Tower speakers produce powerful sound with excellent bass, making them a great choice for serious music lovers and for folks who want high-impact home theater. A huge sounding speaker with a compact footprint Treat yourself to enveloping, wraparound sound courtesy of Definitive's BP-8060ST Bipolar SuperTower™. It uses a unique driver design with both front- and rear-firing speaker arrays to surround you with rich, lifelike sound. This slender tower also adds a built-in powered subwoofer to the bottom of the cabinet for intense bass. Even in large rooms, every listener will experience a huge, three-dimensional soundstage with both music and movies. Plus, this speaker has attractive high-gloss black top and bottom caps with a cloth grille-wrapped enclosure for a sleek look. Advanced bipolar speaker technology immerses you in detailed sound Front and rear speaker arrays work together to create enveloping sound. Here's how it works: direct sound from the front two midrange drivers and tweeter arrives at your ears first, to provide clear, focused imaging. That's followed by sound from the rear mid and tweeter, which is slightly delayed, to enhance spaciousness. The combination creates a lush, seamless soundstage that's more like the way we hear sounds in real life. And thanks to Definitive's Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) drivers, your music and surround effects will sound incredibly clear, allowing you to pinpoint the soloist in a band or the direction of a jaguar's call in the jungle. Cutaway view of the BP-8060ST's drivers Powerful bass built right into the cabinet At the base of the speaker is a 10" side-firing subwoofer coupled to two passive radiators. This trio creates a total surface area greater than that of a traditional 15" woofer, but with better bass control, speed, and detail than a single huge woofer could achieve. A built-in 300-watt amplifier powers the subwoofer, delivering hard-hitting bass that eliminates the need for an external sub. And because a subwoofer is built into the cabinet, bass output is already perfectly blended with the mids and the highs. All you have to do is set the bass volume to match your room and taste, then sit back and enjoy your music and movie soundtracks. Build a complete Definitive Bipolar home theater system using perfectly matched centers (see the CS-8040HD, CS-8060HD, and CS-8080HD) and bipolar surrounds (see the SR-8040BP and SR-8080BP). Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Speaker Features Connections Dimensions Speaker Features Bipolar Design: The Definitive Technology BP-8060ST is a 3rd generation "SuperTower." This bipolar speaker contains drivers on the front and rear of the cabinet. The BP-8060ST uses a new patent-pending design called Forward Focused Bipolar Array. By radiating sound both forward and rearward, the speaker produces sound as it is in real life, with improved pinpoint localization of soloists, greater placement flexibility, and superior intelligibility. Non-Resonant Tapered Cabinet: The BP-8060ST features a highly-engineered inert and resonance-free heavy MDF (medium-density fiberboard) cabinet to prevent coloring the sound. The front of the enclosure is tapered to make it appear slimmer. Wherever a driver is attached to the cabinet, a second layer of MDF is attached to prevent the drivers from causing vibration to the rest of the enclosure. The sealed midrange enclosures serve as braces for the side walls, while MDF cross braces near the woofer further stiffen the cabinet. The entire enclosure is wrapped in a cloth "grille sock", while the high-gloss polymer composite end-cap and bottom panel add a touch of elegance. High-Definition Drivers: The BP-8060ST utilizes two cast-basket 4-1/2" high-definition polymer composite midrange drivers surrounding a 1" annealed Pure Aluminum dome tweeter in a D'Appolito front array. On the rear, there is a single identical 4-1/2" driver and the same 1" aluminum dome tweeter as used in the front array. The front and rear arrays are housed in separately sealed MDF enclosures to isolate the midranges from the influence of the subwoofer. The drivers feature Definitive Technology's patented 2nd-generation Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) that supports the speaker cone at both the inner and outer edges, allowing longer, more linear excursion over a wider area. A new patent-pending Linear Response Waveguide smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wider area. Built-in Powered Subwoofer: The BP-8060ST is equipped with a long-excursion, side-firing 10" subwoofer, driven by a 300-watt Class D amplifier with an integrated Digital Signal Processor. The subwoofer is pressure-coupled with two 10" Low Bass Radiators. The combination of the active subwoofer and two bass radiators gives you 29% more surface area than a single 15" woofer, but with better control, speed, and detail. The benefits of a built-in subwoofer include: Eliminates the need for a separate subwoofer that takes up additional floor space. More bass output from two subwoofers, compared to one. Two subwoofers reduce standing wave room resonances and dead zones for more evenly distributed bass. The subwoofers are perfectly integrated and blended with the mids and highs, eliminating the crossover and phase controls of a separate subwoofer. Subwoofer Volume: The level of the subwoofer (relative to the other drivers) can be adjusted using the rotary dial on the back panel of the speaker. Once the bass level is set, the overall volume of the speaker system can be controlled by the receiver/amplifier. Auto Power: The BP-8060ST has a special circuit that automatically turns on the amplifier when a signal is fed to the