To Roger Kanno,
I've read your reviews online of the Definitive Technology BP-8080ST and Mythos STS [on SoundStage! Hi-Fi] and they were very helpful. But have you ever tried the Mythos ST? How do they compare?
I am in the market for speakers and looking into DefTechs. What do you think the best DefTechs are? I was thinking of Mythos ST for front L/R, BP-8080HD for center, and StudioMonitor 65 for rears. Would you suggest this combination? Or do you think they wouldn’t match well? Should I match speakers within the same series?
I am more of a guy who considers movies/music/games to be equal and want the system optimized in that way, but I guess there isn't one perfect system, so I'll prioritize more for games/movies and music second. Please let me know your advice.
Thanks,
George
I have not had the Mythos ST in my system, but I can say that I slightly preferred the BP-8080ST over the Mythos STS for its added bass extension and "big speaker" sound.
I am not sure why you would consider using the BP-8080HD center-channel with Mythos STs. I would just stick with the Mythos Ten as a center-channel if using the Mythos STs. I am currently using a system that comprises BP-8080STs, a BP-8080HD center, and StudioMonitor 45s used as surrounds with excellent results.
One thing to keep in mind: If you are using the system for home theater without an added subwoofer, the added bass performance of the BP-8080ST over the Mythos STS is a great advantage. I cannot comment on how the BP-8080ST would compare to the larger Mythos in this regard, but I suspect that the BP-8080ST would be better than even the Mythos ST. . . . Roger Kanno
