My Impact Monitors have the Tymphany dome tweeters and SB Acoustics 6 1/2" mid/bass drivers (this info from a phone call with Eric).
The Website still has the picture of the original ring radiator tweeters, they haven’t gotten around to changing it I guess. These are rather large, powerful Monitors, and do need some room to breath; they certainly wouldn’t work as a desktop speaker, IMO, but they do need a sub (or 4) to fill out the extreme bottom end. BTW, Pentatone is another Label with awesome sound quality; just listened to Dvorak "Overtures" with the Prague PO/Hrusa, on a Hybrid SACD; fantastic recording of an orchestra.
whyOwhy: The Impact monitors are not nearly as high sensitivity as the DI, you will definitely need more than 1 Watt to drive them. .
I heard the KEF LS50 at an Atlanta Dealer about 1 year ago; they were impressive, very clean, pinpoint imaging and a true point source, but don't have the scale, dynamics or Impact (sorry) that the Impact Monitors have-
