Elegant design
This speaker looks as good as it sounds. Each D9 speaker is meticulously handcrafted to deliver a transcendent listening experience. With artisan-quality details, each cabinet is meticulously sanded, painted with five layers of premium black gloss paint and buffed to a near-mirror finish. Each monitor's acoustically transparent magnetic black grille provides natural, uncolored sound and can be easily removed for when it is time to for the speaker to be shown off.
Quality construction
Every detail of the D9 is designed to enhance your listening experience. The speaker drivers are housed inside a resonance-deadening MDF cabinet, that eliminates vibration and unwanted distortion, while improving overall sound quality. The magnetic black grille helps the speaker blend into your room’s interior decorating while creating an acoustically transparent listening experience.
Optimize your listening experience
These speakers are far too attractive to hide away on some shelf. Purchase the optional ST1 Speakers Stands and put your speakers front and center. The ST1 stands place your speakers at the optimal listening height, positioning your D9 speakers at ear height, so you experience full and powerful audio.

Downsized from BP to Demand Series...
Having downsized our home I was forced to give up a full home theater w/ BP2002 Towers, CLR 2300 Center + 4xBP2X Surrounds + 12" Supercube. Even at 20 years old this was and remains the best sounding home theater and music experience I have heard. Now onto my new setup which is D9's paired with a D5c Center. The sound from these speakers is great and clarity rivals that of the BP series however I initially hoped that with the passive radiators to get by w/o a sub but just couldn't get the sound I wanted so added the D9 to the mix a week later. With the D9 the overall experience improved significantly leading me to the 5 star rating. Make no mistake these speakers are not as immersive and of course not as powerful as the large Bi-Polar arrays having built-in subs but for the size they are worthy competitors and sound great. The glacier white cabinets are attractive and look very sleek and modern and get frequent praise from friends. My only wish would have been that the front of the speakers also been in white vs. the silver finish so they would look better with the covers removed. If you are tired of your sound bar and looking for an attractive, space saving and great sounding system I would highly recommend these speakers. Just like my old setup which was paired to the top of the line Denon AVR I have the D9's+D5c paired to a Denon AVR as well just one that was about 1/8th the price of the previous one. Might add rears later but with the room layout it would be very difficult so for now I'm happy!!