speaker. The LED on the back panel will glow when a signal is sensed and the amplifier turns on. After the signal ceases, it may take up to an hour for the amplifier to turn off. When first powering up after being unplugged, the LED will flash for about 30 seconds while the firmware is loading. Stabilizer Feet: The speaker comes with four stabilizer feet which attach to the bottom of the cabinet, two per side, with the supplied self-tapping screws. Each foot has a threaded insert to allow you to screw in the supplied carpet spikes or smooth floor glides, depending upon the type of floor they're being placed upon. Four additional threaded inserts are provided on the bottom panel (along with 4 additional carpet spikes and floor glides) in case you decide not to use the stabilizer feet. The spikes and glides add approximately 1" to the overall height of the speaker. Placement: The BP-8060ST Bipolar speakers have a lot of flexibility when it comes to placement and positioning. It is recommended that the speakers be placed at least 4" from a back wall, and at least 6" from a side wall. When used as left and right main speakers, you should set up the speakers and the listening position in an equilateral triangle, with the speaker cabinets turned slightly inward. Connections Binding Posts: The BP-8060ST is equipped with a pair of gold-plated, 5-way binding posts on the back of the cabinet to attach your receiver's speaker wire. The terminals will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade lugs, single and dual banana plugs. Recommended amplifier power: 20 to 300 watts RMS. LFE Input: For the powered subwoofer, the BP-8060ST has a single RCA LFE (low-frequency effects) input. Since you'll be using two speakers, you will need a Y-adapter to split the LFE output from your receiver to each subwoofer. Wiring Options/Speaker Setup: You can connect the BP-8060ST in one of two ways, with or without the LFE connection. If you use only speaker wire, you should set the speaker setup on the receiver to "Large" and Sub to "No." If you connect the speaker with speaker wire and the LFE, the speaker setup should be "Large" and "Yes." Note: It is recommended that you do not use the receiver's auto setup function, as it is often ineffective in setting up and adjusting speakers with built-in subwoofers. AC Power: The speaker has an AC power input (IEC 2-prong type) on the back panel for plugging in the powered subwoofer. A 7' AC power cord is included. Dimensions Width: 6" enclosure only 11.125" with stabilizer feet Height: 44.25" enclosure only 45.25" with carpet spikes or floor glides Depth: 14.0625" including binding posts Weight: 54 pounds Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Bought me 2 of these babes and I am completely satisfied with the sound output and quality. Pros: Crispy clear sound Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best thing since my first car! Written By Steve, Midlothian, Virginia on Thursday, March 13, 2014 I researched speakers for over a month before deciding on these. I made an excellent choice. These speakers are amazing. I used my Yamaha RX A2010 to drive them. Incredible range on them from the low bass through the mids, and into the highs...these speakers kick butt! Love them, love them, love them! Assembly was easy. Just a couple screws to drive in. The speakers were very well packaged in the boxes to afford maximum protection. I'm hoping to purchase another pair for the other end of the house, along with another amp to run through the Yamaha and drive these bad boys! Pros: Very nice, sleek design. Beautiful finish. Fantastic sound Cons: Took me 52 years to find them!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 BP-8060ST Written By Thomas, Texas on Thursday, February 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got these around Christmas when they were giving the center and surrounds for free with the purchase of the floor standing speakers. In stereo or as a home theater system they sound great. The only things I could complain about would be the screws for the feet, broke two of them off screwing them in. Other than that the knobs for the subwoofers turn really easy and would better if they were a little stiffer, but like I said the sound is great and they don't take any more room than speakers on stands. Pros: Great sound, no need for a separate subwoofer, small footprint, build quality. Cons: Installing the feet to the speakers can be a pain since the screws don't want to go in all the way (wood screws work). 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Great Speakers Written By Gary, Rogers, AR on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been a fan of Definitive speakers now for several years, and I've been wanting a set of towers ever since I first heard their smaller speakers. I decided to jump on the deal for 2 towers with a center and 2 surrounds, and I have to say I haven't found anything that doesn't sound amazing on them. Even with being so happy with them i have been extremely disappointed with an issue with one of my towers. I've owned 12 different Definitive speakers now, and I've always been happy with their build quality never finding any issues. That was until i started playing some music with heavy bass, and then I started hearing a rattle from one. After contacting support via email they asked me to remove the sleeve, and make sure the sub screws are secure. I validated they were (one is still slightly loose), and found that i couldn't reach some without removing the back panel. I was advised it was ok for me to remove the panel if needed. Once removing the panel I immediately found the issue was two wires misrouted on the wrong side of a