Sound & Vision Top Pick ‘A handsome system that sounds very good with just about everything, and with enough bass extension to satisfy most needs.’

The Definitive Technology Demand Series speakers, which are available exclusively to the custom install market through AWE, deliver room-filling sound, extended bass, and precise imaging from a modern, minimalistic design. Featuring unique technology advancements in the tweeter and midrange/woofer sections, the speakers outperform other products in its price-class with extended performance in a smaller form-factor.

“Definitive Technology introduced the Demand Series in 2017 with three bookshelf speakers, which were warmly received in the market for their graceful design and highly accurate reproduction. Since then, we’ve been busy designing two new tower speakers and a centre channel built on the principles of the original Demand Series bookshelf speakers,” says Michael Greco, Category Director Loudspeakers at Sound United. “We maintained the same level of craftsmanship and material quality in designing and developing the line. Listeners will see familiar technologies, including the 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens, BDSS and Linear Response Waveguide.”

Here, we take a look at the full product range.

Tower Speakers

The Definitive Technology Demand Tower speakers — D15 and D17 — deliver full-range, room-filling sound and precise imaging from a modern, minimalistic design. The Demand D15 and Demand D17 towers have been described as beautifully designed using advanced materials. The speakers also boast a patented mineral-polymer BDSS midrange/woofer for superior and punchy mid-range detail. The D15 and D17 tower speakers feature dual 5.25″ and 6.5″ carbon fibre bass drivers alongside dual 8″ and 10″ side-firing passive radiators. The dual integrated side-firing passive radiators in the tower speakers produce extended low-frequency reproduction from a smaller enclosure design. A larger spider has been added to these models to increase linearity for deep, tight and clean bass response.

Bookshelf Speakers

The Definitive Technology Demand Bookshelf speakers — D7, D9, and D11 — feature technology advancements to both the aluminium dome tweeter and the mid-range/woofer sections to deliver an unrivalled sweet spot, smoother high-frequency reproduction, and three-dimensional imaging for the most technically advanced, premium bookshelf listening experience.

Key Features

1″ aluminium dome tweeter with 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens™
Laterally offset tweeter assembly
BDSS™ midrange/woofer
Linear Response Waveguide™
Integrated passive bass radiator in D9 and D11
Extruded aluminium front baffle
Acoustically transparent magnetic grille

The full range features an annealed 1″ aluminium dome tweeter, which is laterally offset and coupled with a 20/20 Wave Alignment Lens™. This allows for more precise imaging by eliminating undesirable symmetric diffraction from the corners of the front baffle, resulting in a refined and balanced listening experience.

Definitive Technology says the patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) midrange/woofer has been created to promote greater excursion and deliver superior mid-range detail and punchier bass in comparison to competing drivers of a similar size.

In addition, a Linear Response Waveguide™ extends both on-and off-axis frequency response, while improving dispersion for more natural mid-range timbre and precise imaging.

With artisan-quality details, each cabinet is meticulously sanded, painted with five layers of premium gloss paint and buffed to a near-mirror (Level 6) finish. Each monitor’s acoustically transparent magnetic black grilles provide natural, un-coloured sound and can be removed for when the speakers are meant to be shown off.

The Demand Series boasts a clean, modern look with a substantial bead-blasted aluminium baffle that is designed to exude timelessness and blend into any décor. The Demand Series come in both Piano Black and White colourways to match any listening environment.
