Definitive Technology Demand Series D17 High-Performance Tower Speakers Pair White

The Demand D17 tower speakers deliver full-range, room-filling sound and precise imaging from a modern, minimalistic design. Fill larger rooms with detailed Hi-Fi or home theatre sound with extended, controlled bass, large dynamics and a wide, precise soundstage. The Demand Series outperforms the competition in its price-class with more performance in a smaller form factor, thanks to exclusive technologies as a laterally offset 1” annealed Aluminium dome tweeter, BDSS™ midrange/woofer sections, new carbon fibre woofers and dual side-firing passive radiators. Demand more from your Hi-Fi and home theatre experience.

Extended Bass Performance With Dual 10" Passive Radiators
The Demand D17 tower speakers feature an exclusive 3-way driver configuration with a 1” annealed Aluminium dome tweeter, a 6.5” BDSS™ midrange woofer, a dual 6.5” carbon fiber bass driver complement with a dual 10” side firing passive radiator configuration for a full range, room-filling sonic performance. The sophisticated and elaborate bipolar passive radiator design produces extended low-frequency reproduction free of port noise, from a smaller enclosure design.

Wide & Precise Sound Stage
Proper tweeters must excel in three ways: they must be stiff, light, and well-damped in order to minimize their material characteristics that will affect high-frequency reproduction. Aluminium is naturally stiff and lightweight, meeting the first two requirements. To achieve the third, Definitive Technology tweeters undergo an annealing (heat treating) process to shape and soften the material, thereby providing the necessary material damping. On top of that, silk surrounds further add soft-dome benefits.

The Aluminium dome tweeters deliver a clear, precise high frequency response and the 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens™ smoothes high frequencies off the tweeter for improved dispersion and a rich and balanced listening experience anywhere in your room.

A unique sonic signature feature of the Demand Series, the tweeter is offset to deliver a more precise centre stereo image and eliminate undesirable symmetric diffraction off the corners of the front baffle.
