5My System  Feb 17, 2010
My system consists of Mythos 4's for the Front speakers, Mythos 5's for the rear surrounds, a Mythos 3 for the center channel and a Super Cube II for the sub. I drive these with a Denon 2310ci and my video is a Pioneer Elite KURO signature series 60" monitor 141FD. My AV room is around 14' x 20.

The sound from this system is really nice. Clean and uncolored, very natural best describes it. The system also has a great Wife Acceptance Factor. The look is classy and does not look out of place in the room. The center channel is amazingly clear. I've always had a complaint about the muffled center channel sound on many home systems. This center delivers. The Denon Audyssey setup leaves a sound stage that is close to perfect. No holes or hotspots. The sub is powerful and moves a tremendous amount of air for it's diminutive size.

I find that the system is as good for listening to music as it is for surround sound and while not inexpensive, it is one of the best bang for the buck systems I've ever listened to. I've owned this system for a little over a year and would buy it again today in a heartbeat.

5Couldnt pass it up  Sep 26, 2009
Considering that the price is half for the silver compared to the black or either finish from the major electronics chain, it appeared to be a great deal. Mfg and specs looked good and after using it for a month or so I feel like I got a steal... they must have had a lot of the polished aluminum left in stock after flat screen mfgs started making only black frames. I immediately noticed a significant improvement in sound quality over the center speaker I replaced.

5Mythos Silvers are a Steal  Sep 21, 2009
The Mythos 3 is competent mid-level center speaker with no discernible shortcomings. After weeks of researching, I settled on Definitive Technology's Mythos line of speakers. Despite most of them being released several years ago, they still have a modern look. However, the main attraction is value. Many of the silver-finish Mythos speakers are easy to find on sale for over 50% off. Even at full MSRP, they perform very well for their price. My configuration is: 2x Definitive Technology Mythos 1 Tower Speaker (Single, Silver) fronts, 1x Definitive Technology Mythos 3 Center Speaker (Single, Silver) center, 2x Definitive Technology Mythos Gem Satellite Speakers (Pair, Black) surrounds, 1x Epik Sentinel subwoofer (Def Tech supercubes are slick and good for their size, but overpriced). My receiver is a Denon AVR2310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver with 1080p HDMI Connectivity (aka Denon 890). It has more than engouh power for me, I usually listen at -20 to -30 db.

The Mythos 3 lends a clear and vibrant voice to TV shows and fills the soundstage with impressive realism. The size is pretty significant; if you're considering the Mythos 3, you might want to consider upgrading to the Definitive Technology Mythos 9 Aluminum Speaker (Single, Silver) for a truly crystal clear sound with only a slightly bigger footprint. Of course, you'll be spending almost twice as much for a Mythos 9. I believe the Mythos 8 (slimmer) is also recommended for pairing with Mythos 1 fronts, however the 9 in silver is almost the same price. On the slighlty cheaper side, there is the Mythos 7; but I preferred the fuller sound of the Mythos 3.

Overall, the Mythos 3 is an amazing performer for the price and will be the best center for many looking to get great 5.1 performance on a $2000-$2500 budget.


UPDATE: It looks like mythos silver speakers are practically sold out everywhere. While the Mythos line are still great speakers even at the higher price for the black cabinets, they will require a 5.1 budget of $4000.

5Definitive Technology Methos 3 Center Speaker  Sep 09, 2009
I have owned several center speakers before, so far this is the best center speaker I have ever seen. You won't believe it until you hear it. It worth the money, highly recommend it. Thanks.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
