The Def Tech with the bass in the back of the wedge is very smart. It bass loads your roof overhang, genius! But if you are not hanging them under your eves then yes its not optimal. I love my Klipsch speakers but in the right installation that's perfect
I can see where you are coming from, but trust me, in real life the sound was much fuller with Klipsch. Not to say that the Def sounded bad or were not clear.
Both sound quite good, with the edge to the Klipsch pair. I'd only note that you're testing outdoor speakers indoors in what is a fairly reverberant room. Both sets are likely to sound very different in free space, but I won't knock anything about this video as there comparison for overall flavor is there.
Thank you for the comparison review. Concerning the Def Tech speakers the way they are mounted has big influence on the sound. You said you wish the bass was on the bottom, but they are rotatable so the bass could be pointed towards the bottom. It's also important to know the Def Tech speakers feature a radiator bass, which are supposed to radiate the sound onto a surface (wall or ceiling) which then reflects and improves the bass sound. I'm not surprised they sounded less good in this setup.
Lenn, Thank you for your opinion. I understand that the def tech speakers are rotatable but the way the angle is designed is not helpful. It shouldn’t be a complex process to set up and to get great results. For example, I set up mine outside. One is attached towards the end of my siding with the mid driver pointing towards the patio which is to the right, to the left it’s my neighbor’s house so am I suppose to mount it with the bass pointing towards the right and voice driver towards the left where the neighbors house is? If I put it upside down then the voice (driver) would be pointing towards the sky, just so I point the bass pointing down it just doesn’t work. My other speaker is mounted on one of the posts of my fence and there is nothing to bounce the bass off of. Maybe for some will work as you stated but in my opinion, it should not be as complex to set up in order to get quality bass. I placed the Klipsch the way I want them outside and they also rotate, I’m happy with them and the awesome bass! I love def tech just in this battle it didn’t win.
Klipsch AW650 outside speakers are incredible, my outdoor area is 25' x 25' and it fills the sound nicely. i tried some bs inwall speakers and it sounded like a tin can
@@brotang1 My apologies for the late response… No way I would replace my front focals. These were purchased for my back patio. Thanks for checking the video out.
I am loving them. They are just attached to my fence with no shade. I live in Chicago so weather conditions are extreme yet the Klipsh have no issues. Color has faded a bit but I know I can repaint them. During winter I do put a cover I bought for them. PS: Neighbors are always asking me to play more as they enjoy them too.
Look at AW-650T, a bit more expensive, but, 110db, supports 8ohm, 4ohm, 70v/100v, 85watt. You'll thank me later. I have the AW-650 in garage, but outside backyard go with AW-650T, no competition out there in same price range. 👍
I like the clarity of Def Tech speakers but not the lack of bass. The Klipsch sound fuller (have more bass), but the highs are not as clear or crisp. It's a tough call; I wouldn't buy either. If I could add a subwoofer, then my choice would be the Def Tech.
I couldn’t agree more.. if I could add a sub which is possible, then I would get Definitive. However in my big yard with the Klipsh I am not missing the sub. It would be nice but I am okay without.

The Def Tech sounds very clear and the right amount of bass.

Klipsch all day.
The AW series are really good as Atmos speakers.
Really? I didn’t think of that. Good to know
I'm shopping these outdoor speakers specifically for Atmos use due to their enclosures and brackets.
Thanks for making this video. Helped me make a decision.
I’m glad it helped!! 👍🏼
can you make a video of this connection. can the CA-800T be connected to the TV directly?
Thank you for the comparison review.

Both actually sounded very good!!!!!
Nice review but not the best music to see the difference 🤔
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to do this.

Does the DT6500 provide more on the lower end? Also, how many WPC are you pushing to them?
No I think the Klipsch did better on lower end. As for the power I was using my Outlaw 5000 amp which is rated at 120w with 5 channel driven.
Ok, got it, thanks.
Thank you.
Why not Polk audio?
I have had Polk Audio when I started my home theater. Nothing against them, I just much enjoy my Klipsch which then got replaced by Focal.
@@uribetubejr24 Did you replace you Klipsch aw-650 with Focals ? Which model ? Are they better?

Its been a year, how are you liking the klipsch
I am loving them. They are just attached to my fence with no shade. I live in Chicago so weather conditions are extreme yet the Klipsh have no issues. Color has faded a bit but I know I can repaint them. During winter I do put a cover I bought for them.

The def tech’s will sound better properly mounted underneath a soffit…can’t go wrong with either though.

I will look into that, thanks
110 db RMS or peak?
Def tech all day
klipsch hands down