padded wire, and this put them laying on the lower radiator. It was an easy fix of moving them to the right side, but not something i expected from a high end speaker. I contacted support back with the findings, and to date have not even received an apology for the mistake.. I was able to easily hear this rattle from 12 ft away with loud music I'm shocked it made it through QC. I'd love to give these a 5, but based on this issue i'm going with a 2. Pros: These speakers won't disappoint with sound. I have a large living room, and they easily fill it with incredibly clear sounds. They have crisp highs, and enough bass you can feel the action in the movies you're watching. Cons: Honestly wished i could say there aren't any, but I have to say quality control and support. I'm an engineer, and fixing the speaker wasn't a big issue. I'm more frustrated by the fact i had to do that on a speaker at this price, and the fact their customer support didn't even acknowledge this was their fault. 7 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best Purchase Written By CarolW, Keller, TX on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I saw these speakers in a Crutchfield ad at Christmas and decided they would make a perfect present for my house. I was right! They sound remarkable!! I couldn't be happier. The free center channel and surround speakers were just another added bonus. The dual subwoofers (one in each speaker) really add to the bass quality and eliminate having that ugly box on the floor. I have definitely become a Definitive Technology fan. The feet add the perfect amount of stability and the speakers are just beautiful looking. These get an AAA+ in my book. Pros: Contained subwoofer, crisp highs and bass, great looking. Cons: None. Was this review helpful?

I've been a fan of DefTech speakers for a while now. When I set-up our new media room, these were on top of my list for front speakers. The package deal that Crutchfield has (buy two of these and get matching surround and center speakers) made the financials very easy to justify - this is just an incredible value. We've been very happy with the performance. Rich, warm sound. Accurate and a full soundstage. Highly recommended. Pros: Beautiful sound, sleek speakers. No need for separate subs.

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 not bad. Written By Anonymous, louisville KY. on Monday, December 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I may have been expecting more. But these little dudes kick butt. I had to replace my altec 510`s bi amped to save space. Also went to a receiver driving almost the same power as my old carver stuff for space and less cables. speaker`s seem to be missing some bottom end mid`s. I should have save`d and purchased the 8080`s. I was hopping to get rid of my sub too but that ain`t happening. Don`t get the problem with putting the feet on, learn to use a cordless drill people. Pros: Very good sound for the size. Cons: Missing some upper base or low mid`s or both. Keep your subwoofer. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

After purchasing a set of Definitive Technology speakers 15 years ago and being totally satisfied, I contacted DF directly and they gave me the current model number that would be close to that model, although these could handle greater output. I ordered another receiver with greater output, so as to maximize these speakers. Got everything hooked up and . . . WHOA!!! These blow away my earlier set and will be the ones I order for my office next. Crutchfield had these speakers delivered 2 days after ordering - MD to GA in 2 days . . . perfect! Pros: Fabulous speakers output and Crutchfield's service is second to none!!! Cons: Expensive but worth it! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Pros and cons Written By James, USA on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My pair of BP-8060ST sounds good, especially with the matching center and surrounds and a good receiver. I have an issue with the bass, but I still enjoy these speakers when I watch movies, listen to music, and play games. Pros: The mid-range and higher frequencies have a smooth and clear sound. They make my ears melt like butter. Cons: I set these to Large in the receiver and let the speakers take care of the crossover. The frequencies between 65hz and 95hz dip in volume significantly. Also, the lowest frequency that can be heard with any significant amount of impact is around 30hz. Frequencies lower than this are still there but barely audible. For the money, I hoped for something a little better. I could add a dedicated subwoofer, but it would defeat the purpose of getting these full-range speakers, so I don't know... 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 WOW Written By Anonymous, Hillsdale, MI on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers have punch, low-end power and crisp middle and highs. They are excellent! I retired my Klipsch Chorus II's for these, and I have no regrets at all! They are a lot smaller than I expected, but that's a good thing, as I wanted to shrink the space occupied by speakers. Pros: Crisp! Cons: I find the lights on the back confusing; sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes not at all. Bought mine from scratch and dent section.so perhaps there is a glitch, but the performance seems fine. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great for the price Written By Mel, Boise, ID on Monday, October 28, 2013 I got these last year with the same "buy 2 get a bunch free" deal. Once they are broken in they sound amazing. The rear firing tweeters really gave me auto setup some problems but once I manually set them up they sound great.

