moving experience (literally) that

you could easily find yourself

shouting, “Amen, brother!” and

“Crank it up!”—even if you’re the

strictest of the Amish. In fact,

plunk the Pope down in front of a

pair of these mighty towers belting

“You and Your Folks/23

rd

Psalm,”

and it’s quite possible that he’ll

sign up on the spot to be a key-

note speaker at the next Souther n

Baptist convention. These speak-

ers are that good.

I’ve always liked Definitive

Technology’s approach. They build

great-sounding speakers that ordi-

nar y folks like you and me can

af ford. Does that mean that, if you

own a pair of fine Mar tinLogan or

Sonus Faber speakers, you should

dump them at your next garage

sale and buy a pair of Def Techs?

Not necessarily. Does it mean that,

when you scrape together your

leftover cash (after you’ve paid for

day care, signed this month’s

mor tgage check, filled up a gro-

cer y car t, and bought a DVD or

two) and buy a pair of Def Tech

speakers, they’ll sound as if you

spent three or four times as

much? Damn straight.

Most of us equate the word value

with mid to lower price points,

probably because manufacturers

promote higher-priced gear on

aspects other than value. That puts

the BP7000

SC

SuperTowers in a

somewhat dif ficult

predicament. At

$5,000 per pair

($7,495 for the

home theater

system that the

company sent me),

the SuperTowers

are cer tainly up

there when it

comes to what ordi-

nar y schmoes like

me can af ford, so

I don’t know much about the

Blind Boys of Alabama. I assume

that these soulful gospel songsters

( being musical advocates of the

tr uth) are indeed blind, as well as

from Alabama. From the pictures

on their

Higher Ground

CD, it’s

pretty clear that they’re not boys.

However, since they’ve been

singing together for over 60 years,

they were no doubt qualifying

youngsters when the name stuck

for good. ( The Blind Boys-to-Men

of Alabama doesn’t have quite

the same ring, either.) What I do

know is that listening to

Talk about an

all-in-one package:

The BP7000SC has

two tweeters, four

midrange drivers,

and a 14-inch woofer

that’s powered by an

1,800-watt amp.

The BPVX/P is a
