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.

As for these speakers, definitive is pretty good. I haven't put ears on this set, but the pedigree is there.
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.
