BP-8040ST system with CS-8040HD and SR-8040BP
The Perfect Vision

"The BP-8040ST will blow your mind "

"The sound of the BP-8040ST centers on a midrange that offers a good combination of openness, natural warmth, and surprisingly full-bodied dynamics..."

"...this relatively compact speaker offers bass output that is both vigorous and that offers serious low-frequency extension."

"But in a big picture sense, what the BP-8040ST does better than it has any right to for its size or price is to produce huge, wraparound surround soundstages without—and this is the hard part—losing imaging specificity or focus. I really think Definitive is on to something good with its asymmetrical bipolar arrays..."

"...the BP-8060ST succeeds on both fronts, music and home theater "

"Starting with Norah Jones 'Come Away With Me' SACD, the BP-8060ST absolutely nailed her sweet vocals, and when her drummer used brushes instead of sticks, the swishing sound of the wire brushes was perfectly rendered. That's a rare feat; brushes usually sound like a hissing noise, but here on the BP-8060ST, the brushes sound like they do in real life."

"Perfect "

"The first thing I do with any new speaker is evaluate the critical vocal octaves. And I judged the BP-8060ST’s to be, well, perfect."

"Overall, I’d judge the 8060STs to be as free of narrow-band colorations as any speakers I’ve auditioned seriously in the last few years."

"In fact, the system’s overall sonic impact struck me as more than usually involving and encompassing...(The system will also play shockingly loud without any sign of breaking the least sweat on both movies and music.)"

"Bipolar, Refocused and Refined "

"These speakers make big, bodacious, but refined and focused sound that was consistently thrilling, involving, and best of all, flat out fun for music and movies. To these ears, this 'forward focused' take on bipolar has resulted in nothing less than the best speaker I’ve heard yet from Definitive Technology, which is no small praise."

"This is an early speaker-of-the-year candidate, and it earns as enthusiastic a recommendation as I can offer."

"the best bang for your buck deal "

These speakers will delight you with what may be the best bang for your buck deal in the Home Theater marketplace. Despite their small size; the satellites produce tangible mid bass, transparent mid range and sparkling highs...I honestly can’t think of a speaker system that offers better performance at this price point . . . highly recommended.

"I was astonished by what I heard...I couldn’t believe the quality and quantity of sound. "

"I was amazed at the dynamic capability and refined sound of these compact speakers. Each model -- mains, surrounds, and subwoofers -- blended together to provide a well-balanced soundfield that I found very involving when watching movies or listening to music. Because it is so revealing, the Definitive Mythos XTR-50 is best matched with good electronics. If you do, you’ll be rewarded with phenomenal sound to match these speakers’ great looks."

"...it's a fantastic bargain "

"Listening to the Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-50 do its stuff with movie soundtracks was like watching a 98-pound fashion model sling an 80-pound bag of cement over her shoulder: It’s hard to believe it’s possible even after you’ve witnessed it…I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the XTR-50 even for a large, serious media room. And given that Definitive Technology has priced it no higher than most other on-walls even though there’s nothing else like it on the market, it’s a fantastic bargain."

"How Perfect Can Perfect Get? "

"...the beauty of the new Mythos XTR-50 is more than skin deep. At the moment, I don't think there's a better combination of size, appearance, performance, and price in any other on-wall speaker you can buy. The XTR-5O's beautiful styling is apparent upon first sight, but it doesnt take much listening time to realize that this fabulous looking speaker sounds fabulous as well. It's a stunner that will steal the show regardless of how good your flat-panel HDTV is."