Written By Audioernie, Salinas CA on Monday, May 27, 2013 Wow holy cow these speakers have to be the one of the best out there no lie, I owned a 5.1 B&W worth around $4000, went to the buddy's house hear he's new system that he's been braving about for weeks, and he put a quick demo for me (the avengers) and you can simply hear every single detail on the film, every explosion from the smallest one to hulks footsteps there was clean accurate and extremely deep, that it makes you think there was an actual earthquake, so with a 30min demo, I was convinced that I will do everything possible to sell my system and purchased the exact same system my buddy bought did with the free center and surrounds, just before the sale ended, so now Im always in my man cave hearing the women always banging the door and shouting to turn it down,haha but I can't here her Pros: You get 2 10inch subwoofers at 300 watt Cons: What cons? 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I also have Def. Tech center and 8040 rears. The improvement was great. Movie sounds are theater quality. The music was greatly improved. I didn't need to reconnect my old sub because these new subs sounded and blended in just fine. I recommend them. Pros: Great sounding. Look nice. Cons: Only slightly annoying. I received two left towers, so I had to thread a cable across the sub volume knob on the the one I placed on the right. Makes no difference in the sound that they were both right towers because they are bipolar.. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Midrange punch missing Written By A Drum Guy, Prefer not to say, USA on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I went back & forth whether or not to buy these. I was lured by the free center speaker/free surround speaker deal they had going a few months back. After much deliberating, I bought these a couple of months ago along with the 8040 center & the 8040 surrounds. After a bit of a snafu with Crutchfield giving UPS the wrong phone number, I got the speakers home. My wife helped unbox them (which was a pain) Def Tech needs to put the white fabric sleeve on with the opening on the bottom, not the top. That way you could leave them mostly covered while attaching the feet. The feet went on easy for me with a ratcheting screwdriver with the speakers carefully placed on their sides with pillows for padding so nothing touched any of the speakers. Anyway, the speakers combined with the center & surrounds are really good for movies, but for listening to music on just the two 8060 towers, they leave a bit to be desired. The highs are really clear & there is tons of bass, but the bass drowns out the midrange and there is no punch. Snare drums are buried in the mix, even Stewart Copeland's snare on Zenyatta Mondatta, which has a fantastic, in-your-face snare sound, is somewhat muted with these towers. I've messed with the EQ settings a bit and still haven't been totally satisfied. I do agree with another reviewer that the subs blend seamlessly. Way better than my old JBL's combined with an Hsu Research sub. The trouble is, Def Tech spent too much time on bass & not enough on the full sound. Pros: Good for movies, lots of bass, look good Cons: Not so great for music, lots of bass (had to turn it down), needs more mid-range punch 15 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Dave, Discovery Bay, CA on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After convincing my wife that we needed to upgrade from our 18 year old Klipsch speakers, I purchased these 8060 towers, the 8060 center and the 8040 surrounds. There wasn't much in the setup since the subs are built in. After talking to Definitive Tech to get the pros and cons of using the low pass sub cable, I decided to not use it. There were really no advantage to using it. The towers and center subs are integrated and require no cross over setting when using only the speaker wires. How simple is that? The built in subs sound great! The sound is seamless, more realistic and natural than separate subs. The center speaker has a punch to it that my old one never had. I was amazed to find out how much bass is directed to the center channel that just wasn't picked up by my old Klipsch center speaker. The 8040 surrounds are amazing as well. I wasn't too sure how the black speakers were going to look on the walls since our old speakers were small, white infinity minuettes. Actually it was my wife that was really concerned, but the 8040's look great, and the best part is, she agrees! They sound so much better than my old surrounds and they really have a classy, sexy look. My old speakers sounded really good, but these sound amazing!My only complaint was that the delivery. The speakers shipped separately and had three different delivery dates. That meant I, or someone had to be home each of those days to receive them. I got over that pretty quick once they arrived. Pros: Sound, Design, Quality, Sub integration, and my wife loves them too! Cons: None!!! (anyone that has a problem attaching the feet on these towers probably shouldn't own a screwdriver) 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

