their walls with thefinest tapestries forexactly the samereasons. Is it anywonder then thatpanel after panelgoes into homes withteeny, tiny, embar-rassingly little home-theater-in-a-grocery-bag speakers next tothem — or simplywith no speakers atall? I blame thesalespeople (or lackthereof). I blame theimperialistic, aggres-sive TV manufactur-ers who would haveus all on bendedknee in subservience to the great, glow-ing flat-panel on the wall. (Talk aboutmust-see TV…) And I blame AM talkradio for convincing people that theidea of really good audio cohabitatingwith nice video is just another wackoliberal concept that will undermine thiscountry. (Yeah, I have issues.)Therein lies my fondness for Defin-itive Technology’s Mythos Seriesspeakers. With their sleek, slendershape, they’re like the speaker equiv-alent of a secret agent stealthily slip-ping into uptight, frou-frou livingrooms everywhere. Once wired andin place, they disperse their subversivepropaganda in the form of truly spec-tacular audio; and two by two, earsaround the world finally come to theirsenses and rally behind our cause. Inmy opinion, Mythos speakers are amarvelous twofer: You get great soundand great looks, regardless of whatreason brought them through the door.The Mythos EthosUntil recently, the Mythos lineupwas missing a small, bookshelf-ishspeaker, if for nothing else than to usea baby surround speaker. Now, theMythos Gem comes along, a modest-size speaker with its Mythos pedigreeapparent in its boyishly good alu-minum looks. Although I’ve heard“my subwoofercan kick yoursubwoofer’s butt ...amazingly lowbut very musicalbass output ...”from thetest benchDefinitive TechnologyMythos Gem Speaker System“it’s hard to imagine another home theater speaker packagethat can offer as much bang — or bling — for the buck.”BY DARRYL WILKINSONFlat-panel TVs — both plasmaand LCD—are wall candy. I’ve neverheard anyone say, “I’m going to buy aplasma TV because the picture looksso much better then what you get froma (fill in your favorite display technol-ogy acronym here) projection TV.”Nope. People buy flat-panel TVs forone or more of three reasons: they’rethin; they’re cool; and, boy, do theymake your friends RGB with envy.Half a millennium ago, I’m sure thatpeople who could afford it covered“Get this mini Mythossystem, let yourfriends ogle its greatlooks, and then fallunder its sonic spell.”So little, yet so big.
