Product Description
The DV84 towers are star performers for both video and music. Like the DV64, the DV84 are an excellent match to the DV62CLR-S center channel. The dual 8" woofers provide even greater output than the DV64, and extra bass extension from dual 8" passive radiators. Like the DV64, these towers are video-shielded permitting placement next to televisions.

 Dv-84's vs. DV-64's April 28, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
After owning the DV-84 towers and DV-64 towers for over a year I'd like to say that the 64 is the way to go. I've been told that 8" drivers are too big to be accurate and I can now hear it. At first I liked the 84's because of the extra bass but last week I put the 64's side by side with the 84's again and realized the 64's have a much cleaner mid range. And besides, they're cheaper. So, don't buy the 84's because you think they're going to sound better with bigger speakers. They don't.
 If you can get it shipped without damage, you're good to go.. March 3, 2006

I originally purchased a pair of begin the process of replacing an old Bose 301/141/VSC10 surround setup I had just sold.
My plan was to mate these with a DV62CLR center channel and DV62si rears to create my new system.
I received the items promptly thanks to Amazon.com's 2 day shipping. However, when they arrived one speaker had been crushed in the lower front left corner. It wouldn't even stand up on its own. I attribute this to two things; Extremely poor packaging by the manufacturer, I mean HORRIBLE, and UPS handling these items very poorly as well. They beat the hell out of your shipments, especially at this weight of nearly 60 lbs for each box.
Anyhow, I ordered a replacement. It unfortunately was also extremely damaged upon receipt.
I did get to hook this one up along with the previously undamaged speaker and they would've sounded wonderfull as a replacement for my previous system. High power handling, crisp highs and deep bass. Very large enclosure, highly efficient.
I ended up sending all three speakers back due to frustration and then came the problem of getting my refund.
I had to wait over a week to get my UPS tags to send these items back, then over another week and many follow up emails to get my refund.
After a months of ordering, replacement ordering, sending items back and having to work very hard for my refund. I must say the overall experience has been dissappointing.
I would've loved to have kept these speakers and would've purchased the others to complete my set, had these arrived the way they should have.
Bic Venturi would do well to take note......
Either start using high quality shipping materials AND double
packing the boxes your products come in, or no doubt you will be losing money and losing business.
 AMAZING SOUND FOR THE PRICE September 20, 2005

I have a pair of these 84's as well as the 64's and love both of them. You'll be hard pressed to find a better speaker for the money esp. one with the clarity and imaging of these. Side by side the 84's and 64's are very similar and I can't decide which one I like more. You can't go wrong though for a pair of 64's for $240! I hear the crossover Ed Frias does is real popular, improving the warmth and clarity for pretty cheap. You can find out more about him in audio review websites.

I've owned Klipsch, B&W and KEF speakers. My friend has PSB speakers, $700 for the pair . These speakers equal all of those or do better. I only paid $130 ea. for these but they are worth all of the retail price of $375 ea.
The thing you have to know about speakers is placement in the room is VERY VERY VERY important. You cannot just slap them on the floor and leave them there. Read the manual on these speakers. They suggest you put them 2-3 feet AWAY from the wall and it does make a difference. These are not a pair of speakers for a little room.
The presence and sound stage on these speakers is just breath taking. If you close your eyes you can see the muscians playing their instruments and the depth of sound is just amazing. I had my friend come over and do a blind sound test. He asked me after the first song I played if I was sure I didn't have a center channel speaker on because the music sounds like it's coming right in front of you.
I will give this information about the room I'm playing them in (the room makeup makes a HUGE diffence in how speakers sound). The living room is about 20 X 30 with tile floors, an area rug, and large vaulted ceilings (which really add to the sound stage). I have large leather furniture, paintings on the walls, and lots of large plants. I can't stress enough how much room compistion and placement of speakers effect the sound.
On any pair of speakers you get, make sure you try them in lots of different positions: point them up, point them in, point them out, and pull them away from the wall varying lengths. Hard flooring and uneven wall surfaces (meaning you have pictures or things hanging on the walls or plants in front of the walls) make a big difference in spreading the sound.
If you have a subwoofer please please don't crank it up. When you read reviews and people sometimes list them as 'boomy' I wonder if they just have the subwoofer turned up too high. You shouldn't HEAR a sub as much as you should feel it. You shouldn't hear boom boom boom and not much else, you should feel a nice tight thump that extends sound. I always like to say that a sub drops the bass from your knees to your feet. Also location IS important in a sub and make sure you move it around too A sub being too close to the wall will also lend it to being 'boomy'. I know this review is long, but I hope these tips help you out in making your system sound better.
BIC DV84 the only way to go January 1, 2007

I purchased my BIC America Venturi DV84 about a year ago, they have a great sound with deap bass. It has a clean sound that can pack a punch. With these speakers you won't need to spend $400 on a big bad sub.