They all sound amazing, but this review is dedicated to the truly awesome BP 8060's! The sound quality is nothing short of incredible. The highs are tight and direct without even a hint of shrillness regardless of volume levels. The mids are warm and full, smoothly conveying the whole range of human voices, from Norah Jones to Jay-Z to Blake Shelton, they all sounded as if they were in my living room! But, not only are these speakers great with music, they handled movie sound tracks with abounding ease! The opening scene of The Dark Knight where Bane and his henchmen crash the jet rocked my whole house. The bass actually shifted the pictures on the back wall behind the BP-8060's! The rustling of the clothing in the wind and the crunch of metal against metal was extremely vivid and real! Yet, the 8060's never crackled or popped or showed any signs of strain at all. One of the niceness features of the 8060's aside from their awesome power handling is their ability to sound beautiful even at low volume levels. They can handle copious amounts of power, but they don't need it to some great. Late night listening to jazz at low levels showcased the remarkable range of these incredible speakers....again...Best Christmas Present Ever!! Pros: Sound quality, Power handling and build quality! Cons: The 1st pair of 8060's that arrived were defective and had a constant hiss/crackle in the mids. However, I called Crutchfield, reported the problem and a new set were on my doorstep in less than a week! The new set lived up to my every expectation! Crutchfield Rocks!! 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Simply Awesome Written By Big Daddy, Toledo OH on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only have had these for a few days, but I can tell, it is exactly what I wanted ! The sound is GREAT!. Replacing 4 def tech pro monitors 1000 s, 1 pro center 1000, and a SUPER CUBE 3. The AQ is Great. Did I say that before. Clean, clear and crisp, almost like the 3 c's for a diamond, with powerful bass. I'm not using the subs as LFE though have an old school velodyne 12" sub for that. They blend well together. I was able to get the def tech package deal. A real no brainer. Now for my soap box. I have seen reviews, stating how difficult these spkrs are to assemble. REALLY. I m 50+ years old and no heeee man. Packaging is extremely good. Took almost as long to get these speakers out of the TWO boxes, as to assemble the feet and get them ready to hook up. Another very nice side note, the wife had no problems wih the size of the towers. It's amazing how they are able to get the sound they can. Very happy with this purchase. Would strongly reccomend these to anyone. Will eventually replace my last pair of pro monitor 1000's, with the 8080's. The crutchfield team are excellent, very fast and precise shipping. Keep up the great work. Pros: Very full sounding speakers. The gloss black end caps sure add a nice touch. Very flexible hook up options. Cons: NONE!!!!! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Love them! Written By Chris, Austin, TX on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are amazing! I was really impressed with the characteristics of the bipolar speakers in their ability to fill the whole room with even sound at any volume. I only have these front speakers and the center channel, with no separate rear surround speakers, but I still get plenty of surround sound. The size and appearance of these speakers would make them look good and fit well in just about any room. I experimented with just about every way to hook these up, including the separate subwoofer hookup since my receiver has two sub outs. After many hours of listening to music and movies, I decided that I got the best sound by just using the regular speaker connection and continuing to use a separate sub, not using the speakers' sub inputs. They still sound great without a separate sub. Despite some of the other reviews, I didn't have any trouble attaching the feet. I used a minimally-powerfully battery-powered screw driver and adjusted the torque accordingly. Using an impact driver would be overkill. Pros: sound great, plenty of surround sound with just two speakers, look great, easily perfect-able bass from the powered sub, flexible in the connection options Cons: I now spend way too much time listening to and relishing my amazing sound system 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing Home Theater Written By Anonymous, Lexington, KY on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought entire Definitve package and man is my home theater sounding amazing. The low tones you get from the internal sub really adds the sound quality. Pros: Great sound andeasy set up Cons: Speaker is so thin it is hard to get to balance on carpet. