Definitive Technology BP9080X

$1,749 (each)

The BP9080x tower speaker is the answer for immersive, room-filling sound to experience pure home theater. A Forward-Focused Bipolar Array expands the room’s soundstage, while aluminum dome tweeters, integrated powered subwoofers and incorporated Dolby Atmos/DTS:X height modules produce multi-dimensional sound, allowing listeners to feel every note as artists intend.

Definitive Technology’s BP9080X is a stunning home theater tower speaker that stands at nearly 4.5-feet tall, featuring premium materials, meticulous modern design and ultra-precise reproduction that makes the surrounding room seemingly disappear. A fourth-generation, two-channel floor-standing speaker, the BP9080X pays homage to Definitive Technology’s lengthy lineage of award-winning bipolar speakers while boasting a completely reimagined design with streamlined usability for audiophiles and those willing to invest in a superb home theater experience. Supporting the latest Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ compatibility, the BP9080X is the first speaker to truly integrate advanced audio reproduction technologies in a single tower speaker, eliminating the need for separate home theater components and fulfilling the audiophile niche. Each edge, finish and detail of the BP9080X serves a thoughtfully functional purpose, leaving no stone unturned.

The difference between the BP9080X and its competitors is most other audio manufacturers design tower speakers in the same fashion, hosting front-firing drivers, which sound wonderful when sitting directly in front of the speakers, but do not accurately represent life-like audio. The BP9080X tower speakers, however, boast drivers firing from five sides, producing sound that’s bigger, more spacious and provides a more verbose sonic fingerprint than the competition.

Behind the BP9080X’s sleek interface and acoustically transparent 360 degree grille is a totally inert, resonance-free one-piece cabinet construction, featuring front and rear-facing drivers and tweeters, a side firing 12-inch powered subwoofer, and dual bass radiators all working in harmony to produce powerful sound that projects from each tower. Each edge, finish and detail of the BP9080X serves a thoughtfully functional purpose, leaving no stone unturned and delivering powerful performance.

Most audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts know that setup can take up time and are willing to make the commitment—but why should they have to? The BP9080X provides a simplified setup experience out-of-the-box with conveniently designed packaging and minimal wiring configuration. Users simply open the box from the bottom up, accessing the accompanying accessories kit first to attach the aluminum base and preferred feet. Once installed, the speaker’s box can then be gently tipped over and slipped off while placed in its preferred setup in the home theater for room-filling sound.

The BP9080X delivers some of the most advanced home audio reproduction technologies on the market while employing a future-proof design to make the drivers a welcome addition to any home entertainment system for years to come. By leveraging an array of audio technologies, like a patented forward-focused bipolar array, integrated subwoofers, intelligent bass control for mid-range balance, aluminum dome tweeters for crystal clear highs, balanced double surround system for improved driver excursion, and Dolby Atmos/DTS:X integration for three-dimensional sound, without the requirement to add upward firing accessory to enjoy the latest in immersive audio.  Listeners have all the design expertise from Definitive Technology available and at their disposal for the absolute best listening experience. These advanced audio technologies tied with a minimalist design, including machined components, premium materials and sharp lines, make the BP9080X tower speaker a timeless speaker built to last years in the home theater.
