Flagship Performance
Breathtaking Musicality
D17 tower speakers are meticulously engineered with a laterally offset 1" annealed aluminum dome tweeter, a 6.5" BDSS midrange woofer, and dual 6.5" carbon fiber bass woofers complemented by dual 10" side-firing passive radiators for a full-range, breathtakingly musical sonic performance.
Proprietary Drivers for clean, detailed, balanced audio
Definitive Technology designed the drivers in the Demand Series to deliver a perfectly balanced, precise, musical sound.
Tweeters - Clear, Precise Highs
The D17 couples a laterally offset 1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter with our 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens. We offset the tweeters by 5 Degree , minimizing wave cancellations off the front baffle to deliver a more precise center stereo image and ensure clear, exacting high-frequency performance and detailed soundstage.
Midrange - Superior Midrange Detail
The D17's 6.5" patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) mid/bass driver provides greater excursion and output for superior midrange detail and punchier bass compared with other drivers of similar size.
Woofers - Deeper, Cleaner Bass
The D17's custom-woven 6.5" carbon fiber woofer produces superior cone rigidity for deep, evenly extended bass notes while preventing distortion-causing cone deformation that can occur with less rigid materials.
Dual 10" Passive Bass Radiators for visceral bass response
Twin integrated 8" passive bass radiators in each speaker produce extraordinary low-end extension for louder

In for a pair, thanks OP! The price seems too good to be true, but I'm willing to risk it and keep expectations low. But with Def Tech, can't go wrong.

I've got some older Definitive Mythos speakers and have been pretty unimpressed with them. I'm no audiophile and I'm going to struggle to describe it properly, other than to say they seem a little muddy and lack clarity. Seems more like they were designed with looks in mind over sound. I've also used various infinity speakers, JBL, Pinnacle, Celestion and Polk to name a few off the top of my head and haven't felt the same level of disappointment in any of them. I know nothing about this particular speaker though.
I just associate def tech with the cheapest of the cheap you can get at Best Buy. How would these stack up against, say, the JBL590s on sale at $500 a speaker right now?
These are better. The JBL 590 are an exceptional value for their low price, though. Definitely see diminishing returns on audio quality as you climb higher into the thousands of $ per speaker category. For some (audiophiles) it is worth it.
Got Def Tech System in 2006 (BP- 7002, CLR 2300) ...16+ years and they still perform amazing
Def Tech is a solid speaker system
Dont know how I became a deftech fan.. BP7002 here for a 2.0 set up. Another room has SM65 fronts, clr2000 center and bp2x for rears with a pair of supercube 4ks. Outdoor are a pair of AW6500. Of all the rooms, the outdoor sound the best. Tells you a lot about room treatment..

value, the jbl to me seems like better value. you get bigger powered drivers.
there is a difference in design though, passive radiators are less boomy and you usually don't get port noise.
neither the 590 nor this speaker are klippel driven designs though, so they're colorfully non-neutral.

Hopefully you don't get 2 left speakers and one black, one white speaker like my brother did when he ordered some last week 🤣
