Summary:
After reading some good reviews, I had high hopes for these speakers, but what a let down these Mythos with build in subs. are! I really wonder if these pro. reviewers are being paid for writing these (good speakers selling) stories...

I 'tested' them in a hifi-shop in a seperate room, with no other speakers in there. This room was pretty 'dead', so nothing could be added to, or interfere with the bass output. They were standing in open space, with plenty of room behind and beside them. The couch I was sitting on was also away from the wall behind me. The volume settings of the build in subs. were by starting off in the middle position.

As soon as the music appeared, I heard a thumping restless unsteady bass, that spoiled the music scene and stereo picture completely. I triied all kinds of music and many different volume settings on the subs., but nothing helped. Only when the volume settings were fully down, the stereo picture and music scene became steady; but then there was absolutely no bass, with a flat and dead sound.

These speakers are probably okay for people who just want to hear noise and bass, in audio or home cinema, and who don't care for a quality sound (most people...). For quality audio they are absolutely hopeless and well over priced!

Price Paid:  $3500.00 from online

Summary:
One of the Best Values in all of Audio and as far s overall balance in a loudspeaker even at $6k would still be a excellent choice
I forgot with a built in subwoofer system at 300 watts per side
a well thought loudspeaker system for the Audiophile as well as main home theatre loudspeaker !

Strengths:
Open and Airy on top , the upper and lower balanced midrange units are their
patented designs and the only dual surrounds in the world everything is tight fast and incledible resolving power especially in this price class.
The Bass is solid across the board ans is fully adjustable .

Weaknesses:
None especially against speakers up to 2x it's price .
The Binding posts are my main gripe they should be a WBT type and be flush mounted to allow thicker Audiophile cables .I am using Bananas.
The points it comes with are minimal ,I bought aftermarket 1/4-20 1" cones which really tighten up the soundfield top to bottom for little moneys .

Similar Products Used:
Maggi 1.6, Martin logan request, Acoustic zen adagio, Aerial 10t
all were very good in their respective stregths .the Mythos - ST
had a bit of everything in spades .I am totally happy !
