Open Box Failure
Got too excited when I found the Open Box DN8 sub available. Best Buy labeled it as "Excellent" condition. According to BB, excellent condition means: Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings. Includes all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement). The subwoofer is in the worst possible condition one prays they'd never see in an open box. It was dirty, old, and the corners were damaged and chipped. It came in a generic box with barely any styrofoam protection. At least the cable was included. I wasn't holding too much hope that it would even work. But miraculously, it did. Once I set it up properly with my receiver and as-f2 floor standing speakers, I almost forgot the sorry state that it was delivered. My heart and my mind are debating whether or not to return it. My mind says I was cheated and should return it, but as soon as I heard it sing, my heart says keep it. Well, I went against my better judgement, I decided to keep it. It blended so well with my speakers, and it does sound as good as everyone said it would. It sounds just as good and as loud as my old dual 10" subwoofer from a very reputable company. The more I listen to it, the more I stand firm with my decision to keep it. There is another major factor for me to keep it is the price. At more than half the retail price, it's almost a no brainer. I cannot find a used DN8 anywhere for the same price. Not even close. But I feel comfortable keeping it only because of my BB Total coverage. Without it, I wouldn't dare take a chance on this subwoofer. I'm leaving my rating at 2 stars, which also means "Fair" because that's how it should have been marketed. I love Best Buy, but they lied to me about this open box subwoofer. So disappointing. I would recommend the DN8 subwoofer in a heartbeat, just not an open box.

Small but powerful!
Compared multiple subs and decided on the Definitive DN8. Wasn't sure an 8" was going to be sufficient when stacked up against 10" models on the market. Don't let the small package fool you. This thing can thump, Also, love the design. It looks like a small side table and not like a sub. Well done Definitive!
