Definitive Technology BP 30

Definitive Technology's Bipolar Towers are revolutionary audiophile engineered, designer styled loudspeakers intended for musical reproduction and home theater systems of the highest quality. These full-range bipolar (front and rear) radiating systems combine the lush spacious soundstaging, lifelike depth-of-field, razor-sharp resolution and pinpoint imaging of the finest dipolar panel loudspeakers with the extended bass response, high-efficiency, wide dynamic range and easy-to-position convenience of the best conventional box systems. Definitive's BP 30 utilizes all the technology incorporated in the BP 10B and combines it with virtual point source coincidentally radiating, symmetrically concentric driver arrays. Each BP 30 incorporates four 17 cm bass/midrange drivers which are arrayed on the front and rear baffles in two concentric pairs, each surrounding a pure aluminum dome tweeter. Each pair of bass/midrange drivers creates a virtual point source radiating from a position midway between them, which is coincident with the tweeter location. This symmetrically concentric (or D'Appolito) point source mounting results in further improvements in the areas of driver blending, depth retrieval, lateral imaging and dispersion. Additionally, the use of four bass/midrange drivers extends the bass response below 20 Hz (superior to most subwoofers) with power handling capability exceeding 500 watts. The BP 30 incorporates provisions for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
