## Questions & Answers

**Q: would di5.5BPS sound same as these or better? i like the fact is in wall and can disappear.**
A: the SR9040s will probably perform better but there is something to be said for in-wall speakers disappearing.

**Q: Would like to know what’s best to use for side and back speakers with the bp9080x n the cs9080 center channels set up with wireless or wireless amp wo**
A: SR9080 is going to be the best if you have the money to spend.  Otherwise the SR9040 are great for side and back.

**Q: can this mount on a stand**
A: I have the Definitive Technology BP 9040’s sitting on two Pangea 36” speaker stands with no issues, so yes, they can sit on speaker stands with at least a 6”x6” top plate and some rubber pads, bumpers, etc, for isolation. In addition, the rear slot allows for the use of other types of mounting options if one is considering other speaker stand designs. It’s a very versatile speaker regarding placement options.

**Q: What type of screw would i use to mount these?**
A: I used a single plastic self-drilling anchor, #6-8.  Go to Menards or Home Depot.  Comes with the screws as well.  Worked just fine.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The SR-9040 fits the bill in Cost & Performance
*by E***C on August 26, 2020*

Before I get started, I’m going to tell you that reading reviews carefully is critical. Not all written reviews are created equal, as the content can create more questions than answers.For example, many people will give a product a bad rating because it was damaged during shipping. That’s a review of the shipping, not the product rendering the review useless. A positive review with one word comments like “amazing” “awesome sound” etc, is nice but void of details as to how they use them. Or a reviewer will write how much they enjoy the speaker with zero complaints yet give the product only 3-4 out of 5 stars.Lastly, a review from an audiophile, musician or engineer can be difficult to navigate due to the use of different verbiage, and interpretations of how they hear various audio sources. If you’re not any of those, their reviews will not be as helpful.In my case I’m none of those so I use plain, simple language as best I can to help you figure this out.So, read reviews using critical thinking as your guide. Create a questions list in advance before you read any review. The reviews that tackle most if not all of your questions will be the most helpful.The Definitive Technology SR-9040 Surround Speakers are fantastic. They have a unique design in which 4 drivers point in two different directions that provide a more spacious sound field regarding the direction/reflection of all sound effects.Placement is important and should be approximately at 36 inches from the floor, you can go a little higher as well. By “little” I mean a few inches NOT several feet which will defeat their purpose.Also, I don’t recommend installing them way up on the high corners of your ceiling, and angling them downward to your listening position. These speakers are best either on a wall, shelf, or speaker stand with a 6x6 plate. You’ll also need to invest in some quality rubber feet (3 for each speaker due to its triangular design)They are very well packaged and rather heavy as the design feels very solid in build. The piano gloss finish is very attractive however do not drop these on a floor. They will crack even from a fall of 3-4 feet as I found out the hard way. These speakers are not ported but instead use a sealed design.My System Set Up :The system I’m running is all Def-Tech. I have the BP 9040 (L & R), CS-9060 Center Channel, A-90 Atmos speaker modules, and the SR-9040 Surround with aYamaha RX-A1080 110 watt receiver. My Bass Calibration is set at the common 80 Hz crossover. I’m using 16 AWG Mediabridge speaker cables with the pre-installed banana plugs. The range on these speakers is an impressive 50Hz - 30,000 KHz which means the 9040’s provide some very reasonable lows with authority from their 3.5” drivers.Firstly, the SR-9040 are NOT ideal speakers for a front (L & R) or stereo only application. That’s are not what these are designed for. These are strictly designed for a spacious surround effect regarding various sounds with one exception which I’ll get to later.Movies : these speakers blend wonderfully with any and all movie sources whether you are streaming or playing a DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K discs, etc. glass shattering, gun fire, laser blasts, ricochet, clinking of glasses, background noise such as crowds, traffic etc, and fallling shell casings all sound and move with clear yet. seamless distinction. These speakers produce the best highs, mids, various lows that I’ve ever heard from any all movie viewing applications. Watching concerts is a brand new experience as the 9040’s provide wonderful sound movement and immersion.Music : As mentioned these are not stand alone speakers for this source BUT...here’s that exception I mentioned earlier.When using the SR-9040’s in a “7 channel stereo” mode on a quality/capable AV receiver, I’m immediately impressed at how seamless these speakers work with the rest, especially when listening to Jazz, Classical, R&B, and Rock genres. The highs are every crisp, clear , but not overwhelming whatsoever. These speakers produce the appropriate mids and various lows with great clarity, distinction, and blending. Studio and live recordings are interpreted with great balance and immersion on this particular mode.Gaming: Both the Xbox One and the new Series X sound amazing as the 9040’s provide the same surround immersions just line the movie playbacks. I play a lot of World of Warships Legends, Madden 21, Forza 7, Forza Horizon 4, Call Of Duty, Assassins Creed and Doom. No matter the game sound content, the SR-9040’s produce an immersive experience for the player and/or listener.The price for each speaker is reasonable at this level, which is mid-range, in my opinion. Definitive Technology states that these speakers will work very well with their other current speaker line ups so they are versatile within the Def-Tech product line.Can these speakers be used with other brands. That I do not know, but I will say that question is likely subjective based on each person’s unique listening ears and preferences. In other words, you’ll get different opinions on this topic, best way to know for certain is to test them out for yourself within a reasonable window so that you can decide to keep them or return/exchange within Amazon’s policy parameters.After having said all of that, I highly, highly recommend the SR-9040’s from Definitive Technology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium performance; mid-price
*by J***S on June 6, 2021*

Added to 5.2 home theater as part of upgrade to 7.2.2. Couldn't have chosen better - took a chance on brand I was unfamiliar with.Phenomenal sound - recalibrating theater via test tones revealed how full and clear these speakers really are. Fantastic tone and range, excellent response, and surprisingly full and clear sound for the size.Fit and finish are excellent, although I prefer metal/magnetic covers to the fabric mesh these have. Highly polished and interesting to look at.No vibration mounted on the wall. Single hang point, but very solid.I'm now a fan of DT!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitive Technology is the best!
*by D***E on January 14, 2019*

I recently purchased the Def Tech BP 9000 súper towers and center channel, all I was missing was the matching rears. After purchasing, the arrived very quickly and in extra packaging to allow for safe transport during shipping. The sound quality is just outstanding, very clear highs and surprisingly good bass on the low end for rear speakers. They are heavy for their size meaning the build quality is great. These are bipolar as well so it dispenses the sound 180 degrees. I know there are other speakers out there the sound great for the price but Def Tech has nailed it when it comes to great sound for such a low value. Definitely recommend these speakers.
