Enjoy smooth, detailed highs with balanced mids and clean low frequencies with your amplifier and the piano black, right Definitive Technology Demand Series D15 Floorstanding Speaker. It features dual side-mounted 8" passive radiators to augment the bass coming from the dual 5.25" carbon fiber BDSS mid-woofers. A 5.25" polypropylene midrange driver and a 1" aluminum dome tweeter round out the speaker's driver complement. The tweeter is laterally offset to the right to minimize symmetric diffraction off the corners of the front baffle; this makes it designed for use as a right-channel speaker. The tweeter also features a 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens to help enhance dispersion.

The D15 accepts 50 to 300W of power from your amplifier via its binding post inputs. Dual binding post pairs make the speaker suitable for bi-wiring and bi-amping. Carpet spikes and hard floor guides are included, as well as an acoustically transparent speaker grille and a cleaning cloth.

Aluminum tweeters are used due to their stiff, lightweight nature. They undergo an annealing process to shape and soften the material in order to dampen excess vibration. The 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens helps smooth high frequencies off the tweeter for enhanced dispersion and balanced listening nearly anywhere in your room. Further, the tweeter is offset to deliver a more precise center stereo image and minimize undesirable symmetric diffraction off the corners of the front baffle.

The Balanced Double Surround System mid-woofer helps provide greater linear excursion and output for augmented midrange detail.

The Linear Response Waveguide is engineered to extend both on- and off-axis frequency response and improve dispersion for more natural midrange timbre and more precise imaging.

Carbon fiber offers enhanced rigidity to the cone for deeper bass notes while minimizing cone distortion that can occur with other, less rigid materials. Carbon fiber is a strong but lightweight material, making it well suited for sound reproduction. It helps the woofers handle higher excursion without deforming, providing deep, clean low frequency.

The aluminum front baffle has a bead-blasted finish designed to fit nearly any décor.

The crossover integrates polypropylene metal-film capacitors and air-core inductors designed to deliver low distortion and high clarity for the tweeter circuitry and signal linearity for the low frequency reproduction, without compromising the midrange.

The cabinet is hand-crafted with a near-mirror finish.

The grille can be removed when you want to enjoy looking at the drivers uncovered, but can be left on the speaker while still enjoying natural, uncolored sound.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. is the speaker is good for hi fi sound hi fi system.is it best for hi fi music system or home theater system?

A: I'm using it for my home theater with Yamaha 3040 receiver. The sound is great.I haven't test it for HiFi sound. So, can't really tell.

Q: 2. What is the recommended caliber for these speakers?

A: Depending upon the length of your speaker wire run, I would not use a wire gauge smaller than 18 AWG: Pyramid High Quality 18 Gauge Speaker Zip Wire (100' Spool) MFR #RSW18100 • BH #PY18HQSZW100

Q: 3. Could tell me the exact package box dimension of this speaker

A: Package Weight 29 lb Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 40 x 14 x 11.5"

Q: 4. Do they have wifi speakers?

A: These speakers are wired and require a receiver.

Q: 5. What is the country of manufacture? (Where are the speakers made?)

A: It is made in MALAYSIA.

Q: 6. I am considering getting 2 of these or purchasing the ss-cs5 (bookshelf) set. I am wondering though if anybody could explain just how much a difference in sound performance there would be between them? These will cost $188 more as they are sold separately. I will be driving them with an old Pioneer receiver in a stereo setup.

A: Assuming that both types are set up correctly (height, room correction, etc..) speakers with the same drivers will perform similarly. Towers generally will have better imaging and a more robust lower end. Room size makes a difference.

Q: 7. Are these speakers sold by singles or a pair?

A: This is sold as a single speaker only.

Q: 8. Are these Sony speakers magnetically shielded?

A: Yes they are.

Q: 9. What is the ideal speaker wire to get for these speakers? What's the highest gauge can I use with these speakers?

A: I suggest using 14-gauge speaker wire for cable runs up to 100' feet. Anything heavier is simply wasteful if you are using a quality, sufficiently powered amplifier/receiver.

Q: 10. Can they be used for a sound bar back speakers?

A: Only if there is a way to hook them up to the soundbar. These are designed to be used as a front L/R stereo pair. Seems like overkill for rear speakers with a soundbar.
