Top Pro

250-watt subwoofer

This exceptionally powerful subwoofer will bring incredible bass to your sound system setup. On the front you'll get the 8" woofer, which is accompanied by a low bass radiator on the bottom. They both work together to produce the most powerful bass possible. Included in this is a 250-watt amp for optimal bass response. See More

Top Con

This system doesn't include wires

You'll have to purchase those yourself. See More

Top Pro

Balanced Dual Surround System for greater clarity

Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) by Definitive utilizes both edges of the speaker (instead of just the outer edge), allowing the small satellite speakers to sound phenomenally loud and clear. See More

Top Pro

5 year warranty

The speakers are covered by a 5 year warranty, however the subwoofer is only covered for 3 years (which is still better than the Bose Acoustimass 6 Series V option's 1 year subwoofer warranty). See More

Top Pro

Available in black or white

Two color options help make the satellite speakers blend in with your room. See More

Top Pro

5 year warranty for speakers

The speakers are covered under warranty for 5 years, although the amp is only covered for 1 year See More

Top Con

Everything runs through the Acoustimass module

Speakers may be out of phase - it's a relatively easy fix (if this issue occurs, just reverse the polarity of the affected speakers), but something that can happen. See More

Top Pro

Carefully tuned audio

The human ear naturally hears high pitch sounds as louder, and this system utilizes Integrated Signal Processing to compensate for this, especially at low volume. Similarly, LFE & Bass level control modifies the balance of treble and bass based on low frequency effects on movie soundtracks See More
