Minor sub issues make this a steal – easy fixes (common amp modules ~$200-400 total) could restore it to full glory, or use as-is with an external sub for outstanding results!What's Included (All in Good Cosmetic Condition with Original Accessories Where Available):2x Mythos STS Floor-Standing Towers: Flagship pieces with built-in powered subs for deep bass and dynamic highs. One tower's sub amp is non-functional (common issue, repairable via Def Tech or local shop – main drivers/tweeters work flawlessly). The other is fully operational. These alone deliver room-filling sound!
2x Mythos GEM Bookshelf/On-Wall Speakers: Compact and versatile for surrounds – excellent clarity and imaging.
2x Mythos GEM XL Larger Bookshelf/On-Wall Speakers: Bigger siblings to the GEMs for enhanced midrange punch.
1x Mythos Eight Center Channel Speaker: Timbre-matched for seamless dialogue and front-stage cohesion.
1x PowerField SuperCube III Compact Subwoofer: Powerful when working, but currently non-functional (likely amp fault – great for parts or simple repair).
All components have been tested: Passive speakers (mains, mids, tweeters) perform beautifully with no distortion. The system's signature slim profile saves space while providing balanced, detailed audio that rivals newer setups. Per forums and reviews, these Mythos systems excel in home theaters, and with the sub fixes, you'd have a setup worth $2,000+ used.
Ideal for pairing with your AVR – just add cables if needed. Condition Notes (Transparent Disclosure – Sold As-Is, No Returns): Subs in one STS tower and the SuperCube III aren't powering on (red LED off, no bass output – fuse good, typical amp failure per Def Tech support).
Everything else works great! Minor scratches from normal use, but overall excellent aesthetics. No major damage, smoke-free home. Why Buy This? Save big on a complete, timbre-matched system – comparable working bundles sell for $1,500+.
Repairs are straightforward (Def Tech offers legacy amp service ~$300/tower, or DIY with parts).
