Bipole speaker technology that will rock your world

Tired of sub-par speakers that just fire sound at you, rather than envelope you? Then check out Definitive's BP-8040ST Bipolar SuperTower™. It uses a unique driver design with both front- and rear-firing speaker arrays to radiate sound in all directions, enveloping you in rich, lifelike sound. It 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.


High-tech drivers for exceptionally detailed sound

sound waves

Here's how it works: direct sound from the front two mids and a 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.

Powerful bass built right into the cabinet

At the base of the speaker is an 8" side-firing subwoofer coupled to two bass radiators. This trio creates a total surface area that nearly matches that of a traditional 15" woofer, but has 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 theatre system using perfectly matched bipole centres (see the CS-8040HD, CS-8060HD, and CS-8080HD) and surrounds (see the SR-8040BP and SR-8080BP).

Best Sound March-08-12
Reviewer: Joe from Lansdowne, VA  
Great speakers. The sound coming out these speakers, and without a separate subwoofer is something you will need to experience yourself. I can write a book trying to convince you, but reality is...you need to have a PAIR to believe.


 
Very satisfied February-17-12
Reviewer: Jeff B from Cincinnati, OH  
I was able to get permission from my wife for the speaker upgrade and couldn't be happier.  The BP8040ST were a nice size choice and work in my smaller room.  I previously listened to the BP8060's, but decided they were too much for my 11x15 room.  At loud volumes, they can approach the feeling and sound of a live concert.  Wife was impressed.  Having powered subwoofer in each speaker seems to make the sound more realistic and less boomy than the subwoofer I replaced.  Music you know sounds different, usually better, but I have noticed a few recordings that I have are not that great and you can tell.
