spiritual advisor." The other Super-
Cubes I've listened to (often while
huddled in the corner for fear of the
building coming down) have had
amazingly low but very musical bass
output — and lots of it. The Super-
Cube III is no exception.
"so good it's scary"
Definitive says that the SuperCubes
share technology that combines small
cabinets, active long-throw drivers
with big magnets, pressure-driven
infrasonic radiators, and a high-power
digital amps. (Now we're talking!)
I've never been able to verify what's
inside of a SuperCube subwoofer. I've
been reluctant to take one apart lest
everything fly out at once like one of
those spring-loaded snakes in a can.
Seriously, these suckers seem denser

those digital amps are probably pow-
ered by a small thermonuclear reactor.
The SuperCube III looks like its
bigger siblings (with signature piano
black gloss end caps and a black sock
covering all but the jack panel and
heat sinks on the back) and acts like
them, too. It's a brute, albeit a small,
10.25-inch cubed one. But, unlike the
beefy grade-school bully who could

fast enough to catch you if you got
away, the SuperCube III is as spritely
in performance as it is powerful. Try
comparing the pounding soundtrack
from the getaway scene in The Trans-
porter with the much more rapid
cannon and shrapnel impacts in
Master and Commander and you'll
hear how this incarnation of the
SuperCube can slap you or whap you
— or simply stomp you into the
ground if it so chooses.
So what's a persnickety plasma
person who doesn't know jack about
sound to do? Get this mini Mythos
system, let your friends ogle its great
looks, and then fall under its sonic
spell. You'll be converted. If you're
reading this magazine, you probably
don't need to be converted, but I'll bet
you know a person or two who does.

SuperCube III is a can't-go-wrong,
first-class, you'll-thank-me-in-the-
morning recommendation. On the
other hand, if you're already a devotee
of superior sound but would like
something a little classier in looks
that's also a bit smaller than what
you'd typically need to satisfy your
audio cravings, you'll find that
the Mythos Gems are absolutely
sparkling — to your eyes and ears.
Diamonds may be forever, but these
Gems are for everyone.
