DefTech Replaces their Big Towers

[SiliGoose]

Not sure how many DefTech owners we have at the Guide but I thought this worth posting anyway. It seems the big BP2000tl and bigger BP3000tl powered towers are about to be replaced:

"Earlier this month, at the CES show in Las Vegas, we showed our new BP7000sc and BP7001sc towers. These two models will be our best two towers and will replace the BP3000TL and BP2000TL. Essentially, these new models will have the same midrange and tweeter sections that are used in the BP3000TLs and BP2000TLs. This will include 4 x 6.5" midranges and 2 x 1" aluminum dome tweeters. (The crossover networks used in the BP7000sc and BP7001sc are a bit different than the ones used in the BP3000TLs and BP2000TLs though.)

The real difference is in the subwoofer section......The new towers will feature our SuperCube technology. Specifically, the BP7000sc will have a 14" subwoofer and two 14" bass radiators and the BP7001sc will have a 10" subwoofer and two 10" bass radiators.

(The sound quality of the BP3000TL and BP7000sc will be quite similar
though.)

The BP7000sc will have a suggested selling price of $5000.00 per pair and the BP7001sc will have a suggested selling price of $3500.00 per pair. We expect to begin shipping these new models in April 2003."

I haven't seen pictures yet but I understand the cabinets are angled in some manner.

That makes sense -- Def Tech has recommended angling the BP2000/3000 towers all along for optimal playback, (propping up the front edge to tilt the tower slightly backwards), and I've always wondered why they didn't just mount the drivers on an angled baffle to begin with.
