Excellent Match for Mythos STS
I bought the Mythos Nine to serve as the center channel speaker in my 5.1 setup. I choose it to match the Mythos STS that I was using as the front speakers. It does a great job with male voices and is a perfect timber match with the fronts. The only limitation is that it does not go low enough - drops off around 100 Hz. I have it crossed over at 80Hz as wall-mounting reinforces the low end.
The styling is subtle and matches my Panasonic plasma's black bezel. It looks very good when wall-mounted under the TV. I left the DefTech label off for a 'stealth' look.
The only negative about this speaker is the difficulty of mounting the speaker onto the wall bracket. It is almost impossible to do without scratching the back of the speaker. The scratches would be invisible once the speaker is mounted, but if you are OCD it would bother you that your nice new speaker was scratched up.

amazing center channel!
i first purchased the mythos 7 to accommodate my mythos st-l loudspeakers and it just didn't cut it. the mythos 7 was perfect as far as size (have my center mounted above my samsung 8500) so i went with the smaller of the two... not a regrettable mistake but not the right fit for my system.
after an initial break in period i still wasn't satisfied and talked to the manager at my local bestbuy, told me to order the 9 and i could return the 7 for credit towards the 9... HAPPY DAYS!
now that i have squeezed this speaker into the only place i had available and given it the proper break in time its night and day between the 7 and the 9. so much more of a speaker for a few bucks more (at this price point i couldn't have asked for a better performing speaker).
as for the wall mount, i can't really comment on that cause i didn't use it. i went with the def tech pro mounts and mounted it from the ceiling
