  • Deeply impressive
Color: Black Style: DN12
Bought as a replacement for 20+year old definitive sub this was an eye and ear opening revelation. Construction is high quality and this weighty subwoofer looks sleek and refined in my space. Setup was straightforward with the included remote simplifying the process allowing you to get the settings dialed in from your listening position. The quality once setup is outstanding. I am using with older definitive tech mythos speakers and with both music and home theater use the bass blends perfectly, punchy and clean in the mid bass while digging deep with movie soundtracks. Although this is a 12 inch sub it sounds larger and retains an amazing clarity even as you lean in and push the volume to house shaking levels. Extremely pleased with this purchase and recommend without hesitation! ... show more

  • Impressive performance!
Color: White Style: DN8
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

  • Very impressed!
Color: White Style: DN8
I am very surprised at the sound that comes out of this 8” subwoofer. I was on the fence as to purchase this or a larger sub. I am very glad that I went with the DN8. It sounds fantastic, doesn’t take up too much space, and it looks fabulous. It passes the wife test. It was also packaged very well. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • High quality lows.
Color: Black Style: DN12
Important: this sub ships with sensitivity at -6db. Was excited to replace my old sub. Connected it and was underwhelmed- only in certain parts of the music I heard the deep lows. Come weekend- read the manual and tinkered with the settings. Set input sensitivity to 0 dB- my disappointment turned to delight. The sub begun to rock. High quality deep bass- not the boomy cheap sub sound but nice and deep. I'm glad I got the 12 inch. The 15 inch too large and the 10 inch would have to work real hard to keep up with my taste in sound. The 12 inch is quite huge and heavy. I like that it's heavy. Means it's well built and it's own weight will keep it from getting affected by vibrations. I keep display at off. Sound at deep as I only use it for music. Have it connected to my speaker out on the srereo amp ( sony ta-1es) for better sound integration. Not using line in. The remote is useful to tinker with settings. The remote build quality is surprisingly really cheap. Seems like a $2 item. Thankfully, after a couple of weeks- all the tinkering is done and then one really does not need the remote as such. All the same- dt should not have made it so low quality. Do I recommend the sub?- a really low 25hz - Yes! Ps- I bought a new power cable for the subwoofer. A monstrous thick 2nd hand PS Audio shielded power cable. Sub didn't get louder buy it certainly got cleaner and went down even lower. Upgrading the power cable added a new dimension to my sub. 6 months since I bought the sub- I'm very happy with it. ... show more

  • Nice subwoofer that delivers
Color: Black Style: DN8
For a modestly sized subwoofer it compliments my stereo speakers very nicely for filling out bass on music and it’s more than adequate in a medium sized room for watching a movie with plenty on low end.

  • Nice upgrade to the pro cinema 600
Color: Black Style: DN8
Purchased as a replacement sub for my 14 year old sub that came in the def tech pro cinema 600 It’s night and day between the two subs Yes the dn8 has 2x the power and an extra Radiator vs what came with this home theater in a box, and my ears can tell the difference Kids were saying they could feel the explosion in their chest when watching iron man, they never said that before when we watched it Got it on a pre-prime day deal for 20% off msrp so it was an easy decision when I was looking to replace as it wound up being $200 cheaper than the other subs I was considering I was able to stay on brand with what I already had vs mixing it up You gotta hear it to believe it ... show more
