The Case for Integrated Subwoofers

Real granite bases lend stability as well as beauty

Besides eliminating the need for a floor space hogging separate subwoofer, integrated subs offer dramatic performance benefits. First is the obvious benefit that youΓÇÖll have two subwoofers in the room instead of just one for simply more bass output. Most importantly the subwoofers are perfectly integrated with the mid/high section. Audiophiles often spend dozens of hours moving and adjusting their subwoofersΓÇÖ crossover and phasing controls in pursuit of perfect subwoofer to main speaker "blending."

All you have to do is set the bass volume to match your room and taste then sit back and enjoy audio perfection.

Enclosure

The Mythos STS styling emanates from a parabolic form, grounded as much in technical appropriateness as visual beauty. With emphasis on a narrow, deep column, the parabolic theme is repeated in the lines of the cap and granite base. There is an unabashed acknowledgement of classic "American Streamline" principles in the STS, communicating motion, direction and clean utility.

The slim, curved shape of the enclosure reduces diffraction contributing to the STSΓÇÖs remarkable imaging that is truly startling in its ability to float utterly lifelike sonic images across a broad and deep soundstage. The granite base combined with the heavy Toroidal transformer mounted on the bottom plate of the enclosure provides a low center of gravity for superior stability. The base incorporates 5 adjustable-height metal feet that may be fitted with either smooth furniture glide tips for wood or ceramic floors or spikes for carpeted floors.

The enclosure is extruded Aluminum with internal ribs for stiffening purposes. Strips of damping material are adhered to the inside of the extrusion to suppress ringing. The baffle is "Polystone" a dense and non-resonant mineral-filled Polymer material that is slightly oversized and is force fit into the extrusion "mouth" to prevent the Aluminum from ringing. The midrange/tweeter array is isolated from the woofer enclosure by two pieces of MDF. Both woofer and mid/hi enclosures are sealed.

Choosing Definitive Technology Speakers for Your Home

Definitive Technology offers many quality speakers that are just right for your home. Which speaker, or set of speakers, you choose depends on how much you are willing to spend and which features you prioritize in a home theater environment. All of Definitive Technology's speakers are audiophile-engineered, designer-styled loudspeakers intended for musical reproduction and home theater systems of the highest quality. Thousands of man-hours of critical listening and engineering utilizing the most advanced computer loudspeaker development programs available--along with fundamental research at the world's most advanced loudspeaker research facility--have combined to create unmatched instruments for the reproduction of music or movies in your home.

	Mythos Three Center Channel Loudspeakers fulfill all the requirements of truly great center channel speakers, plus they have the extra added bonus of Mythos style and good looks. A center channel loudspeaker is the heavy-lifter of your multichannel home theater sound system. Over 50% of movie soundtrack information in a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack mix is delivered by the center channel speaker, so it has to be a real workhorse of a loudspeaker. Mythos center channel loudspeakers deliver a wide dynamic soundstage, for excellent imaging and a much larger "sweet spot" (so everyone in the room hears every detail), with more realism and characteristically remarkable center channel clarity.
	The Mythos Gem XL Speakers are yet another excellent breakthrough for Definitive Technology and today's state-of-the-art home theater. The Gems make the distinctive Mythos look -- an internally braced, hand-polished, aircraft grade Aluminum enclosure -- available in superbly designed high performance compact loudspeakers. Because they are voice-matched with the complete Mythos Series, they're perfect for use as compact, convenient surround speakers in a system made up of larger Mythos main speakers, or as a complete Gem-only compact high performance home theater system when combined with a Mythos Seven Center Channel Speaker and a SuperCube or two. Use Mythos with any other loudspeaker system at all -- Mythos Gem Speakers are the most flexible Mythos ever! Mythos Gem Speakers feature an easy-to-use keyhole slot bracket (and mounting screw) for simple wall mounting that looks amazing next to your wall mounted flat screen television. Or use the custom GemStand, with its flowing lines and hidden wire guide, for a superbly coherent and elegant modern look with the convenience of floorstanding speakers.
	SuperCube III Subwoofer: Definitive's SuperCubes are a new breed of powered subwoofers which utilize unique technology and components in order to achieve state-of-the-art performance from remarkably small boxes. Remember, it is important to understand when you are evaluating the SuperCubes that you can not simply compare them to conventional subwoofers based on driver size. Because of their unique technology, the SuperCubes deliver far superior performance to conventional subwoofers which utilize drivers of 50% - 80% larger diameter. Equipped with one 7.5-inch long-throw driver to two 7.5-inch pressure-driven infrasonic bass radiators.

Review from Home Theater Magazine

Review from HomeTheaterMag.com: Definitive Technology Mythos STS SuperTower Speaker System

Why build a system around powered towers like Definitive TechnologyΓÇÖs Mythos STS SuperTower? WouldnΓÇÖt it be easier to live with a subwoofer? Maybe. Maybe not. The subwoofer presents a home theater paradox. If you remove the burden of bass handling from the other speakers, it allows them to be smaller and more numerous without intruding into the room. ItΓÇÖs also safe to say that without subwoofers and smaller speakers, fewer people would let themselves enjoy the benefits of surround sound.
