The Mythos Two is an on-wall speaker designed to flank today's modern HDTVs, though they come with a glass tabletop base for non on-wall applications. The Mythos Twos retails for $549.00 each and come in a very fine gloss black finish. The Mythos Two measures in at just under six inches wide by four and a quarter inches deep and 25 and a quarter inches tall and tips the scale at a respectable 15 pounds. Behind the standard black grill cloth rests a single one-inch pure aluminum dome tweeter along with two four and a half inch bass/midrange drivers complimented by a pair of four and a half inch bass radiators. The Mythos Twos have a reported frequency response of 45Hz - 30kHz and are easy to drive with their 91dB sensitivity rating into a benign eight-Ohm load. Definitive recommends powering the Mythos Twos with anything from 10 to 200 watts of power, which makes them ideal speakers for a receiver based home theater system.

Around back of the Mythos Two's extruded aluminum chassis you'll find mounting holes for the included flush mount wall bracket as well as a pair of five-way binding posts that can accept bare wire as well as banana adapters. I suppose the Mythos Two's binding posts can handle spade lug adapters; however due to the relatively tight space between the two binding posts I would recommend going with bare or banana terminated wire.

In terms of sound the Mythos Twos sound far bigger and richer then their size or asking price would have you believe. From the lower midrange on up I'm not sure you'll find a better, more coherent and dynamic speaker of the on-wall variety anywhere at or near the Mythos Two's asking price. The Mythos Two's aluminum dome tweeter is quite refined and airy and doesn't become aggressive or harsh when driven hard, which is more than I can say for a lot of metal dome tweeters out there. The midrange is pure magic, as the Mythos Two seems aptly suited for both music and movies. Vocals and dialog tracks simply shine through the Mythos Two. While the Mythos Twos are essentially a two way speaker, remember they use passive bass radiators and the depths they are able to achieve sonically are remarkable, though for true full range sound and bass impact you'll want to round out their performance with a sub or two. The best thing about the Mythos Twos is that you can have true synergy across all five channels by utilizing them as both your front and rears and center channel, though Definitive does make a Mythos on-wall center that does mate perfectly with the Mythos Twos. With a full compliment of Mythos Twos in your home theater system the surround sound performance is top notch and rivals speaker systems costing three to five times as much all the while being compact and elegant, which is, again, more than I can say for the competition.
