Style: DN10 Black
As with any subwoofer you MUST have your audio/receiver/amp settings configured to allow this subwoofer to control the bass output to compliment your specific speakers! This may take a few trial and error attempts until it sounds right for your space. Take the time to do this. You will be glad you did! As far as comparisons, I have used a Velodyne CHT 10" series for the last 20 years until it started cutting out periodically and I would need to shut off the power and restart it for it to work. I haven't owned a 12" subwoofer since my very first subwoofer, a Cerwin Vega 12" down firing sub. Awesome for the early 1980's. This Definitive Technology DN10 10" is superior over my Velodyne CHT 10"! (and of course the Cerwin Vega). Location of the DN10 is also key to unleash the literally earth shaking bass this subwoofer produces. That location is very specific to YOUR listening space so take the time to move it around to find that "sweet spot". Look up online for suggestions on how to place a subwoofer. Not every space is equal when it comes to acoustics! I am still going through my music collection and enjoying the bass I've missed out on all those years with my previous subwoofer. I would definitely recommend spending the money for the DN10. ... show more

  • CRAZY BASS, tiny footprint
This thing is amazing, it gets so loud and the bass is supper tight and punchy and gets very, very deep/low. This is replacing a 15" subwoofer from Polk and blows it out of the water. I was very hesitant to purchase this thing because of the cost, however it is worth every penny. I am truly kicking myself for not doing it sooner. My wife loves the small, reDickulessly small footprint, it's truly tiny. And the sound!!! So tiny and uncanny sound. It get very low I think its hitting much lower then advertised, i had to turn it down in the receiver and recalibrate my surround system. also had to move it out of the corner a bit to get the bass to the correct "tightness" for my ear. Pros: Very tight and low bass, Thunderous sound, amazing quality bass, did i say how loud it can get? Cons: Price i guess, but you truly get what you pay for in this circumstance. no remote for volume levels ... show more

  • Compact yet musically delivers. Nice settings. With direct speaker cable inputs.
Style: DN8 Black
I use this subwoofer to complement regular size high-end audio where speakers, Thiel CS 1.7 , have relatively limited representation of low frequency until 52Hz. The setting was easy but finding the best parameters requires manual discovery try and error for two speakers system. For surround system it would be much simple as this subwoofer has automatic feature. One of the reasons I got this subwoofer is that it has input of both LFE and standard speaker plug from amplifier. I connect the two sets of speaker cables from my mono amplifier Parasound JC1 to both Thiel CS1.7 and this subwoofer. JC1 has dual speaker output. It turned out that my environment worked best with 180 degrees of phase switch. This item has two phase settings, 0 as its default and 180 as another option. Other options include low pass filter, and in my case the lowest range fits best. Easy to change and to find the optimal point. Manual is detailed enough. A picture of manual is attached. Bass sound is concrete and relatively firm. It does not recede. Enough to enough bass structure to the extremely detailed and realistic sound stage from Thiel, making sonic stage even more colorful and vibrant. For the use cases like mine, I do believe this subwoofer works. If your audio room is large, consider a different model but for a small to mid size room with a need to add quality bass, this subwoofer is one of the most attractive choices. ... show more

  • Plenty big sound in a little box.
Style: DN8 Black
I have this unit in a large great room with a full family of definitive speakers. The settings capability is great. This unit in my case worked best with the RCA hook up as my receiver has 2 independent channel hook ups for subwoofers and electronic control inter face. Even at high volume this woofer had no distortion. Its comparable to more expensive woofers so you won't be disappointed spending less money with this unit. No performance loss with movies either so enjoy the noise. ... show more

  • Impressive performance!
Style: DN8 White
I had already purchased the vaunted SVS 3000 Micro sub a few months before pulling the trigger on the Def Tech Descend DN 8 so I really wasn't expecting much from this sub. Boy was I wrong! I have to say, the visceral power, more importantly, the quality of sound from the DN 8 was shocking! I had initially tried the SVS 3000 Micro in my home theater system but found I could never quite dial in the sound to my liking, even with the remarkable SVS app. It always seemed overly boomy and on the verge of bottoming out during loud action scenes. I eventually took it out of my HT system and added it to my bookshelf speakers for two channel music listening where it seems much better suited. When the DN8 arrived and I added it to my HT system and dialed it in with the help of my Sony STR-ZA5000ES receiver's "Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration," the system came alive. Not only did the low end visceral power return, but I couldn't get over the quality of the base. I began dialing up music on YouTube to play through the system and the DN8 did an amazing job of demonstrating its finesse, speed and textured base notes. I never heard any of the muddy base notes I experienced with the SVS in the system, just clean, fast, punchy base! I have to say this Definitive Technology DN8 is tremendous value for the money. I can only imagine how the DN10 & 12 sound! For my smallish living room the DN8 is more than enough for me. Great job Definitive Tech! ... show more
