No wood-exposed cabinets to get chipped/marred either.socks are easily re-ordered (and replaced) to bring up to like-new shape- ditto for the gloss caps Granted, they are hardly rectangular picassos, but that's not why I bought them. I had to re-epoxy my sub-surrounds after 15 years, but what do you want? It took 20 minutes total and they are now like-new.
Definitive technology bp 2000 manual drivers#
The cast aluminum baskets, butyl surrounds, and homopolymer drivers are built for the long haul. You can find these for $1000 a pair and even less in some cases, which is an outright steal in my book. Of course real sound contains nothing of the sort (razor-sharp imaging) and you won't find the 2000's doin' it either. They'll play oppressively loud for the SPL-heads, they'll deliver the crucial male (and female) midrange and salient highs that the more crtical listeners are looking for, and finally, they'll bring all of the dynamic punch and power everyone is looking for in a top-flight HT.Ĭrucially, if you truly believe in the mantra that there's "great music speakers and great home theater speakers but not both", clearly you have never heard a speaker on par with the 2000's (or DT's 7000's) and/or are simply undivorceable from the idea that great sound reproduction MUST contain razor-sharp imagaing. If you can lose or even consider the losing the pin-point imaging delivered from typical front-radiating designs, you will enjoy other sonic virtues in spades. The BP 2000, now 15+ years old, still puts most comparably (and many significantly higher) priced loudpseakers to shame. Of course reality dictates a different take. Consistently producing products that are lauded by critics and enthusiasts alike, and now being sold by the likes of (boo, hiss) best buy, it's easy to see why the snobbish, predictable, "phile" crowd denounce their very existence and scoff at the idea that anyone with any sense would consider such a purchase for a serious music rig,

I didn't mention the B&W model on purpose so as to avoid any misleading cues.īP2000 for their price were excellent with both music and movies provided if one could afford to feed them with minimum 200watt rms quality amps or above.ĭefinitive Technology BP2000 build quality is stiff, sturdy and heavy.ĭefinitve, now more than ever, is the red-headed step-child of this industry. They sounded ethereal but still I would not compare them with BP2000s coz no matter how nice & great my B&Ws sounded they lacked in thrust and presence. I have had in my possession a B&W pair with dual 8" woofers each. I would not compare BP2000s to B&W coz I don't have any experience of B&Ws with 15" or dual 10" woofers. Whereas underpowered amplification will make BP2000s sound flat, lifeless and dull. But chorus IIs or klipschorn might sound to some harsh and forward sounding with improper amplification but still they are amazing nevertheless.
Definitive technology bp 2000 manual series#
Klipsch heritage series is amazing and beautiful and is capable of making the music sing even at lower decibels of sound with considerable 100watt rms solid state amps. i have had the experience with Klipschorns as well. i have had klipsch chorus II and they were amazing too.

u will be in the heaven of clean crisp and distortionless sound. they begin to sing and come to life when to the least bear minimum of solid 200watt rms (no best buy or common high street stuff) is fed into them and played at above 80 decibels. These are not the speakers ever to be run by any high-street or high end 100watt amps. Definitive Technology BP2000 are power craving.
