Definitive Technology BP-8040ST

• Manufacturer: Definitive Technology
• Part number: IDCA
• Description: The BP-8040ST is a third generation BP SuperTower and makes use of the most advanced technologies, including a approach to bipolar speaker design called Forward Focused Bipolar Array, Digital Signal Processing amplifier and the patented BDSS driver technology. The BP-8040ST SuperTower is the crowning achievement 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. If you love great sound you must experience Definitive's BP-8040ST Bipolar SuperTower. Its combination of Forward Focused Bipolar Array technology (for rich life-like, room-filling, three-dimensional sound), built-in SuperCube technology powered subwoofers (for lightning-fast, earthshaking bass), and the patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) midrange drivers, all housed in a rock-solid attractive enclosure, delivers unsurpassed sonic performance. The BP-8040ST combines a built-in 8" subwoofer driven by a 300-watt class D amplifier and two pressure-coupled 8" low bass radiators for over 30% more surface area than a single 12" woofer but with better control, speed and detail than a single big woofer could ever deliver. The built-in powered subwoofers achieve dramatically better blending, integration and timbre accuracy than could ever be achieved with separate subs. The BP-8040ST features a D'Appolito front array consisting of two cast-basket 3-1/2" second generation BDSS midrange drivers surrounding a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter housed in an acoustically isolated sealed enclosure. The drivers feature Definitive's patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology that supports the speaker cone at both the inner and outer edges allowing longer, more linear excursion for greater clarity and finely textured inner detail. A Linear Response Waveguide smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wider area for crystal clear intelligibility for every listener in the room. 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.
