nice review but the pro cinema 800 system is a little bigger and I think would be better in a medium sized room. also, these speakers came out 6 years ago, why is home theater reviewing them now?

We reviewed the DefTech ProCinema 600 system because it is currently a top-25 best seller on Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, and Crutchfield.com, and we want to see if the best selling products in various categories are worthy of that status. Unlike flat panels and Blu-ray players, speaker systems often remain in a manufacturer's line for many years. The ProCinema 800 is a best seller only on Crutchfield, which is why we chose the 600 to review.

Scott, in the article you mentioned that you made manual adjustments to get the mid-bass more to your liking. I recently purchased the Definitive Technology ProCinema 800, and have found similar issues with the mid-bass of those speakers as well. What exactly did you do to correct this? Was this a matter of manually setting the speaker sizes/levels to override the Audyssey settings, or did you actually go as far as to attenuate the treble?
