A beast
I needed some low volume sub for that extra bass without having to turn up the volume. This definitely delivers. I only have Definitive Technology speakers as they are some of the best. I already have 2 tower speakers of the same brand and have the powered subs in each speaker now turned down a bit and tuned to adding this 12” sub. I now have a full room of clean bass no matter what the volume is. I did have to turn the sub up all the way and turn the sub setting all the way up on my amp to get that low bass at low volume. But it works great. I actually purchased 2 subs to use but only needed…

Unhappy buyer
So the product is excellent the way it came in was horrible. Packaging was all torn and broken. No bubble wrap missing remote damage on all four corners very unhappy with how they handled the situation.

Definitive Technology
I have 2ea. Definitive Technology - Descend 12” in my home theater room. My theater was designed and setup by experts. all speakers are in wall setup, room seats 6, also using the denon - AVR S970H 7.2 CH. I have another Dn12” in my main living room and 2ea. Dn10” in my main bedroom. All my systems are using Denon receivers these speakers deliver way more than you’ll ever need

Definitive technology
a bit on the big size for a 12 inch sub, for the price I was expecting something better
-
Excellent sound
I’m partial to Def Tech speakers and this aesthetically and sonically goes well with my CS 9080, BP 9040s, BP 9020s and legacy BP 7006s so my 7.1 base layer is complete. I might connect the LFE to my 7006s to get 7.3 but may wait and get a mini DSP and play around with it.
