Incidentally, the speakers have a line-level LFE input that you can connect directly to your receiver or surround processor to gain additional adjustment range and flexibility (and maybe even use an external EQ if you wish, I guess), but I didn’t use this feature. I used Wireworld Eclipse 7 interconnect and speaker cables.

I also did stereo listening sessions comparing the BP9060s with my Revel Performa3 F206 speakers, using a Classé CP-800 preamp/DAC, a Classé CA-2300 stereo amp, a Music Hall Ikura turntable, and an NAD PP-3 phono preamp, plus an Audio by Van Alstine AVA ABX switcher for level-matched comparisons. I used the BP9060s, the A90s, and the CS9060 primarily with a Sony STR-ZA5000ES AV receiver, using Sunfire CRM-BIP bipolar speakers for the surround channels. Definitive Technology offers matching center and surround speakers I tried the $699 CS9060 center channel, which has its own built-in eight-inch subwoofer. Prices range from $649 each for the BP9020 to $1,749 each for the BP9080x. The BP9060 is the second-most-expensive tower speaker in the BP9000 line. Take the aluminum top plate off, put the A90 in place, then use the top pair of speaker terminals on the BP9060 to connect the modules to the receiver or amplifier. The A90 is designed so that it simply plops into place and looks like a part of the BP9060 rather than an add-on module.

The company’s $499/pair A90 module turns the BP9060 into an Atmos-enabled speaker, with upward-firing midrange and tweeter drivers matching the ones in the BP9060. Rather than simply adjusting the volume of the subwoofer section, the IBC knob is said to affect only frequencies below 100 Hz, and thus not interfere with the upper bass and midrange frequencies. One new twist is the Intelligent Bass Control knob on the back. Both sides sport a single 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter.Īs has been common in large Definitive towers dating back to the mid-1990s, the BP9060 features a powered bass section, with an active 10-inch woofer powered by a 300-watt Class D amp. The rear array in the BP9060 also has just one 4.5-inch midrange driver, compared with two in the front array. The company says the rear array is reduced in level by -6dB relative to the front array.

As with the previous BP8000 Series, the output of the rear driver array is toned down in level to achieve a more satisfying compromise between the spacious bipolar sound and the more focused sound of a conventional speaker. With the $1,099-each BP9060 and the rest of the new BP9000 line, introduced last May, Definitive Technology gets back to its roots.
It’s similar to the way electrostatic and magnetoplanar panel speakers work, except both sides of a bipolar speaker operate in-phase, and all the bipolar speakers I’ve seen use conventional drivers that offer better dynamics (with, some would argue, less delicacy) than panel speakers. This creates a more spacious, but less focused, sound. Just as Swift’s mainstream success has made most people forget her country roots, Definitive’s mainstream success has made most audiophiles forget that the company got its start with a relatively unknown and mildly controversial technology: the bipolar speaker.Ī bipolar speaker has drivers on the front and rear of the enclosure, so it directs sound forward and backward. Unpacking the new BP9060, I realized that Definitive Technology is the Taylor Swift of the speaker biz.
