Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your
Receiver or Amplifier
Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on
flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. Also,
if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that
you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many
consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers
when, in fact, the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in
doubt, leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best.
Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven
at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too
loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can
handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full-rated power
well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your
speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifi-
er or get a bigger one.
Mythos Tower Home Theater Systems
A complete Mythos Home Theater System will normally combine
your Mythos front left and right Tower loudspeakers with a Mythos Three
or Seven center channel loudspeaker and rear surround speakers (which
can also be Mythos or any other Definitive Surround Loudspeaker, our
Bipolar In-Walls, ProMonitors, StudioMonitors, etc.) and one or more
Definitive subwoofers. These superb systems offer exceptional music and
home theater performance with all decoding technologies. Remember, to
achieve proper blending and full performance, it is essential to use only
Definitive speakers to complete your home theater system.