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Floors Written By Chad S, Raleigh, NC on Saturday, January 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These Def Tech's sound astonishing. I have never head anything as clear and smooth as these. The front array shoots out the clear, pin-point-able sound you would expect, then the rear array sends out an almost surround sound stage to the whole system. The crossover between the mids and subs is simply amazing, does a great job blending the frequencies. Pros: Sound Looks Size Cons: Feet are a bit annoying to mount. An impact driver and the correct size bit do help though. 11 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 BP8060 Experience Written By Eric G, Killeen, TX on Monday, December 12, 2011 The bi-polar technology compared to the Bose refecting speakers (901s) is like night and day. I am impressed with the sound, they have a full range of frequency for most types of music. I compared these to the CM9 (B&W) and for the money the Def Tech 8060 came out on top over sound range. Though the CM9 are great with Jazz & Big band music, the 8060s was better with a more range of music and movies alike. Definately a good buy. Pros: I have owned a lot of speakers in my day, and by far these speakers have been the best I've ever purchased. I love the overall sound and performance. The sound will amaze you. Cons: Well, why do I have to put the feet on the speaker. I mean that was a monumental task. Literaly these speakers are heavy, delicate because if you handle them wrong you could damage the woofers. There's no where to really handle these speakers, because of the fabric mesh surrounding the woofers is all there is to grab on. 25 out of 33 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 BP8060 Written By CSound, Detriot, MI on Saturday, August 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Summary: Sound excellent. Process and physical installation atrocious. The Good: The speakers sound excellent. They definitely provide enough bass. I upsized the speakers for the larger subs but this was not needed as I ended up turning the bass way down. Unfortunately the speakers appear to be much better than the new reciever that I just bought. Shipping pain: The speakers were well packaged and not damaged during shipping. However, I had to sign for the shipment. The shipping company would not let them sit unattended. This is understandable as the speakers were expensive but also a pain as the non-Fedex shipping company had the same working hours as I did. Anger: To fit in the boxes the speaker's feet were not attached to the speakers. The feet are attached with 2 phillips head wood screws per foot; 4 feet per speaker. The screws were atrociously hard to fasten. I did not have a power screw driver, but doubt one would had the necessary torque. Being a strong fella, I struggled and sweated... for hours and still the screws are not tight. After researching and saving... opening that box and hearing the sound was a supposed to be an exciting process - it was far from it. I can not recommend these speakers unless they are put together by a professional. [A set of speakers of this quality should have an engineered foot base.] 32 out of 121 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked is it necessary to use in pair or will it be alright to use only 1pc of this tower speaker? [ ronnie Oct 20, 2014 ] 6 answers I guess it would all depend on how you want to use it. If you are playing a stereo album or watching a movie then two towers is a must. If you like to listen to mono radio or albums then a single tower might be fine. [ CHARLES Oct 20, 2014 ] I am curious why someone would ever want only one of any speaker. Speakers most of the time are sonically matched, at least for main speakers, I would want them to be the same. I am OCD enough where I want all speakers in my system to be sonically matched. But that is just me. To answer your question, of course it will work, it's just an analog signal being converted to sound, but it is far from an ideal situation. [ IAN Oct 20, 2014 ] Ronnie it all depends on what your goal is. Anything less than stereo, with one tower youre fine. [ CORNELL Oct 20, 2014 ] These speakers are truly amazing!! One alone can likely blow you away, but for a true stereo sound, two would absolutely be needed. [ RON Oct 20, 2014 ] You may use it in mono with full signal played. However, if you want stereo sound you would need two, one for left and one for right channel. As an added bonus it has a built in powered sub whic can receive and filter to play the .1 channel in 2.1, 5.1, etc. [ THOMAS Oct 20, 2014 ] You can use only one at a time if need be, (which I have done) but they sound much better as a set, I suppose it would matter what you have in mind as far as your intended use, but using them as a pair gives you much fuller sound, this has been my experience. I have had mine for a year now, hooked up to a Yamaha receiver, hope this helps.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney just took questions at the daily briefing about the ongoing and escalating situation of riots in the Middle East and other parts of the world. As Guy reported earlier, a story by the UK Independent said the White House had intelligence that U.S. Embassies would be attacked on 9/11 and did nothing. Carney refuted the report today saying it is "false."
