Product Description
Definitive Technology Mythos Center Channel Loudspeakers fulfill all the requirements of truly great center channel speakers, plus they have the extra added bonus of Mythos style and good looks. A great center channel loudspeaker should be flexible enough to offer multiple placement options, including convenient and easy on-wall mounting, and aimable table-top mounting (additionally, they should be engineered to perform well even in built-in behind-a-screen mounting situations). The Mythos Center Channel Loudspeakers deliver all of these performance perks, in a style and look that is the perfect complement not only to your table- or wall- mounted flat screen television, but to the rest of the elegant Mythos Series. They are engineered for high performance in a variety of placement situations, including flush wall-mount placements that are sonically-unforgiving. Mythos Center Channel Loudspeakers deliver a wide dynamic soundstage, for excellent imaging and a much larger "sweet spot" (so everyone in the room hears every detail), with more realism and characteristically remarkable center channel clarity.

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.

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.

Comment:
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.

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.
