Product Description
Welcome to Mythos, a completely new concept in elegant high performance loudspeakers: flexible, mix-and-match systems of loudspeakers designed with you and your new high definition flat screen television in mind. Whether you choose a television that mounts on the wall, or a table top television, the Mythos Series offers a cutting edge loudspeaker in a matching size and design. Mythos is the perfect way to add elegant, unobtrusive high end audio to your television style. (Or, build a two-channel high performance music system using a pair of Mythos Loudspeakers matched to a SuperCube Subwoofer.) The Mythos Series is engineered to work together in mix-and-match systems. You choose the main Left & Right speakers based on your own audio desire, the size of your room or the size of your television. Match it to a Mythos Center Channel Speaker, and then add matching Mythos Speakers as Surround Channels; use the same Mythos Speakers as your mains, or choose a different, more convenient size. Add a SuperCube Subwoofer or two to round out the system with thrilling bass effects; Mythos is designed to work perfectly with SuperCube Subwoofers. The Mythos Gems are yet another astonishing 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! (Or, use Mythos with any other loudspeaker system at all! Mythos Gem Speakers are the most flexible Mythos ever!)

Phenominal sound. I am not impressed with the other DT offerings, but interestingly, these are the best sounding surrounds I have ever heard - better than B&W and others much more expensive. I recommend getting 3 voice-matched front speakers for your HT, then these for the surrounds.

I looked for many satelite speakers before deciding on these. The Mythos series have great reviews from hi-fi magazines and the sound has not disappointed me. I'm not an audiophile but I do notice the difference between low and high quality speakers. (I own Onyko and B&W equipment as well)The best part is the looks. They are a very sleak and not too large.

I purchased two Mythos Gem XLs as the surrounds for a speaker setup that has 3 Mythos Tens as front left/right/center and a SuperCube I for subwoofer. You can read my review of the Mythos Tens for a full account of the system.Voice-match to the main speakers is very good. Incuded mounting bracket is simple and secure (keyhole slot on bracket into which a machine screw on the speaker fits) but does not pivot in any way.The sepcs on frequency response given by the manufacturer are misleading. There is no usable bass below about 80 Hz at the lowest, the frequency at which I crossover to the sub. If I were using these as main speakers, I might crossover even higher.Would be a 5-star review if not for price, which I found a bit steep (but paid anyway).
