I would avoid this deal until they get their shipping issues resolved. My brother had to return 2 separate orders because they sent him 2 left speakers both times. One white and one black. He had to raise hell on the second return because they wanted to charge him $15 each return for a ups pickup. The first one we had to borrow a truck and haul it to ups ourselves because of the pickup fee. I know there's other SD members who had this same issues with their last sale

It's great you came around to realize your warehouse issues and you're making a good faith attempt to reconcile this with us here on SD and I'm sure all customers affected. I ordered these as a gift for my brother's birthday, and that order unfortunately was part of the mix up. The principle issue I have with your company, is that regardless of your atonement after the fact, it remains clear that your CS policy is to place cost on the customer for returns even when reported as incorrectly shipped items, a clear error on your part. That will forever stain your company's reputation in my eyes and my family's. No amount of discounts is favorable over principles, and as a consumer, not supporting your business with purchases knowing your policies is the best we can do. Change that policy and retrain your reps. At minimum instead of immediately actioning cost on the buyer under this specific umbrella of merchant error, procedure should be to escalate the matter to investigate further, rather than disrespect your customer out the gate.

They ship you the wrong product. CS is terrible and expects you to drag around a bulky 65lb box to return? They should absolutely schedule a pickup on their dime.

How is the quality of Definitive nowadays? The only product I've owned from them is a compact sub whose amp went out at the three year mark. They fixed it for me, but it was $85 to ship it to them.

Wow. I was about to pull the trigger on D15 when it was 1099. Now they even push it lower. Seems like they are desperate to move them. Should I be concerned?

No. They are getting rid of old stock as they just released a new line.

Tempted on this but the sound signature on deftech is different from 10 years ago. Definitely a lot more harsh than the neutral sound they used to produce

I've got a setup with some older Definitive Technology gera
  • StudioMonitor 55 bookshelf speakers for L/R
  • CS8040HD center
  • ProMonitor 800 satellites for surrounds
  • SVS PB-1000 subwoofer
Would the D15 be an acceptable upgrade for the SM55 fronts if I kept the same center? Or are these newer speaker not timbre-matched to DefTech's older stuff?

Also purchased this on the original deal and still haven't received the correct speakers. Their CS is a joke. 100% would avoid.

What is the return policy. How much do you charge for shipping the item back?

Yes, I was the other unfortunate person to receive white and black mix all left side. Now they reduced the price further Frown calling to price match

I used to be a big fan of Definitive. When I tried to get help in trouble shooting a wireless sub that wouldn't connect to the soundbar, I was met with a huge roadblock to get help. I stay away now.
