Perfect design to accompany your flatscreen
The Mythos One offers a rare combination of style and substance. This tall, sleek floor-standing speaker tower is designed to match the aesthetics of your flatscreen, plasma, or other television as a left or right main speaker. Even though the Mythos One loudspeaker stands on its own, it is designed to work as an integral part of Definitive Technology's Mythos Speaker System. For a high-performance multi-channel sound system, use Mythos floor-standing loudspeakers as your front main speakers and other Mythos table- and wall-mounting speakers as surround elements. Combine this setup with a matching Mythos center channel speaker above or below your television and extend your bass deeper with a Definitive Technology SuperCube subwoofer. Or two.
Tower of power
Although designed to be included in a Mythos Speaker System, the Mythos One Floorstanding Loudspeaker produces superb sound on its own. With the Mythos One, your home theater will gain a wide, dynamic soundstage, pinpoint imaging, and superb realism. Audio elements will create amazing depth, putting you in the center of the cinematic action. The Mythos One incorporates proprietary damping technologies that ensure total rigidity, D'Appolito Driver Arrays in narrow PolyStone baffles and Definitive's exclusive Planar Technology Pressure Driven Bass Radiators to enhance low frequency response. The Mythos Four is designed to be perfectly voice-matched with the whole Mythos line for easy mix-and-match system building, and when the Mythos family is all together in one place, you should watch out, the sonic realism will be intense. The Mythos collection is designed without mid-bass peak making it easier to match a subwoofer to the system to create a natural combination resulting in adrenaline-pumping, take-no-prisoners sound that will leave you breathless.
Pinpoint precise imaging
The Mythos One and its distinguished relatives feature a forward-radiating design, unlike the bipolar design associated with most other speakers. As a result, the Mythos System soundstage is so intimate in its imaging and precise in its reproduction that a museum-quality sonic portrait is created. Much like its external elegance, the underlying nature of the Mythos System is one of beautiful blending and unerring accuracy. With Mythos, sound effects, dialogue, and music will all be enhanced with such subtlety and sincerity you'll feel like watching your favorite movies all over again in order to hear what you've always been missing.
A simply amazing system
The Mythos One comes with a tempered glass base with carpet spikes and rubber feet to give it stability and un-matched elegance and style when placed next to your video equipment. Build a home theater system using Mythos Towers as your front main speakers and other Mythos Speakers as surround elements. Or, use four Mythos Floorstanding Tower Loudspeakers as your front main and surround elements for the ultimate home theater experience. You can easily implement the Mythos Four with other Mythos System speakers to create an acoustically and aesthetically stunning customizable array. Five-way binding posts on Mythos System Components make connecting the Mythos Four and other Mythos speakers to a Mythos Sound System flexible, convenient, and easy. Yes, the Mythos System's simplicity is remarkable and the result is simply amazing!

I just bought them due to the great price because I needed larger speakers to augment my smaller B& W CDM series in my entertainment center. I wanted something that was easily moved from one room to another but didnt want to sacrifice quality sound. I am very impressed by the quality and amount of sound that comes from these things! I used them in a large room using two Jamo 12 inch sealed subs. I recommend them and purchased them without finding any quality reviews by either regular customers or audiovideo reviews. GREAT DEAL in the SILVER finish and worth the regular price in my humble opinion.Thx Def tech for following through!
Great value, sound and aesthetics! (August 07, 2009)

Researched front and center speakers to include Klipsch 52,62 and Definitive Tech Mythos series. Visited several retail outlets to audition the sound of these speakers.
Without a doubt the Definitive Tech Mythos one towers combined with a Mythos three center channel gave the best, fullest sound- exceptional in the middle range frequencies resulting in an enveloping sound field. Andrea Bocelli will never sound better without these speakers-only stage front passes to a live concert can outmatch!
From my point of view, I found the silver aluminum body with the black grill guard more appealing than plain black and feel the overall package adds a touch of class to my home theater system. These speakers sound as good or even better than some of the $5000 a piece towers I listened too........Definitive Tech puts out an exceptional product which is hard to match!
For your information, I have the system set up as a 5.1 with factory suggested crossovers for the Mythos one towers at 60 hz, the center at 100 hz. I have a Velodyne sub set at 120 hz, and Mirage Prestige Nanostats surrounds set to 120 hz. The Denon AVR 2809 sets the sound stage for an acceptional home theater and music hall!
