Hi I currently own the Bic DV 64, I am so impressed with the bass and overall performance....is the PL-89 that much of a significant upgrade?

If you think the bass on the DV 64's is good, you're gonna be in for a huge surprise if you get the PL-89's. I have them in my room, and even at full blast the 8" woofers are still able to keep booming along with everything else. Also the quality of the sound is more clear than any other speaker I've heard within the $1000 range. There's a reason they're $500 more expensive than the DV 64's. To get even more boom, I bought a Bic America f-12 (which I seriously recommend you do). It is a great 12" subwoofer and produces more bass than any other $200 sub on the market. (seriously, $200 is a steal for how good this thing is). You may need to upgrade your amp to get the full potential out of these though, as they require a large amount of power to play at near full volume.

PL-89s have horn tweeters. However, my home theater has a dedicated subwoofer that picks up anything below 120hz, so bass response isn't important in my pl-89s. I do not know how your speakers color sound either. They are nice for sure, and the build is very sturdy. I use them for movies, and music. I prefer fewer speakers, as I feel having my power overly distributed forces me to use amplifiers in higher state. The more power you push a system to generate sound, the worse the signal is distorted and will eventually clip. It isn't good to have to use most of the capacity of your system.

Probably not. It really depends on your set up and room. For the size room I have the pl are little big but do the trick.

I have never heard the DV64's so I cannot accurately compare the two. I have heard various Pioneer, Kenwood, Onkyo, and other major brands in stores and in homes. In my opinion, the Acoustech brand blows them all away. I'm driving them with a pioneer VSX 1020 receiver and they sound clear and strong at any volume. One fault: They put out so much bass that the covers tend to create a sound of their own. I've come to the conclusion that the sound is coming from the fabric vibrating against the frame of the cover. Can't bring myself to gluing the fabric just yet, so just pull the cover off to crank it up. I have never heard the DV64's so I cannot accurately compare the two.

I had written a big explanation and it was erase sorry. Yes 600 watts are awseome we had a neighbor a few house down complain about the rattling going on to his windows and pictures while we were watching the new Batman. But we just bought a 80inch LED Smart TV Slim Line WiFi Sharp what a new experience now with Sound and picture.

I do not know the BIC DV 64 speakers, but I do love the PL-89's. The overall sound is great, but I do still use a sub woofer because the bass is good but not great.
1974918
Incredible sound !!! Doesnt match the price !!! You get a performance of a very expensive speaker!!
1974919
I really can't help you I also have a pair of PL-200 powered subs for my home theater system so I don't just use just the PL-89. But I do love the speakers the highs are extremely good and they go loud and still sound good. I hope it is helpful for you.

Ditto, This player brought my lexicon dc2,bridged carver amps, and klipsch chorusll's(4 of them) back to life.I had a pioneer dv05, thx, like everything else listed here,and simply cannot believe what I was missing in sound quality from the pioneer. This player could pick up a pin dropping in the middle of a pete townsend solo(doesnt get any louder than that).Yes the blueray is very good, yes the upconverting is very good, but the sound is only surpassed slightly by the denon (4500.00) blueray player.Buy it for 500.00, I paid a thousand for the dv05, Technology just keeps jumping by leaps and bounds.

I'm sold on the 8060 with powered sub, great for both music and movies. We previewed the smaller ProCenter 1000 and some other larger center channels, but kept going back to the 8060 for fuller sound and more punch. We have a large Paradigm powered sub in the back corner for overall movie soundtrack range, but this improves the action front and center.

Definitely, unless you need lots of bass. The BA 200 make just about everything sound great.

Speaker Craft is Excellent but i wouldnt go less then Aim8-3's.. The quality of material in AIM-1 and AIM8-2 are not as good and you can get the 3's for just slightly more! I think if you did it how I did you would be very pleased.. Im really happy how mine turned out!! I did buy the BIC-12" ground unit for the bass but you dont have to get that extreme.. Action movies kick ass though!!

I have the dv64's hooked to my stereo setup and I think the sound quality is quite good, the basses may not be as hugh because of the speakers size.

I, too, purchased the 93 and thought about upgrading to the 95. I liked the 93 but was intrigued by the 95's audio. So I ordered a 95 and was blown away by the improved sound. The 93 is on its way back to Amazon.

Yes the bass is very nice but not overpowering the highs mids. I would say perfect. Check out my review on YouTube just search max Yuryev sl99

Hi here! I actually own both the 3908 and 3602 models. Both are very nice and my main advice is what you want in terms of Bass. The 3908 has a more powerful subwoofer and it is definitely noticeable. If you're just looking for a sound system in your room to listen to then I would recommend the 3602. If you plan on having a system that can sound good at high volumes at a house party, then I would get the 3908. In treble and mid, I personally think there is little to no difference. Hope this helps!

I tried 215 & 315, then I bought 315. The reason is that 315 makes me listen every single line of different sound clearly, no matter its from instruments or vocal. However, it is lacking of bass compared with 215 if you are a bass lover. That's because of the different positioning of the product. I already have a Denon one which performs with rich and deep bass so that I choose 315 just for different type of music. FYR ^^

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

hi chad, i ordered a complete set of bic acoustech speakers and enjoy the towers, center channel and the pl-66 rear surround. the sound is excellent if u have the right receiver to push every speaker.

I have not heard those BIC's, but I have some of their bookshelf versions. I suspect they will compare well against the Klipsch. I do have a pair of these and am pleased with them.

Depends on your budget and size restrictions. BIC F12 might be complimentary. I wouldn't go polk for the price.

I Choose the Linn Majic 109's. I am very happy with them. With the Linn speaker you will never get tired of listening. I think I should have also auditioned the Dynaudio Excite X16's, for comparison. Good Luck

I own the RB-61 II, which are not the same, but still have the Klipsch sound signature that so many consider extremely bright and fatiguing. What I have noticed is that they are way too bright with very bad sources. For example, bad 128kbps mp3s. With FLAC, CDs or DD and DTS soundtracks they are just magnificent. Every time I listen to music I am familiar with, a smile appears on my face. They simply sound awesome.
