Definitive TechnologyDescend DN12 12" Subwoofer (2021 Model) - Optimized for Movies and Music, New 3XR Architecture, 1500W Peak Class H Amplifier & (2) Pressure-Coupled 12" Bass Radiators, Black

Bought as a replacement for 20+year old definitive sub this was an eye and ear opening revelation. Construction is high quality and this weighty subwoofer looks sleek and refined in my space. Setup was straightforward with the included remote simplifying the process allowing you to get the settings dialed in from your listening position.The quality once setup is outstanding. I am using with older definitive tech mythos speakers and with both music and home theater use the bass blends perfectly, punchy and clean in the mid bass while digging deep with movie soundtracks. Although this is a 12 inch sub it sounds larger and retains an amazing clarity even as you lean in and push the volume to house shaking levels. Extremely pleased with this purchase and recommend without hesitation!

Important: this sub ships with sensitivity at -6db.Was excited to replace my old sub. Connected it and was underwhelmed- only in certain parts of the music I heard the deep lows.Come weekend- read the manual and tinkered with the settings. Set input sensitivity to 0 dB- my disappointment turned to delight. The sub begun to rock. High quality deep bass- not the boomy cheap sub sound but nice and deep.I'm glad I got the 12 inch. The 15 inch too large and the 10 inch would have to work real hard to keep up with my taste in sound. The 12 inch is quite huge and heavy. I like that it's heavy. Means it's well built and it's own weight will keep it from getting affected by vibrations.I keep display at off. Sound at deep as I only use it for music. Have it connected to my speaker out on the srereo amp ( sony ta-1es) for better sound integration. Not using line in.The remote is useful to tinker with settings. The remote build quality is surprisingly really cheap. Seems like a $2 item. Thankfully, after a couple of weeks- all the tinkering is done and then one really does not need the remote as such. All the same- dt should not have made it so low quality.Do I recommend the sub?- a really low 25hz - Yes!Ps- I bought a new power cable for the subwoofer. A monstrous thick 2nd hand PS Audio shielded power cable. Sub didn't get louder buy it certainly got cleaner and went down even lower. Upgrading the power cable added a new dimension to my sub. 6 months since I bought the sub- I'm very happy with it.

I like everything so far. I bought the 12 and then upgraded to the 15". If you're used to that really deep bass in a pretty good size room 20 x 18 def pend the extra for the 15" I don't write long reviews but I'm very happy.

This sub sounds amazing and it's huge! Better make sure you have enough space for this monster. I was in between this one and the SVS 4000 im happy with my decision so far. Unbelievable the sound difference between this one and my old Polk psw505. I know there is a huge price difference between the two but I was blown away by the sounds I wasn't hearing before due to the polk sub. This sub is amazing for movies and music. Everything's I have thrown at it it can handle. I like my movies and music loud. I have never heard any distortion whatsoever the clarity is pretty awesome. It makes movies and spatial audio feel like you are there. I have a 7.1.4 system all definitive technology speakers. I hope this helps and happy listening.

This was 100% worth the money. Changed our surround sound system.
