Ratings: Definitive Technology Mythos Gem Speaker System

Build Quality: 97
• It's hard to find such internal damping and cabinet density in a satellite speaker at this price
• Classic Definitive Technology looks conceal a subwoofer that's built like a tank

Value: 98
• My subwoofer can kick your subwoofer's butt
• It only looks—and sounds—expensive
• Turn it on, and you'll completely forget how much you paid

Features: 94
• Variable crossover, phase, and output control on SuperCube III
• Wall-, stand-, or shelf-mount for Mythos Gems and Seven
• Silver or Black Mythos finishes

Performance: 97
• Gem/SuperCube integration is so good it's scary
• Similar drivers and cabinet construction creates a nearly flawless soundfield

Ergonomics: 98
• Included wall brackets are easy to mount
• Threaded inserts for pivot mount • The Gems have a small wallprint, and the Mythos Seven has small footprint

Overall Rating
The Mythos Gems and matching Mythos Seven center channel work so seamlessly with the SuperCube III, create such a coherent soundfield, and look so gorgeous together, it's hard to imagine another home theater speaker package that can offer as much bang—or bling—for the buck.
