Solid Performance
on July 23, 2015
Posted by: HomeTheaterCT1
from Connecticut
Product is easy to set up and use. The unit performs well and ranks good in the sound quality department. I use the 3.5 mm connection into my receiver for a stereo listening application (kitchen and outdoor speakers - A+B setup). As an audiophile I was pleased with the sound quality from this setup with the expectations that the system provide music fill at moderate listening levels. The small size of the unit and the more than adequate wiring provides for versatile application, see further comments below. The unit does stay connected to one device, that being the last one connected to the unit. This can be a nuisance if the unit is left powered on after you are done listening. An easy way to combat this matter is by using a "green" power strip (which I was already using) and plugging the unit in one of the energy saving slots so it shuts down when the receiver is powered off, thus disconnecting from the device when done listening. The range on the unit is sufficient. When making a purchase of this product be mindful of walls, doors and other obstacles. Again I have combated this by relocating the unit when required with the excess wiring provided. Overall it is a cost effective way to make a legacy receiver more functional with today's music streaming devices.

This Samsung BD-J7500/ZA Blu-ray player allows Web streaming. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Outstanding bluray and multimedia player
on June 27, 2015
Posted by: HomeTheaterCT1
from Connecticut
Flawless performance. Blu Ray loads fast, sharp picture, crisp audio. Wireless function and multimedia operate without skipping a beat. Apps are awesome and plentiful. Upscaling is great. Menu is user friendly. No complaints. Initially purchased Sony s7200 and returned for this player. No question in comparison, the J7500 is a better performer and does not experience the multimedia issues plaguing the Sony.

Best Buy's BEST Budget Subwoofer
on February 4, 2014
Posted by: HomeTheaterCT1
from Connecticut
With the sizable list of budget subwoofers sold by Best Buy this is the top performer. Keep in mind this is not a marketplace item, it is a BB item just not displayed in BB stores. Having owned numerous powered subwoofers over the years, used in various applications, I am confident providing highly favorable feedback here. This item outperforms its competition in this price range and contends with if not surpasses subwoofers sold at BB in the $400-$500 price range. Frequency response is impressive, the sub handles dynamic change and extension very well, tight response, no bottoming out, no port noise, no amp noise, great for HT and music. The enclosure is large but built to perform and looks great. BASH amp technology and solid woofer construction.
What's great about it: Performance as a Budget Sub
What's not so great: It is spacious

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like razor blades are to a razor, this accessory is sold in conjunction with a key product, thus the price far exceeds the value. Product works as expected and intended. Just wish I could have gotten in on the ground floor of companies like this selling complementary products at such a large margin.

A large scale monitor that is priced right

Posted by: HomeTheaterCT1
from Connecticut
Internet Connectable?No
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased strictly as a "monitor" in a home theater set up. Therefore I can only provide feedback accordingly. Purchased as an open box item for less than $1,000. At this price point it brings forth a 65" landscape which is perfect for larger rooms, as is the case for me. The picture qualities and characteristics are as expected; certainly not mind blowing, but provides a solid picture without any "hiccups" or any noticeable viewing dis-pleasures. Performs well to very well from the perspective of the average to above average audio/videophile.

Works as expected

Verified Purchase:Yes
Performs as intended and expected. If you are looking to enhance the quality of fair received stations then you will be satisfied. If you are looking to improve the reception of poorly received signals then this is not the solution for you. This product provides a solid solution to improving your listening experience when you do not want to consider larger scale external / outdoor antenna options. Bare in mind that signal reception enhancement is limited when you isolate your solutions to "micro" applications, such as adding an antenna like this one. Once you understand these inherent limitations, you will find that this product performs accordingly.

This Definitive Technology SR-8040BP surround loudspeaker features two 3-1/2" drivers and two 1" aluminum dome tweeters for brilliant audio. Linear Response Waveguide technology smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wide area.

Great surround speakers
By HomeTheaterCT1 from Connecticut
I purchased a pair of these Def Tech surround speakers for my home theater set up. I am matching these with a Def Tech ProCenter 1000, two Sony SS-K90ED towers, Denon 790AVR receiver and Polk PSW110 powered subwoofer to complete the audio components in my home theater that also includes a Sammy PN50C7000 Plasma. Given the position of these surround speakers (centered on the rear side walls) my listening experience has been enhanced. These Def Tech surrounds replaced a set of Polk T-15's, so a comparison is not even appropriate, without question I have taken the rear fill element in my home theater to the next level. I would recommend these speakers for anyone who feels they are missing something from the rear fill and staging aspects of their home theater listening experience. The performance is great and sound is crystal clear and accurate. The speakers look awesome as well. All in all the price tag that goes along with these is justified. Surprisingly these surround speakers are the most expensive speakers in my set up, primarily due sales I was able to take advantage of in the past on the other components.

Update
June 30, 2011
Replaced the Polk PSW110 powered sub with a new Martin Logan Dynamo 700 and still these Def Tech surround speakers are the most expensive speakers in my setup, but well worth it, as these speaks break in they continue to impress. The Def Tech surrounds are mounted 6' high up, across from each other, on the side walls of my home theater room 2/3rd's of the way down the sitting area thus this speaker design provides perfect stagging, imaging and fill for the conditions given the bipolar design. No problems, highly recommend. Until you try these you do not know what you are missing and how important the rear fill and stagging is to a successful and complete home theater setup.
