Note: each speaker weighs 120lbs, the condition of the drivers and internals is excellent, the socks and tops/bottoms are in near mint condition. Tops each have some minor scuffs/scratches that are hard to see unless your at the right angles. I added pics of the ones I could.
Bipolar speakers were all the rage during the peak Home Theater years of the 1990s and 2000s. The reason for the fascination with speakers that fire in two opposing directions was to allow the design to be compact in stature, but project an extra-wide and involving sound stage into the room to enhance the desired surround sound effect. Definitive Technology was a leader in this type of alignment with their launch in the late 1980s of the BP2000, a giant powered-tower speaker which amazed audio show crowds with auditorium-filling dynamic sound in a slender footprint.
The BP-2000TL is still a mainstay bipolar design for the audio aficionado. The design is actually quite simple, take two identically tuned d'Appolito arrays, face them in opposite directions, and sandwich a 15-inch long-throw subwoofer between them with a 500 watt RMS amplifier blasting the lowest frequencies about the room in dizzying fashion. The construction of the cabinet has to be SOLID for this arrangement to work. Otherwise the massive bass driver will color the mid-bass sound to an alarming rate, rendering the whole experiment pointless.
Def Tech did the design right. The BP-2000TL was their first flagship design, and it's solid build quality, exceptional component choices, and heavy-duty construction point to the fact that the designers intended for these speakers to last a LONG time and sound great while doing it.
