Hi All
Wanted to get some feedback from other forum members how there experiences (if any) have been with Def Tech. We have been Def Tech speakers for over 15 years in our family and just not happy with the fact that every few years or in some cases months their amps on the powered speakers just fail or something happens to them. Even with me I have the annoying pop sound that comes when either the speakers power on or when going into standby mode. Is there anybody who has found a work around these pop sounds from the powered towers?
Thanks for your help on this matter.
Hi,
I know this is an older discussion, but I’m seeking solutions rather than just throwing away my speakers.
I’ve been using Definitive Technology’s Mythos STS for around 5 years, and while I love the sound, I’ve had several issues:
- The rubber ribbon inside both speakers came off, causing strange vibrations.
- The plastic covers detached due to poor adhesive.
- The potentiometer failed on one speaker, leaving me unable to adjust the bass.
I contacted their customer service, and after months of waiting, I was told there were no replacement parts available, making my speakers irreparable.
At first, I thought these were a bargain, but if they’re disposable after only 5 years, not so much anymore. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially for a brand that positions itself as affordable high-end. The lack of support after just 5 years is a huge disappointment. I’m hoping to find a solution, as I really don’t want to toss them.
Regarding the popping sound, I’ve encountered similar issues, but haven’t found a fix yet. Hopefully, someone else here has a workaround!
Good luck!
