delights you may never have experienced before. On good material, the ST system helps instruments, vocals, and even the recording space come to life in a brilliant way. And because the Mythos STs and Ten center channel use the best tweeters Definitive has ever produced, treble textures and details sound at once clean, yet also smooth (a signifi- cant step forward from tweeters Definitive has used in the past). Similarly, bass textures and transients are handled with a wonderful com- bination of speed, clarity and punch — quali- ties that rarely travel together in most speak- ers. With the STs, you’ll never have to wonder if bass lines are being played on an acoustic bass, electric bass, or bass synthesizer — you’ll just know.

“incredible value ... can put you in the performance ballpark of speaker systems that can carry five-figure price tags, but for about half the cost”

BOTTOM LINE Definitive’s Mythos ST system is one of the rare few that sounds great on movies, but even better with music. Exceptionally revealing, the ST package will show you how your system components and favorite movies or music really sound. Don’t be surprised to hear rich new layers of detail. In simple terms, the Mythos ST system can put you in the performance ballpark of speaker systems that carry five-figure price tags, but for about half the cost. TPV
