THE OUTPUT OF THIS SUB IS INCREDIBLE. THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

NONE...

THIS SUB IS AWESOME. WE USE IT PREDOMINANTLY FOR HOME THEATER. THE OUTPUT IS SPECTACTULAR. MY WIFE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT RATTLING THE DISHES IN THE KITCHEN CABINET, WHICH IS A WHOLE ROOM OVER. IT SHAKES THE WOODEN BLINDS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ROOM. IT IS VERY TIGHT FOR A 15" INCH SUB. WITH THE COVER OFF, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT PRODUCES HUGE OUTPUT AT NO WHERE NEAR IT'S MAXIMUM EXCURSIONS. IT'S RESERVE POWER IS EXTRAORDINARY. MUSIC IS GREAT, USUALLY HAVE TO TURN DOWN THE SUB OUTPUT LEVEL THOUGH TO BLEND PROPERLY. VERY FAST TRANSIENT RESPONSE FOR A 15" INCH SUB.

GREAT SUB. YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER FOR THIS PRICE RANGE.

I OWNED A PF1500 (NOT THE TL).

A great sub for the price, will shake your foundation.

None yet.

Great performance for home theater, does the job for music. I have this beast setup with def. tech. BP30 in front, clr 1000 center, bpx in the rear, all connected to Yamaha 2095. When watching Twister in DTS this monster almost knocks the walls down. For the price I don't think there is a better sub out there.

Incredible value, fast,tight bass. Plays very,very deep!

None with this product.

Hands down, without a doubt, the nicest subwoofer I have heard to date. This speaker is clearly not something for apartment dwellers, you would be evicted in short order!

Clearly, this subwoofer has more in the tank than I'll need for sometime to come. I cannot get over the fact that I was missing so much in the total sound of my system, the extension is so much deeper than I had imagined, yet smooth, but still very exciting!

My intention was to use the PF15TL+ for primarily 5.1 material, but placing this with my Yamaha NS-A1738s (which play rather brightly) gives a real complete package for music as well!

My next experiment may very well be the bi-polar DefTech BP
series which I had the good fortune of auditioning when I purchased this sub.

One word about my local dealer here in the Houston area. Sadly, Definitive Technology speakers can only be purchased by ONE dealer in this town and I can't say they were very interested in my business, or in moving any of Def Tech's products. At all three of their stores, they fed me everthing from trying to sell me M&K, or the story "we wont be getting those in"

I drove to College Station for this sub. AudioVideo was most helpful, carried the entire Def Tech line and seemed truly interested in me as a customer. It was worth the 100 mile trip I kid you not!

Tremendous power! House rattling ability, extremely well built. Price!!!!!

Come on, at this price?!

I have already posted a review for this beast, but I have now added a second one, so I just had to tell more....

I think word has already gotten out about the performance of the Definitive subs, but for those who haven't heard them yet, and are in the market for a sub, you simply MUST give this powerhouse a listen. When I was looking for subs I started with the Paradigms, and PSB's, I did like both of them, but as soon as I heard the Definitive I was done, I bought it right there on the spot! Adding the second one was icing on the cake, DEFINETLY NOT NECESSARY THOUGH! Had some extra $$$$ and figured why not?

Down to the details: Thunderous power, very tight, controlled and precise. First up was the Yes Album cd, track 1 Yours is no disgrace, the keyboards kind of carry the tune, and really thunder throughout the whole song. The bass is so strong, you can literally feel it running right through you. I have listened to Yes and this particular song many times over the years, and I have NEVER EVER heard this music reproduced like this! Tight, extremely deep but very controlled. This is the way music is supposed to sound.

Next, House on Haunted Hill dvd. Not a great movie, but the sound more than makes up for this. I honestly had to jump out of my chair and turn the gain on both subs down from 11 o'clock, back to 9 o'clock. I thought the floor was going to cave in! Good thing I own a house and not an appartment, I'd be looking for a new place. The bass was POUNDING. The PF15TL+'s really did what good subs are supposed to. They rumbled when needed and slammed when they were supposed to, the dynamic power on the amps really blew me away. I have never heard a sub play this low and clean ever before. Distortion is not in the vocabulary of the PF15TL+'s, man, are these subs smooth and powerful!

Let's get something straight. With any product, one's decision is always welcomed regardless of whether it's popular. However, if you do not fall within a given majority, it's only fair to ask that you provide us more background regarding how you came to your decision. Specifically, what type of system do you have to which you can justifiably attribute your criticisms or compliments? It's very possible that those who have criticism also have systems worthy of criticism as well. I happen to fall within the majority for this sub...and that is of a favorable review. I think this sub has gets pretty low which is substantiated with my analog sound meter. It gets to 20 Hz no problem but immediately rolls off after that. But let's face it, a sub should not be measured by frequency alone. I think it sounds great as well. I actually have two of them, and they do a fantastic job in my home theater system. Although I don't have a Krell HT system, my Acurus ACT 3 with my Paradigm speakers match very well with my subs and I don't know anyone who does not like the way my system sounds. I did spend some time tuning it all so that it sounds "perfect," at least according to my ears. Maybe those who criticize should do the same. After all, anything worthwhile takes some effort. If you disagree, put your money where your mouth is and let the world know what you have it hooked up to. Then ask yourself, is it your sub, your system, or just you.
