Leon Speaker to Show $17k Leon Seven On-Wall Speakers

Press Release
Showing for the first time at CEDIA 2007, the Leon Seven Series promises to take on-wall audio to the highest possible level. It provides an extreme high-fidelity audio experience, and exudes the sleek element of modern design unlike any other from an on-wall speaker. The Leon Seven utilizes extraordinarily high-end drivers, including two hand-made German Eton 7-inch patented HEXACONE long throw woofers, and the Raven R2 True Ribbon tweeter (all aluminum diaphragm) from Orca.

Press Release
Denver, CO—September 6, 2007— Today at CEDIA Expo Sound Room #3 in the Colorado Convention Center, Definitive Technology announced a new model addition to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed Mythos line of on-wall high performance loudspeakers. The Mythos Ten is 34-1/2" H x 6-1/16" W x 4-3/8" D, perfectly proportioned to match 50-inch and larger flat panel video displays.

Each Mythos Ten contains two high-definition Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) 5-1/4" drivers (patent pending) that are pressure coupled to two 6" x 10" racetrack-shaped planar medite low-bass radiators for a total bass radiating surface greater than that of a single 12-inch conventional woofer. The result is bass extension and power unheard of in a slim, on-wall loudspeaker. The bass roll-off of the Mythos Ten is smooth and controlled, allowing it to…
