Definitive Technology's BP-8060ST ($999 each) is a big, but not too big tower speaker. A little more than 44 inches tall and just slightly over 5 inches wide, it doesn't dominate a room, until you listen. The BP-8060ST's gravitas and poise, even when cranked up loud, are truly impressive.
The market trend to smaller and smaller speakers gets me down. Yes, little speakers can sound fine--as long as you don't compare them to something more substantial, like the BP-8060ST. If you've never heard what a big speaker can do, you'll never notice how little speakers miniaturize the scale of the music or home theater experience. Right, size still matters.
The BP-8060ST is a bipolar design, meaning it projects sound forward and off the wall behind the speaker. The rear midrange and tweeter's output is exactly the same timbre (tonal balance) as the front's dual 4.5-inch midrange/1-inch tweeter speaker array (check out the picture to get a better idea of what this looks like). The bipolar radiation pattern produces a bigger, more spacious sound field than a conventional front-firing speaker would.
The built-in 300-watt power amplifier drives a 10-inch subwoofer, and the woofer's bass output is augmented with a pair of 10-inch bass radiators. No wonder this svelte speaker sounds so well endowed.

So the BP-8060ST eliminates the need for a separate subwoofer, and the advantages of using two subwoofers in the room instead of just one go beyond more bass output: the two speakers' bass is more evenly distributed throughout the room than a single sub's would be. Of course, the blend between the BP-8060ST's sub and its midrange drivers are part of the design, but it's easy to tweak the bass balance to taste with the subwoofer volume control on the speaker's rear panel.
The BP-8060ST's onboard, 300-watt amplifier features a 56-bit digital signal processor (DSP) that extends and shapes the bass response to perfectly blend the subwoofer system with the speaker's three 4.5-inch midrange drivers. A digital protection system monitors and controls the woofer system to lower distortion and prevent woofer damage at ultrahigh volume levels.

I listened to the BP-8060ST in a stereo home theater in the CNET listening room, but if you prefer a multichannel home theater, Definitive offers a matching CS-8060HD center-channel speaker ($699) with built-in powered 8-inch subwoofer and SR-8040BP surround speakers ($249 each). That would bring the cost of a five-channel Def Tech ensemble built around the BP-8060ST to less than $3,200, which is still very reasonable for a system of this quality.
Starting with Norah Jones 'Come Away With Me' SACD, the BP-8060ST absolutely nailed her sweet vocals, and when her drummer used brushes instead of sticks, the swishing sound of the wire brushes was perfectly rendered. That's a rare feat; brushes usually sound like a hissing noise, but here on the BP-8060ST, the brushes sound like they do in real life.
Tom Petty's 'Mojo' album, on high-resolution Blu-ray, ignited the BP-8060ST's subwoofers, and the skinny speakers generated heavyweight bass impact, with solid control. 'Mojo' sounded so good I pushed the volume way up, and the speakers stayed in cruising mode. They can rock and roll like much bigger speakers, that's for sure.
Moving onto home theater I fast-forwarded to the action-packed scenes from the 'Black Hawk Down' Blu-ray, and the BP-8060ST's soundstage was so deep and wide I didn't miss the surround channels one bit. Dialog was firmly anchored in the 'phantom' center channel, and dialog intelligibility, even in the most intense battle scenes, was very clear. Massive dynamic range assaults, like when the helicopter crashes, were handled by the BP-8060ST with ease, as were the explosions and gunfire. The speaker doesn't need the assistance of a separate subwoofer, and that wasn't the case with any of the previous powered tower speakers I've tested.
Finishing up with the orchestral score from 'Perfume,' the BP-8060ST demonstrated its refinement. The sound was so beautifully played, the strings had just the right balance of detail and lush tone. High treble detailing was sweet and airy.

