Def Tech 9080x question
A buddy of mine has some Def Tech speakers and the plate amps are not repairable and out of warranty. Def Tech is apparently offering him a substantial discount on a pair of 9080X, any thoughts on those speakers ?

I see on the DT website that they have a 50% off sale going on them now. $999 each. Is the discount they are offering less than that?2 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL Carbon Limited, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, Modwright PH 150, Denon DP-59l w/Denon DL-301MKII, WAY Silver 3 Ana+ Speaker Cables, WAY Silver 4+ Interconnect Cables, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon and Hurricane Power Cables

Slightly better than half but if they’re offering 50 percent off on website he isn’t getting Jack. So much for customer service huh?

Imo only I own the BP7002 , CLR 2500
I have heard the newer ones and for what they are , they sound good but I feel mine are better and built better. My buddy has two plate amps fail under warranty on the 9080 FWIW. II still have the originals from 2007 , knock on wood no failures yet. But I am not 100 sure about their quality control nowadays. My Def tech Trinity sub still works great too. From 2010. -

Saw this and gonna contact him.
Have had zero luck finding someone that will repair my B.A.S.H amp in my Infinity Prelude MTS subwoofers.
Would be great if he can then I don’t have to use my subs for FIRE WOOD! -
The new lines look and feel like chi fi plastic- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

He said Def Tech repaired his plate amps but they were still F’d up when he got them back. He has an email into them to see if the discount they offered was from the sale price or what? We’ll see what they say. I think he’s had lots of probs with their plate amps.

Honestly doing anything with the new stuff is just bad money chasing bad money.
Sell them for parts or just sell as is and switch it up completely

I had the CS-8080HD that I purchased locally for really cheap and flipped. Compared to my CLR-3000? It was smaller, lighter, and did feel like it had cheaper build quality overall. But the sound quality was VERY close, so close in fact that I considered selling the 3000 instead, but better thoughts prevailed...

The clr3000 is a beast... Changing the junk crossover parts would unveil a whole other speaker underneath.
The fact a twenty year old speaker with old electrolytic caps sounded "the same" as the new stuff unfortunately isn't a solid endorsement for the new stuff 😉- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
