Rating: 5.0


Product Description

The Mythos ST SuperTower® combines stunningly beautiful design and precision fit & finish with jaw-dropping ultra high-end performance. No loudspeaker before them has achieved the balance of beauty and brawn at anywhere near their modest price. The Mythos ST's magic starts with a sleek and sexy polished black cabinet mounted on a beautiful polished granite base and continue with our most advanced components and technologies. Topping off the ground-breaking design is the incorporation of SuperCubeTM powered subwoofers right into the enclosures. With two built-in 300 Watt powered subwoofers you'll enjoy double the bass while saving floor space and enhancing the beauty of your room. The Case for Integrated SubwoofersBesides eliminating the need for a floor space hogging separate subwoofer, integrated subs offer dramatic performance benefits. First is the obvious benefit that you'll 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 subwoofers' crossover and phasing controls in pursuit of perfect subwoofer to main speaker "blending." With the Mythos ST you won't have to go through that kind of hassle to get audio perfection. Definitive's engineers have perfectly adjusted the crossover and phase between the subwoofer and main speaker sections to achieve seamless blending and life-like soun

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy ST owner, November 30, 2008
This review is from: Definitive Technology Mythos ST 120v Supertower Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)
I've owned my STs, along with a Mythos 10 center and a pair of Gem XLs for about a year. They are powered by a Denon 4308ci. They are beautiful, and really complement the black frame on my Pioneer plasma. Very high WAF.

But the sound is the important thing, right? I listen to a wide variety of music, from classical to alternative rock to folk. These speakers shine at reproducing the human voice. It's easy to fool someone with a rock guitar or synth, but everyone knows what a voice should sound like. Clarity, balance, and presence are all outstanding with these speakers. Listening to Norah Jones singing "Turn Me On" with these speakers will floor you.

One complaint I have is that there's a pretty narrow sweet spot where you have to sit (at least in my room) for listening perfection, especially in stereo. Everyone else thinks the sound is perfect until they sit in my seat!

I also use this system for my home theater with excellent results. Sound clarity... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Mythos st vs motion 12 vs majik 140, December 11, 2010
This review is from: Definitive Technology Mythos ST 120v Supertower Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)
Im adding this review for people who find themselves in the same situation I was in, wanting a great HT, but want quality music especially classical and acoustic. Living in Dubai, my choices were limited and pricing is usually above anything in the US. I already have the Kuro 60 as my screen but needed the receiver and speakers. I wanted to buy the speaker set for about 5000 but was willing to go up 8000 if quality justified it. Looks were important for my wife and myself too, but she didn't enjoy the idea of the subwoofer :)
Reviews clearly indicated the mythos ST as the best option for my criteria. I wanted to have a chance to compare them with higher quality brands to know what I would be missing. So I went to a high end audio store to listen to what they had. I auditioned the motion series HT setup: these were motion 4 all around with motion 8 center. Great sound in front, but not enough power in surround leading to effects not really feeling immersive. For multichannel music... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Bang For the Buck, September 29, 2011
This review is from: Definitive Technology Mythos ST 120v Supertower Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)
These are very good speakers. I use them just for 2 channel music.
I have had them for a few months, and have put them through the paces with good and bad tunes. I might not be an audiophile, but I have some very good stuff I have assembled over the years.

Most snobs would never give these a listen due to the name of a mass producer on them. That is too bad as mass produced things greatly reduce the cost and either there is quality in the product or there is not. The name badge means nothing. I find this true of many POLK products also. These Def Tec ST Speakers are quality.

Back to the speakers --
For me, don't need a sub for these. If I had them at the TV, of course, but for music - not needed. I have a good sub hooked in, but it is wasted there.

These can work well in a large room. I have them in my basement/bar, and the room is about 1100 sq ft. They handle it with ease. The are very musical, the highs are clear and the bottom... Read more