So the BP-8060ST succeeds on both fronts, music and home theater, but my only question is, how can Definitive Technology's top-of-the-line Mythos ST SuperTower's sound possibly surpass the BP-8060ST?
The 'Rescuers' movies aren't really regarded as the most memorable of Disney animated films. They reside somewhere on the second tier of their animated titles, below movies like 'The Lion King,' 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Little Mermaid.' Maybe that's why Disney saw fit to release both of them in the same package (on the same disc), without much fanfare. However, I can't help but love them and I'm fully aware, and able to admit, that most of my love comes from nostalgia. I grew up on a steady diet of Disney VHS and 'The Rescuers' (and later 'The Rescuers Down Under') became one of my staples.
The avid Don Bluth fan inside me enjoys watching 'The Rescuers' because his influence can be felt throughout the film. From the animation style to the character motivations, Bluth's fingerprints are all over this one. In many ways it reminds me of 'All Dogs Go to Heaven,' even featuring a little orphan girl who possesses the power to talk to animals and just wants to be adopted by loving parents.
'The Rescuers' is a simple tale about an organization of mice who meet as the Rescue Aid Society. Why they're mice and how they possibly have enough work to justify the existence of this society is beside the point. We're not worried about believability right? I mean, it's a group of mice who seem to exist solely to solve kidnappings that the police are unable to handle.
Bernard (Bob Newhart) and Bianca (Eva Gabor) are assigned to rescue a tiny orphan girl named Penny (Michelle Stacy) from the clutches of the evil Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page) who's a cross between Cruella de Vil and Ursala. Madame Medusa has locked Penny away on an abandoned river boat deep in the Louisiana bayou. Penny is the only person small enough that can fit down a tiny hole in a rock, at low tide, and retrieve priceless gems from an old pirate treasure.
The thing that I like about 'The Rescuers' is that it has a much more serious feel to it than many other Disney movies. Even the opening song 'The Journey,' performed by Shelby Flint, is probably the most solemn title song for any Disney movie. Sure the movie has its cute animal sidekicks (like Evinrude the dragonfly) and evil animal sidekicks (Medusa's two pet crocs), but it plays the narrative a little closer to the chest. It treats the rescue as a fairly serious circumstance, with real weighty consequences, rather than as an excuse to throw in a few jokes and song numbers. It just feels different.
Whereas 'The Rescuers Down Under,' a sequel that came 13 years later, feels much more like a Disney film. The animation had been modernized (for better or worse depends on the eye of the beholder). The story had been condensed, featuring less sentimentality and more action, adventure, and funny gag-type scenes.
Still, it was nice to see that the second 'Rescuers' movie didn't fall into the crowd of crappy Disney sequels. It felt like a real sequel. One that complemented the first movie even if it didn't really follow along the same emotional lines.
Here another kid has been kidnapped. This time its Australian animal lover Cody (Adam Ryen) who makes it a habit of freeing helpless animals from poacher traps. After setting the world's rarest bird free from a trap, Cody soon crosses paths with a dangerous poacher named McLeach (George C. Scott). McLeach is a pretty bad dude who has no trouble slinging a tiny kid around by the scruff of his neck, kidnapping him, and making the police and Cody's family think that Cody met his demise in crocodile infested waters. McLeach's aim is to find that bird Cody set free by any means necessary.
It makes for an exciting adventure, one that I enjoyed at a young age and still do today. Both 'Rescuers' movies take time with their villains, making them appear as threatening as they should be. I'd say that the first film does a better job of approaching the material with a more serious eye, while the second one seems updated for a less discerning, younger audience.
I'll always love these two movies simply because of the adventure and emotional investment they bring to the table. They're understated in their presence because they aren't musicals and they don't really have many of Disney's most memorable characters. Still, I enjoy them every time I watch them.

This is a two-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack. That's right I said two-disc meaning that my fear came true and there is only one Blu-ray containing both of the films. They're both short though (78 minutes each) so they don't really have any problem fitting onto the 50GB Blu-ray Disc, but like the 'Fox and the Hound' release, it's just a little annoying that each movie doesn't have a separate disc. The release comes with a slipcover that has the same artwork as the case and also comes with a Disney Movie Rewards code inside. It's region free.
