Definitive Technology BPVX
The BPVX speakers seem to match my pair of BP2000 speakers well throughout midrange and high frequencies, but the bass performance was less than what I expected. I certainly was not expecting the bass performance of larger loudspeakers with dedicated subwoofers. However, with the frequency response specified as 31 Hz - 31 kHz, I was disappointed when I was unable to audibly obtain anywhere near that bass response in any of my own listening environments. I'm sure that the bass response does extend down to 31 Hz; just not at a very high decibel level. I must say though, this is the only time that I have been disappointed with a Definitive Technology product. As a surround sound speaker, the BPVX is a great choice, but it just didn't seem to live up to the bass response it had on paper. I don't want that to discourage anyone from listening to them, they are a great surround sound speaker, and they have the treble and midrange qualities that I love in my BP2000's. The BPVXP models were not released at the time of my purchasing the BPVX speakers, as I ordered the BPVX even before they were released to dealers and received them about 3 or 4 weeks later. I decided not to wait and go with the powered version of the BPVX (the BPVX/P) since I already had plenty of amplification to drive full range surrounds, but the different crossovers used in the BPVX/P model will allow for greater bass performance than the BPVX.
