well with music and movies. This sub blends perfectly with my system and at $350., brand new in a box, it's a great value for a quality product.

My System:

Denon AVR 2801
Monitor Audio Bronze One (Fronts and Rears)
Monitor Audio Baby (Center)
Pro Sub 100 TL
Sony S550D DVD
Sony Vega 36" TV

Small size, big sound; goes down to 19 hz; 250 watts; clarity

This sub was a relief to me. I had purchased the Klipsch KLF-12 just days before and had the fuse blow within 48 hours. I returned it for a refund. After seeing all of the accolades for D.T. in Home Theater Magazine, I thought it would be the way to go - so I went to an authorized dealer. After getting an amazing demo to the movie, U-571's depth charge scene, I knew this was the one. I bargained them down to $399.00. Quite honestly, this baby has simply amazing and big sound from a smaller size (10 inch woofer) sub - it will easily fit most anywhere (I have it placed behind one of my tower speakers in the corner of my living room with no problems since it is non-directional).

The sub has power output rating of 250 watts and goes down to 19 hz - it is front firing with the cross-over, volume control, and auto on/off in the back. I use its simple LFE output, even though it gives you more options than that. The sound is crystal clear and gives you the missing link if you have been living without a subwoofer - I was because I had been living in an apartment until recently.

The sub's sound blends seemlessly into 2 channel stereo but adds a tight wallop without overwhelming you (which is good). Of course, I tested it with some music with sick bass (i.e. - Primus, Rush, Beastie Boys, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, some techno and acid jazz) - yeah baby! However, when you hear it in 5.1, you'll be saying "Holy shiznit Batman!!!" This sub produces well beyond its price range, and blows away the Klipsch, which I rated at one star. The Definitive Tech is a steal of a deal and makes you feel like you are at the movies, and I have it at half its maximum volume and my Marantz SR-18EX receiver at only -15db. Try the opening heist scene from the movie "Snatch" or the movie's conclusion with the bare knuckles boxing match - it will give you the chills. The growl and footsteps of the T-Rex in "Jurassic Park" made my house shake rattle and roll. This does not even mention the fact that the subwoofer has not been fully broken in - which I hear is about 40-50 hours of use.

Folks, you will not be disappointed with this product. The magazines and vast amount of awards do not lie. Ladies, this would make a great holiday gift for your hubby or boyfriend (hint hint) and you will appreciate it too like my wife does. This was my 1st wedding anniversary present -and made me one happy camper.

Amazing power, dynamics, very musical if tweaked correctly

Cheap feet (no spikes included or optional, just plasticy-rubber feet

It's only been several days after purchase and it sounds terrific. The output levels can go way beyond that which I care to listen to, so power is no problem. This unit certainly sounds lovely and has given my bookshelf speakers (B&W DM303) a much fuller low end for music. Output is deep and punchy for the upper-bass and it really makes your seat shake when you get into lower frequencies. Port noise is almost nonexistant except at obnoxiously loud volumes that most similarly priced subs won't even touch. The only better sub I have heard was a sunfire that was also demoed at The Gramophone. Even though the sunfire could get louder, it might have been because it was placed in a corner. I have my sub positioned under my desk because of space problems, but it's set at a relatively low crossover so it really does not interfere with imaging too much. This might not apply to the audiophile, but for those who have their system hooked up to their gaming PC or console, this guy will rock your seat when playing ultra-violent games like unreal tournament =). For the price, it totally has the Klipsch KSW-12 runnin home to mommy (which is $50 retail more). The klipsch just had too much distortion and the port noise was VERY VERY discernable from the rest of the music. One nice thing about the Def. Tech sub is that it's solidly built, however it doesn't weigh a whole lot. Despite the low weight the cabinet is very solid feeling and the finish is just what it should be, unobtrusive and plain. Another nice thing is the grille, which when put on takes quite a bit of effort to take off. I seriously doubt any child or the subwoofer itself could manage to pull the grille off. My only tiny gripe is that the control plate on the amplifier is a little chintzy feeling. It doesn't feel like it'll fall apart, but I think they could have done better on the high level input binding posts. Then again, I'd rather have a sub that sounds good and has average connections than a sub with superb connections and crappy sound ;). Go have a listen if you can and you should be very happy with the bang/buck ratio.

