Definitive Technology Mythos STS System
This remarkable system is centered on the extraordinary Mythos STS, the speaker about which Stereophile magazine said "just might be the best loudspeaker I've heard for $3000/pair" and SoundStage.com raved "...performance unrivalled at its price point." The Mythos Nine center and Mythos Gem surrounds are perfectly matched to the STS for seamless surround performance. Featuring high impact SuperCube powered subwoofers built-in to the STS SuperTowers, this system does not require a separate powered subwoofer to deliver engrossing and dynamic sound from movie soundtracks and your favorite music CDs.
Features
- If the system shown here does not exactly meet your needs, fret not. All of the components of this system are packaged and sold separately allowing you to mix and match Mythos main, center and surround models to create the home theater system that best meets your needs.
- For example you may want to substitue in-wall or in-ceiling speakers as the surround speakers or make the system a mind-blowing uber-performer for the largest rooms and most demanding listeners by adding a SuperCube Reference subwoofer. The system shown on this page is one of many possible systems that may be assembled based around the Mythos STS.

About Definitive Technology
Definitive Technology has been committed to building superior sounding home audio and home theater loudspeakers since 1990, when the company was founded by Sandy Gross, Don Givogue and Ed Blais—lifelong audiophiles and experts in speaker design, acoustics and marketing. Definitive Technology loudspeakers are among the most positively reviewed and most often honored high performance loudspeakers on the market as well as being the best-selling premium home loudspeakers in the US.
Since its inception, Definitive has won an astounding number of awards and over-the-top enthusiastic reviews from Consumer Electronics industry associations as well as leading audio/video print magazines and websites. Frankly there are too many to list them all here but the photo on this page gets the point across.
Most recently a speaker system consisting of Definitive Technology Mythos STS SuperTowers, Mythos Nine center and Mythos Gem surrounds was awarded Sound & Vision magazine’s “Audio Product of the Year;” not merely “Speaker of the Year” but “Audio Product of the Year.” The system also won SoundStage!.com’s 2008 Reviewer’s Choice Award for Aesthetics and Sound. Home Theater magazine called the STS system “Crisp, Lush, Focused” and tagged it with a coveted Top Pick award. The STS also took home two Innovations Design and Engineering awards at CES 2009, one for High Performance Audio and the other for Home Theater Speakers. One industry award is an honor, five is a sweep.
