I 'm into electronics and took it apart and fixed the ones i could. A key issue is some the transistors has no heat sink, and started to burn out which is probably why it failed. but they are made poorly.
The speakers are about 400 each on sale but they try to charge about 360 for a small amp that's the collective cost of 30 max to produce. They also usually stop carrying parts. Also taking it a part you need to be careful they have limited protection on the back of the board, and high voltage caps. It's pretty much junk.
I just don't think are good designs with built in amps doubly so with a company like this. My learning is It's better to buy a separate sub for longevity. Definite technology isn't a premium company anymore and they don't support anything they are indeed rude. It's alsoa pain to dispose of these they are big and it's a waste. I replaced it with some Klipsch which a lot of people hate but the people in my family found the klipsch sounded better they were cheaper anyway and i've had them for 10 years with no issues. its' fine if you hate klipsch many do, but i'd just get something else. I'm just brining that up because even a mass brand like klipsch sounded better in my room i got their higher end ones the 280f. they were about 300 each. I bought an independant sub. much better IMO.

Having heard them IMO they aren't very efficient and benefit from a lot of power. I also think they are better at higher volumes.
If someone is considering them as a blind buy I would suggest listening to them first if possible.
They are an acquired taste in sound but if you do prefer their sound this is pretty good deal for them.

As for HT that is personal choice, for me their design isn't preferred for HT.

The days of being able to walk in and listen are long gone unfortunately.
Well again many factors if it's sufficient for you. Will they power them yes, will you like what you hear only you would know that.
If you have never heard DT that would be the bigger hurdle to find out first IMO.
I would recommend a separate 2 channel amp to drive these.
You also want to demo some Definitive Tech speakers first. It's getting harder and harder to find local AV stores with higher end equipment. If Best Buy doesn't have them, you may be out of luck.
I am not a fan of the metallic tweeter. I like the Klipsch horn. The DTs are a lot more sibilant IMO. They really need eq'd. YMMV.
As for HT that is personal choice, for me their design isn't preferred for HT.
"The D15 tower speaker features an exclusive 3-way driver configuration with a 1" annealed aluminum dome tweeter, a 5.25" BDSS midrange woofer, and dual 5.25" carbon fiber bass drivers, complemented by dual 8" side-firing passive radiators, for a full-range, room-filling sonic performance.

How does this one compare with Klipsch?
Direct is for a single speaker $1398
