The system I had included a Yamaha RX-V667 7.2 channel receiver and a set of the Bose Acoustimass 10 speakers. Both of these served my needs very well for a few years, but I decided to sell this equipment, make over my TV room into a media room and replace all of the equipment with new equipment. For what is it worth, my new system is now a 7.1 system and with my budget, it comprises the following: Receiver - Denon AVR-X4000; Center Channel Speaker - Definitive Technology Procenter 2000; Front L/R speakers - Definitive Technology Promonitor 1000; Front Heights L/R - Definitive Technology Promonitor 1000; Surround L/R - Definitive Technology SR-8040BP (Bipolar Speakers); Subwoofer - Definitive Technology Supercube 2000. My room is approximately 13' x 13' with 9 ' high ceilings. This review of the Promonitor 1000 will also consider some comparison to the Bose AM 10 system (which really is no comparison really). Packaging and general - the speaker is well packaged with adequate support and stuffing. Included in the box is the users manual and a small black insert. The speaker comes with a pre-installed stand screwed onto the bottom. This stand is necessary if you are choosing to use the speaker as a stand or shelf mount. In my case, I was wall mounting the speaker so the stand was removed and the small black insert was used to cover the threaded connection at the bottom of the speaker. The speaker construction is very high quality and very sturdy and the speaker is quite heavy (7 lbs) for a bookshelf speaker. There is a binding post at the back of the speaker which accepts banana plugs (I use banana plugs). My only complaint is that I do not like the high gloss piano black finish since this shows up fingerprints, smudges and dust. That just semantics though but hardly anything major to warrant a deduction of stars. One thing to note is that one of these speakers is about 2-3 times the size of the speakers included in the Bose AM 10 system. Sound reproduction - According to the deftech's published specification, this speaker has a sensitivity of 91 db. Bose does not publish its speaker sensitivity, but I did come across an article on the internet where some independent tester performed a sensitivity test on the Bose AM 10 speakers and came up with a sensitivity of 85-86 db. Sensitivity is a measure of a speaker's loudness at 1m if driven with 1W of power. After connecting up theses speakers to the receiver, I did not perform an audyssey calibration since I was eager to hear the sound from my new system. All I did was to just set the speakers to "small' setting, set some rough distances and then set the levels at the highest for all the speakers. Threw on Transformers 2 and 3 and BAM!!!!!!!!..... Amazing sound. These speakers are really crisp and the sound quality is phenomenal. In conjunction with the Procenter 2000, the SR-8040BP and the Supercube 2000, the system sounded great. The Bose speakers never sounded anything like these and I was actually hearing sounds in the soundtrack in a level of purity and quality that the Bose never replicated. I have since performed an audyssey calibration and then adjusted some of the speaker levels to tailor to my preference. Now I can truly hear the potential of these speakers. The level of sound reproduction is so much better than the Bose. Even my wife who enjoys watching movies with me has remarked that the new system and these speakers sound so much better than the Bose AM 10. I mean, do not get me wrong, the Bose sounded ok but, for the quality of sound you get from those speakers, they should be priced less. The deftech speakers fill the room and the house with sound and they are not even cranked to a high volume level from the receiver (between -45 db to -29 db). In comparison, the old Bose speakers were usually played at -33 to -29 db and the results were no way near as astounding. In summary, the Promonitior 1000 are exceptional speakers for a small room and possibly for medium sized room. I plan to add an amplifier later on and by that time, I am sure these speakers would have broken in (as per manufacturer's recommendation) to achieve sonic purity and bliss. I definitely recommend these speakers and have no problems in giving them 5 star!!!! -------------- EDIT UPDATED 29-Dec-2014 -------------- So I tweaked the speaker setup for the room and adjusted the parametric equalizers for each pair of speaker in the room a few weeks ago. The sound quality was more to my liking. I actually used Transformers 2 for my tweaking because I think that movie has top notch sound effects and special effects that really bring out the most in speakers. While tweaking, the sound was 'optimized' at a volume level of -32dB on my Denon AVRX4000 receiver. Since then these speakers have been used for movie and radio listening quite extensively. For the last couple of nights I was watching various movies(Hangover 3, Pacific Rim, Lord of the Rings, Transformers 3) and I found that the sound was quite loud at volume levels between -40 db to -36 db. It was then it occurred to me that the speakers have broken in and were really blossoming just as the manufacturer recommended. I just wanted to provide this update so potential buyers would know that this speaker break in is real and the sound quality does dramatically change after about 20-40 hours