Out of the box was not impressed by the speakers(3.0 setup with Denon 3800), but after hooking them up with an external amp they sound amazing. Impressive cabinets, They are my first Def tech, and defenetly not the last.

I had been considering a pair of Definitive Technology D11 bookshelf speakers for quite some time when I saw this D17 3.0 system for sale at an incredible price here on Adorama, which could not be beaten. I honestly didn't believe the price but called and the staff member from Adorama, Louis, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and assured me of the reputation of Adorama, assuaging all hesitation I had in making this purchase. All in for this 3.0 system was $1,499 + tax, vs MSRP above $5K. That's one heck of a deal. I recently caught the HiFi/Audiophile bug and these are my first big step-up speaker purchase. I have these in my condo/apartment and these are perfect for my small-to-medium-sized living room but I can imagine them filling a much larger space with ease and with the right amplifier. I have these paired with an inexpensive but reasonably powerful Onkyo TX-SR393 using CESS-106-6f bi-wire cables purchased from another vendor. The speakers are still in their break-in period but I already notice detail, texture, and a separation of voices and instruments that was absent in my prior pol system. For the money, these speakers are a no-brainer, and I plan on keeping these for many years to come. The mid-low range is a bit weak until the volume is pushed up, but I'm assuming this is the result of the low-end amplifier I am using, and I plan on adding a dedicated subwoofer in the near future, such as the Definitive Technology DN10 or a REL T/7x. I don't have the center channel hooked up, but from reading other reviews, doing so helps fill in the mid-range frequencies, and enables a superior theatre and tv experience. My motivation in purchasing these, aside from the price, was for listening to music of all genres. These speakers are superlative for that task and from my limited research, these speakers clearly offer the best value for money at the moment.

Nice build quality and looks. Tight bass, but in my opinon seemsed to be lacking something in the mid to high frequencies. Also the woofers bottomed out on me once when speakers were set to large in home theater. Went back to the Klipsh's and they had a much more open sound stage for both music and movies. Maybe due to the horn loaded tweeters. I was hoping for better sound based on the reviews of this being audiophile quality, but sadly after auditioning them for a month, I went back to the Klipsh's and noticably improvement in sound.

Great looks ang good mid and highs. You can use them till 40hz but would recommend a subwoofer for low frequencies I saw boost in bass with biamping.