I bought this sub along with a pair of B&W 601's. The sub sounds terrific. I've played around with different levels of volume and the gain and I've yet to hear it bottom out. I think it produces an incredible smooth bass. It compliments my B&W's and my Yamaha 992 receiver. My household listens to all types of music and it sounds wonderful with them all. The auto on/off is also a nice feature. For the price and the size, it's well worth it.

I owned the New ProSub 80 (Def Tech's 8", 250 watt baby boomer) and liked it a lot- loads of energy- but at medium volumes, the air turbulence from the slot (port) are annoying. The ProSub 100 is definately a better choice. I upgraded to it and haven't looked back...

Bought this sub to go with my B&W home theatre system about 2 weeks ago and have been highly impressed since. The cabinet is so small that it's mis-leading. I have to turn the sub down low just to keep it at "normal" bass levels. Even down low, I can feel it in the floor upstairs!! I wanted a system with high end quality without paying thousands for each set of speakers....and thats what I got. In the case of the sub...I know I could spend thousands for subs that would blow this away, but for the approx. $400 price tag its more than I need AND its hard to beat. I've played this speaker at all levels and currently can't find a complaint...gotta give it a 5.

This Powered Pro Sub 100 10" 125W sub is very nice for the price.
It's adjustable gain and variable crossover [40-150] works well with either the Pro Cinema 100 or Pro Cinema 200 6-speaker HT set-up.

You can hook the front speakers up to it with speker wire or use the line input from the A/V receiver and two fronts directly from the recevier - either way works well.

It's a nice looking unit too. The adjustments are in the back but readily accessible. I have the crossover set between 128 and 150 and the gain anywhere just left or right of center.

I started out with the Pro Cinema 100, moved up to the Pro Cinema 200 and ended up with the CLR2000 center in place of the C2 center for better imaging and overall sound. But the C2 center would work well on top of the TV [the CLR2000 weighs a ton and must sit on top of a Rear Projection TV or entertainment center].

Either way, the Definitive Technology system can be had for $1350 - $1900 and will be a great set-up for DD5.1 and DTS DVD home theater for years to come.

This Pro Sub 100 gives a nice LFE and bass response to finish it all off.

After 3 1/2 years this sub is still producing distortion free bass. Great for movies & music. Despite the compact size of this sub it is still dropping down to 18 hz, rivaling 15 inch subs. I have tested this unit to the max with spectrum analysis computer software and found the result very impressive. With interest lying in LFE this sub produces well for its price. At least a 4 star product.

Clear, powerful and tight bass

None so far

About a week ago, I went to my local United Audio Center intent on purchasing a Definitive Tech PF15TL sub. Unfortunately, the salesman advised that Definitive dropped the larger subs from their product lineup, apparently because their powered towers already come with large, built in subs, and few customers felt the need for an additional sub. They now offer the ProSub 200, which is a 12", 250 watt powered sub with a very small footprint. I purchased this model and am very pleased with the quality of the bass. I listened to a 15" Velodyne costing over $1000 that sat next to the Definitive, and noted that the Velodyne had more output, but it sounded muddy. When the Definitive was switched on, the output dropped slightly but the bass was very tight and well defined. I don't mean to imply that there was any lack of low end. The ProSub 200 could literally be felt in the gut, and the sound quality made me buy it on the spot. I'm happy to report that when I hooked it up to my system, the results were outstanding! While watching the DVD of "Das Boot", the German submarine movie, I must have jumped off the couch 20 times when the Allied destroyer dropped depth charges above the submarine. The explosions could be felt as well as heard, as the air in the room must have been sucked in and out of the subwoofer. This was the first time that I really felt like I was part of the movie, enveloped in sound, and not just a spectator. Of course, after that experience, I have to watch all of my DVD's all over again. You should hear the 15" cannons in "The Last of the Mohicans". WOW!
I can say nothing negative about Definitive's ProSub 200, which I have placed about 4" away from a wall. I understand that placement in a corner would provide even more output, but that just gives me something more to look forward to if I rearrange the room. Five stars, please!
