A couple of interesting Def Tech installs - first one I just completed. Another one starting in January.


In historic Williamsburg (Brooklyn) NY. I was in a pretty sweet $1MM+ apartment replete with walls of glass overlooking the East River/Lower Manhattan Skyline installing Def Tech 7002s, CLR2500 powered center, BPX surrounds, Supercube and a Denon 4306. For TV, my customer decided to go with a 46" Bravia 1080p LCD (note: we do not carry Sony), and the picture was stunning. It did Digital non-HD cable very well but HD cable as well as DVD (upcoverted through a Samsung DVD player) was spectacular. Bi-polar sound works very well in those high City apartments -- Great Acoustics in his vaulted livingroom -- the Def Techs really rocked in this set-up.

In this upcoming job in which I'm still finalizing the specs, I'll be wall mounting the Sharp 57" LC D90U 1080p LCD along with 6x Mythos Eight speakers (3 for the fronts and 3 for the surrounds) with a Supercube Reference up front. The Mythos Eight has Two 5 1/4" bass/mid drivers, two 5 1/4" pressure-driven bass radiators, & one 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. I know it will sound unbelieveably amazing and I love the idea of using identical 8's all around espeically matching the center. Although rated down to 38Hz, I plan to use one crossover at 80 Hz and let the SC Reference handle all the bass below 80 Hz. Also going in is a BDI Avion Noir with either an Arcam AVR 350 (or Cambridge 640R) powering the Mythos set-up. Everything routed into a Shunyata power conditioner (type still TBD). I'll be sure to take pictures and post them.
