Definitive Technology Bipolar SuperTower BP-8020ST - speaker - wired

• Manufacturer: Definitive Technology
• Part number: IDDA
• Description: The BP-8020ST is a third generation BP SuperTower and makes use of many of the most advanced technologies, including a approach to bipolar speaker design called Forward Focused Bipolar Array. The BP-8020ST SuperTower is the result of over 20 years of research and development to create the perfect balance of style, convenience, and most of all performance in a floor-standing loudspeaker. Many experts and in-the-know listeners agree that bipolar speakers are superior for both music and home theater. With bipolar speaker technology each speaker incorporates two sets of drivers, one facing forward and the other facing to the rear so that the speakers radiate sound both forward and rearward exactly as sound is produced in real life. Forward Focused Bipolar Array technology is Definitive's improvement to the original Bipolar designs. This technology combines the huge life-like imaging benefits of bipolar design with improved pinpoint localization of soloists, greater placement flexibility, and superior intelligibility. The BP-8020ST combines a built-in long excursion 8" subwoofer driven by a 150-watt Class D amplifier and vented via a critically tuned, wide cross sectional area slot bass vent. The slot shape and wide mouth area of the vent minimize air turbulence for cleaner, deeper, and more efficient bass. The brawny amplifier features protection systems to tightly monitor and control the woofer system to prevent bad noises and woofer damage at high volume levels. The bottom line is the BP-8020ST's bass will rock your world like no other speaker anywhere near its price and size. The BP-8020ST features a D'Appolito front array consisting of two 3-1/2" midrange drivers surrounding a 1" annealed pure aluminum dome tweeter housed in an acoustically isolated sealed enclosure. The tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. The rear array uses a single identical driver as used in the front array. Like the front array the rear array is housed in a separate sealed MDF enclosure to isolate the midrange drivers from the woofers' influence.