"We were not aware of any intelligence that an attack was imminent. That report is false," he said.

Outdoor Dining: A Pink and Yellow Birthday Party
Our My Great Outdoors event may have ended at the close of June, but outdoor entertaining is still in full swing. Last weekend I used our little back deck to its fullest and threw an outdoor fête for my sister. We had a perfect summer evening for it; I really couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather! Here's a peek at the pink and yellow party, with a few ideas for drinks and food for your own outdoor summer parties.
Here's a peek at this party, which happened to include some guests who were semi-vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, gluten-free, and allergic to chicken and dairy!
• 1 It seems to me that a really elegant, delicious party is a gift that we should all give and receive. I wanted to make this beautiful and special — a really special birthday!
• 2 The peony invites, from a pattern by e.m. papers.
• 3 Arranging flowers. Whole Foods had a great deal on late-season peonies. (Tip: Always negotiate flower prices, even at chain stores like WF. If the flowers are looking close to finishing, the florist may give you a generous deal, as she did for me.)
• 4 Flowers all lined up in Mason jars from my basement.
• 5 The famous (infamous, by now?) Martha Stewart tissue pom-poms. I used a kit, but now that I've made them once I'll do them from scratch in the future. They are so easy.
• 6 Birthday cake! I used the Ina Garten lemon cake recipe yet again, and attempted the Martha Stewart ruffle cake look.
• 7 Raspberry meringues and lemon bars. (From Mom's kitchen! Thanks Mom!)
• 8 Placecards. I wanted the placecards to stay lemon juice-free, so I used toothpicks to hold them in the lemons.
• 9 The table, with poms overhead.
• 10 Pink and yellow!
• 11 The drinks included a quick mix of Prosecco and peach juice with mint (thanks Trader Joe's!) and TJ's strawberry lemonade with fizzy water, plus bottles of cold water.
• 12 I also added a few melon slices to the Prosecco cooler.
• 13 The menu: Zucchini and squash fritters (with GF tapioca flour), baby roast potatoes with oregano and lemon, smashed chickpea salad with artichokes and tomatoes, dill chicken salad in phyllo cups, and a mix of melon.
• 14 I also made small ramekins of smoked salmon blended with dill and Tofutti to serve to my chicken-free, lactose-free guests.
• 15 Wine glasses for fizzy drinks; Duralex tumblers for water.
• 16 I put these really tall 14" candle tapers on the cake. Dramatic!
• 17 Red jam in between the layers.
• 18 Lemon verbena tisane to close the meal.
• 19 Enjoying the outdoors, late in the party.
• 20 Bug bite salve from KIOSK. A very important element if you want to have an outside party at night!

Wow, that looks like a glorious party! Lucky sister!
That cake is simply gorgeous--you really know how to make cakes!
I love peonies. Adorable- well done!
What a beautiful party! I bet your sister felt very special!
Love the place cards with lemon halves. Great idea.
I made some Martha flowers last year for my daughter's 1st bday, different shaped than pom poms, from scratch and it was a major pain. I gave up after three and just hung them together in a bunch by the patio.
Wow! How lovely! (I am in love with peonies)
Great dinner plates... which are they?
I thought they were just the MOTTO plates from IKEA, but they may be these LUGN plates - I don't remember now! They are the inexpensive plates I have around in a large quantity for big parties.
Wow, gorgeous all around. Everything: food, decor, setting. And I love the idea of throwing the party around a color theme.
Looks like many of us like Peonies! What a beautiful event you planned. Great tip on the flower negotiating from WF. Thanks!
How did you make those hanging poms? Is there an online link to a website?

When she made an off-hand remark her noisy neighbor, I decided to go down the rabbit hole and explore the story a little further. Little did I know it would all lead to a long night of loud, mind-blowing sex.