of speaker use. The sound from these speakers is even more impressive that I originally reviewed. I maintain my 5 star rating and would rate them 6 stars if I could. Don't hesitate - buy these speakers. Really amazing value for money!!!! Review: but they are an excellent bookshelf speaker for there size - I know these are older speakers, but they are an excellent bookshelf speaker for there size. ## Features - manufacturer: Definitive Technology - Item Trademark: DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 7.25, 7.25 - Item Category: Speakers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V41XII | | Additional Features | Radio | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | for surround sound systems | | Audio Driver Size | 5.25 Inches | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Audio output mode | Surround | | Brand | Definitive Technology | | Built-In Media | Black satellite speaker, Online Product Registration card, Owner's Manual, Plastic insert tab, Removable cloth grille (installed), Removable pedestal foot (installed) | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Television | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Protocol | RCA, Auxiliary | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary, RCA | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary , RCA | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Corded electric | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 197 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | PolyStone | | Frequency Response | 30000 Hz | | Frequency response | 30000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00093207022739 | | Impedance | 8 Ohms | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 16D x 16.5W x 27.7H centimeters | | Item Weight | 3.29 kg | | MP3 player | No | | Manufacturer | Definitive Technology | | Model Name | ProMonitor 1000 | | Model Number | NDKA | | Mounting Type | Shelf Mount | | Mounting type | Shelf Mount | | Number Of Circuits | 1 | | Number of Audio Channels | 2.1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Series Number | 1000 | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 200 Watts | | Speaker Size | 5.25 Inches | | Speaker Type | Bookshelf, Satellite | | Speaker maximum output power | 200 Watts | | Specific Uses For Product | Home Theatre | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Tweeter Diameter | 1 Inches | | UPC | 093207022739 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | | Woofer Diameter | 5.25 Inches | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Surround - **Brand:** Definitive Technology - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary, RCA - **Frequency response:** 30000 Hz - **Speaker maximum output power:** 200 Watts ## Images ![ProMonitor 1000 Bookshelf Speaker (Single, Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-HIN7lE2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good speaker!!! *by A***. on 25 November 2014* So I recently decided that I would upgrade my home theater system and replace all of my equipment with more high end equipment.

Really amazing value for money!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but they are an excellent bookshelf speaker for there size *by S***F on 18 July 2017* I know these are older speakers, but they are an excellent bookshelf speaker for there size. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 15 years later still Kickin. *by οΏ½***N on 9 February 2023* I tell ya, people with sound bars have no idea what they're missing. Definitive technology is awesome. I saw these and figured I'd write this. I bought them in 2010 and I haven't been gentle with them. I've gone through three TVs and two receivers, those were just upgrades. Only thing I've added to this 7.2 set up is two Klipsch Atmos on top of my...BP 6000B I think they are? 2 towers,2 monitor 800, 2 1000, 2 8" pro sub 1000, pro center 2000. never a pop or a crackle with any of them. I think in 2017 a fuse blew in one of the subs. but that's it. they sound phenomenal. Everybody says so. Just don't forget to pop the screen off, they do get dusty on top, see my finger drag? be careful though, it's not a flat piece. It bends at the top. don't snap it. Edit: I forgot to mention I'm using these as my two rear surround, but I have them basically just behind my recliner and it creates an excellent rear center phantom. I watched Halo and every time Cortana speaks it's like she's in my head, it freaked me out the first time. And a couple times after. Like headphones without wearing headphones. The stands that go with these are about the perfect height, surround speaker should be at ear level. ## Frequently Bought Together - Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000-2-Way Satellite or Bookshelf Speaker for Home Theater, at Par with Any Large Speaker (Single, Black) - Definitive Technology VEPC Pro-Mount 90 - Pair (Black) - Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800-2-Way Satellite or Bookshelf Speaker for Home Theater Speaker System | Easy Mounting (Single, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/263607743-promonitor-1000-bookshelf-speaker-single-black](https://www.desertcart.co/products/263607743-promonitor-1000-bookshelf-speaker-single-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
