| Product Name: | Definitive Technology Demand D17 Floorstanding Speaker, Right and Left, Piano Black |
| Product Description: | D17 Tower Speaker - Towering Audiophile Performance D17 loudspeakers are the discerning listener's choice for smooth high-frequency reproduction, thundering lows, and three-dimensional imaging that fills your space with beautiful sound. • Breathtaking Musicality: High Performance with a Powerful Presence and Full Frequency Response • Smooth, Visceral Bass: Two Carbon Fiber Woofers, Two 10" Passive Radiators and a BDSS Midrange Woofer • Precision Imaging: Laterally Offset Tweeters with 20/20 Wave Alignment Creates a Precise Soundstage 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 |

TL;DR: wouldn't recommend buying these. The sound is definitely good, but given the issues and the fact that they're discontinued, it doesn't seem like a good buy.

Never had a problem with Adorama, even with returns & replacements. In my book, top drawer retailer.

Been buying with Adorama for almost a decade (mostly camera equipment) and not one problem with shipment or returns. But nobody is perfect.
As for these speakers, definitive is pretty good. I haven't put ears on this set, but the pedigree is there.
FWIW these are not powered, they only have passive radiators at the bottom.
I'm trying to build a HT system and was going back and forth on these last night and this morning. Sounds like a great deal if you get a working pair and can get loud. If the order is wrong or there's an issue with them, it'll be tedius to get them fixed/replaced, but will probably eventually happen. I'd have been fine with that, but if you don't want to bother your neighbors, one comment said they don't sound great at lower volumes, which is why I passed.
These are passive speakers.
Motion dual 5-1/2" floor speakers which are on clearance in BB?