Our #TBT Picture of the Day is of a very, very young Patrick Dwyer, admiring his sisters Molly, Bridget (in uniform), and Katie. Baby Patrick grew up to become Communications Manager and Graphic Designer right here at GSGNY - and no wonder: "Girl Scouting was definitely in my blood. My grandmother in Kentucky was a troop leader, my mom was the local cookie lady in Illinois, all three of my sisters were Girl Scouts, and all four of my nieces are Girl Scouts." This photo originally appeared in a Girl Scout publication in the '70s. Thanks for keeping it, and thanks for sending it in, Patrick! If you have a photo you'd like to share with us for #ThrowbackThursday, please email it to email@example.com, with a short description of the who, what, when, and where. Thank you!

Our 22nd Annual Women of Distinction breakfast at 42nd Street Cipriani yesterday was a smashing success! Inspiring speeched by our five honorees energized and moved the crowd; our Future Woman of Distinction, April Mintz, impressed with a story of how Girl Scouting helped her overcome personal setbacks and encouraged her to excel.

What a fun way to get the Science of Style badge! On Oct 21, troops 3064 and 3054 visited Lush - a perfect example of how girls have expanded their definition of what a career in fashion can be. Todays girls are more interested in the science behind fabrics, cosmetics, and skincare products and in the running and promoting of such businesses than in becoming models or fashion designers...
Girl Scouts, 4 days ago
These photos, sent in by Senior Girl Scout Grace from troop 3054, show just what an amazing networking opportunity the Girl Scout Convention in Salt Lake City was. Grace met Connie Lindsay; Dr. Tererai Trent, one of the keynote speakers for GSLI; Elizabeth Smart; and Candace Kislack; and she got to hang out with many other Girl Scouts – girls who are on their way to be tomorrow's leaders.

If anything your post was what I needed to do something about this. We have a lot of this type of content coming up so it warranted the expansion. Austin was cool with it so it got done.
I hope to see lots of you guys posting your rehandles & sayas and whatever else you get into.
Dave are we allowed to post our work areas/shops?
I was thinking about doing a "Let's see your shop!" thread. I just built some work benches and will soon be building a grinder so I got excited

Below is a brief description of several recent projects to give you a sense of the kinds of research questions I address. The biggest emphasis currently is on Bayesian phylogenetic inference. This field is perhaps not in its infancy anymore, but it certainly has not yet achieved adulthood, and there are many important problems still needing work, especially in areas such as model comparison, mixing, and convergence diagnostics. A list of published and in-press papers follows the project descriptions.
Bayesian Star Tree Paradox
We argue that the central problem here is the non-identifiability of the tree topology, and propose a solution using reversible-jump MCMC. Our rjMCMC sampler visits not only fully-resolved tree topologies, but can visit topologies containing hard polytomies as well. This effectively places a point mass prior probability on polytomies, providing an alternative in situations in which a fully-resolved topology is not a reasonable option. The analysis can be made as conservative as desired by modifying the prior distribution assumed for topologies, but in our (albeit limited) experience it does not appear easy to destroy support for real edges by using a prior that strongly supports polytomous topologies.
Reference: Lewis, P. O., Holder, M. T., and Holsinger, K. E. 2005. Polytomies and Bayesian phylogenetic inference. Systematic Biology 54(2): 241-253. link
Phylodiversity in Desert Green Algae (the other land plants)
A major thrust in the laboratory of Louise Lewis is diversity and systematics of green algae (Phylum Chlorophyta) living in the soils of North American deserts. These unicellular green algae are capable of tolerating the harsh conditions posed by desert soil environments, and represent an important (yet not well understood) component of desert microbiotic crust communities. The 18S rDNA sequences of a number of green algal isolates have been determined, and these data suggest that several lineages of green algae have diversified within deserts. One might be tempted to think that the green algal cells isolated from desert soils are simply the result of spores dispersed into deserts from distant aquatic sources. This study shows that the 18S sequences of these desert isolates are more divergent from their nearest aquatic relatives than would be predicted if they were merely incidental visitors. We characterize the molecular phylodiversity of desert green algae and demonstrate with a Bayesian analysis of 150 green algal 18S sequences that all freshwater classes of green algae have yielded desert lineages. The numerous transitions from desert to aquatic existence apparent from the phylogeny argue that it is no longer accurate to portray land plants as resulting from a single origin. The highly celebrated origin leading to the embryophytes is but one of many transitions to terrestriality.
