Definitive Technology Mythos LCR65 Review: Ultra-Slim On-Wall Brilliance

Embark on a sonic voyage with our Definitive Technology Mythos LCR65 Review, where ultra-slim design meets audiophile-grade performance. The Mythos LCR65 redefines on-wall LCR speakers for 65" class TVs, delivering pristine sound, versatile aesthetics and weather-resistant resilience in a flush, sub-2" cabinet.
Design & Installation
The Mythos LCR65’s brushed black anodised aluminium chassis is less than 2" deep, ensuring a discreet profile that elegantly frames your display. Symmetrically adjustable extensions offer up to 3.42" of width adjustment, accommodating any 65"+ TV. Whether hung horizontally under your screen or vertically for multi-purpose use, its IP66-rated enclosure guarantees reliable performance in both indoor living rooms and covered alfresco spaces.
Premium Acoustic Engineering
At the heart of the LCR65 is a meticulously tuned nine-driver array comprising four 3.5" XTDD (eXtra-Thin Die-cast Disc) aluminium dome drivers and a rigid, Dymension™ Series 1" aluminium oxide dome tweeter. This two-way configuration yields a balanced 100 Hz–25 kHz (–10 dB) frequency response, with a smooth –3 dB point at 120 Hz, ideal for dialogue clarity and musical detail.
Enveloping Soundstage & Dynamics
Definitive Technology’s signature timbre matching ensures uniform voicing across your home theatre system. The ultra-stiff XTDD drivers eliminate breakup, while the precision crossover network optimises phase and frequency alignment. The result is room-filling sound with pinpoint imaging, articulate midrange and shimmering highs that bring every soundtrack to life.
Complement with Subwoofer for Full Impact
Pair the Mythos LCR65 with a Descend Series subwoofer to extend the low-end effortlessly. The nominal 4 Ω impedance and 88 dB sensitivity (2.83 V/1m) make it an easy load for 25–150 W amplifiers, offering seamless integration and dynamic headroom.
