This speaker is great. No doubt about it. But, please know that if you plan on ordering this from Amazon, it will arrive in the typical Amazon box and the internal protection will be paper wrapping. The Amazon box was so overly large that the the paper inside offered no protection whatsoever. The Def Tech box had a big dent in the corner from being dropped. Yes, UPS dropped it, but if Amazon took any care in its packaging, it wouldn't have been a problem.

If any mid range audio company does it right, it's Def Tech. I bought these on 12/1/08 along with the Def Tech BP7006's, plugged them in to my Yamaha HTR-5890 (130 watts per channel) and they sound INCREDIBLE. I bought them mainly for home theater, but i also listen to music, which sounds crystal clear. The midrange and tweeter do an incredible job at capturing detailed sounds in movies that I never heard on my previous system. Voices from the center sound like real voices; not someone talking in a tin can. The subwoofer picks up deep voices and other noises that any other center wouldn't. I highly recommend pairing this center with the BP7006's for a real theater experience (the 7006's have the exact same midranges, tweeter, subwoofer and amp that the C/L/R 2300 does). The 8" subwoofer produces very tight and accurate bass. I have the Sub Level knob half way up and it is plenty loud. The 7006's produce the majority of the bass for movies and music, but the center just adds more bass that really fills the room with clear sound. I have not hooked up the LFE port to my receiver yet as I plan to do so on my two fronts. If you are looking in the price range, I suggest Def Tech. It truly creates an amazing home theater experience with life like room filling sound and accurate, tight bass.
