As can be seen in this thread, and another speaker thread I have going, I have a roving eye for speakers.  I just like trying various types.
But even if I purchase another speaker I can't see myself ever getting rid of my 2.7s.  Too good, and the bargain I paid was ridiculous for the performance. 

I love electronic music and the 2.7s are a dream for that category.  Their particularly dense, punchy, solid imaging and gorgeous tonality make electronic music feel like another dimension has been summoned in and around the speakers.  I never get tired of it.

 I haven't yet looked at the 3.5, but will look into it. The equalizer could indeed be ignored in an upgrade. 

Sounds good, Tom. Seems to be some demand for that model! And maybe someone will step up to address the equalizer?

@prof   i would really be interested in some recommendations for electronic music.   do not have much but my favorite album is underwater sunlight by Tangerine Dream.  thanks in advance

Question , why are the 2.4 spec'd at 33 hz manuf ( 36hz stereophile )
and the 2.7s are 35hz manuf, when they both have the same woofer and approximately the same size cabinet ?
Crossovers ? why would the newer speakers have less ?

I'm not complaining about the 2.7s lower end
(  especially after moving from 2 way speakers )  
and 'am looking forward to the upgrade possibilities
but I thought I'd ask Why the difference .

Happy almost Friday

I can offer a general answer. For perspective, the difference between 33 and 35 Hz is barely academic, virtually identical. Thinking in half-octaves (15 Hz at 30 Hz) is more germane to performance class than is a few cycles. Low E1 on a bass is 40 Hz.

Differences are accounted for by technical particulars. Bass alignment is very specific to cabinet volume, rigidity, driver position, diaphragm mass, maximum excursion, suspension characteristics and motor factors. An alignment is optimized considering these many factors among others.
