However, I bought this gen, but the 9040s for my parents and each of them, the amplifiers have died twice. Once within the warranty period, and once after. We opted to not pay for the repairs the second time.
They're good speakers if they work. Great for movies.

Worse, their R&D division forgot to utilize longevity and reliability as requisite parameters. Their customer service department has been repeatedly dubbed "Deaf-Tec."
Yes amp issues happen but it's completely overblown in my opinion. The main issue is with older models you can't get the parts anymore. The 9000 line will have parts readily available if anything happens.
Def tech is also pretty good with customer service. The built amps also only power the built in sub. The midrange and tweeters all still work if one goes bad. I bought a cheap set of 8080s of FB marketplace with one bad amp and ran them awhile and they still sounded fantastic with just the one sub. Called def tech to check on a replacement amp. Since they werent available they offered me 50% off the 9080s if I mailed them the amps so I took that deal. Thats how I have the 9080x now. Ran those old FB marketplace 8080s as side speakers awhile with no subs and eventually sold them.
I have no complaints about the speakers. Smaller versions won't be as room filling but for a small to medium size room these will sound great and this is a fantastic price. Sound great in my dads room. Tempted to grab a pair for side surrounds.
