despite his imposing form and

most power hitters) strikes out

Speaker System
and Lighting the Fuse"
Definitive Technology, is the Mark
McGwire of hi-fi. Somehow, this
guy has been able to come up with
one incredible speaker home run
after another. As a result, there are
two problems when reviewing a
Def Tech speaker system. The first
is that there has been so much
praise and adulation
penned in
the past that
it's hard to
be compli-
mentary
without
being repeti-
tive. The
second prob-
lem comes
when it's
time to pack

the painful time
comes, and there
you are with tears
and packing tape,

newfound loves to

being a reviewer.)

chance to review
the latest home

from Def Tech.
