loudspeakers utilize state-of-the-art components (cast-basket
homopolymer-coned bass-midrange drivers, moving coil 
ferrofluid-cooled pure aluminum dome high frequency radiators,
long excursion pressure coupled woofers, uniphase crossover 
networks, etc.), a non-resonant aircraft-grade aluminum mono-
coque cabinet, low diffraction construction and complete magnet-
ic shielding in order to achieve the most lifelike sound possible 
in your listening room for many years to come.

The Definitive Technology Mythos loudspeakers are high-

definition loudspeaker systems designed for use in audio/video
systems of the highest quality. Because of their wide range, high
power handling and natural articulate clarity, they are ideal for
use in conjunction with all surround sound decoding systems,
including Dolby Pro Logic*, Dolby Digital AC-3*, DTS*, Dolby
Digital EX*, as well as all 6.1 and 7.1 systems. In addition, the
Mythos loudspeakers are ideal for use as rear or side surround
