The bipolar sound seems to work for some people and not others (sort of like how some people really like the sound of British speakers like B&W, while others prefer Canadian speakers like Paradigm). Around here, at least, there are a number of DefTech fans and not really anybody I can recall who really dislike them. I've heard them, and while my ear preferred the Paradigms I will readily admit that they are good speakers.
