Where to Buy

The BP7001SC cabinet stands 48" tall and is surrounded in a glossy and professional finish that is available in either Piano-Black or Golden Cherry colors. Each 7001SC speaker unit includes a built-in 10" Supercube subwoofer that is powered by a 1500 watt class D amplifier and two additional pressure coupled 10" low bass radiators. Definitive Technology claims the 7001SC set jumps into new boundaries with the provided low frequency performance; they say it has never been seen before in speakers that cost less than $50,000. DT boasts that even one of the 7001SC pair will provide more bass at the lowest volumes possible and will still provide better control, speed and detail than the power of any single subwoofer. Each unit includes two 1" pure aluminum dome tweeters, four 6.5" high-def upper bass/mid-range drivers, and one 10" long throw subwoofer that is pressure coupled to two 10" low bass radiators. The speakers are sold however as one to a carton, meaning they can not be bought in pairs; in other words DT sells both a left channel and right channel speaker but seperately. The BP7001SC speakers include additional features such as an internal amp power of 1500 watts, an auto on/off feature with signal sensing functionality, 2 pairs of 5 way binding post inputs, one optional LFE input, stabilizer bars/feet/ and spikes, and a DT 5 year warranty for the speakers/ 3 year warranty for the amplifier.

    Anonymous: The D'Appolito configure fills the whole room with sound, so they need a good distance from the wall. You get two powered subs for a pair. Don't have to worry about getting a stand alone one. The cabinet build is great, which is the main part of a speaker. Plus it has a Linkwitz-Riley cross-over the article fails to mention. It's a great bargain. These will last your lifetime, unless your a douche that has no idea about sound. Apr 29, 13
