Tekton Impact Monitors

Hmm, interesting. I thought the changes in drivers was not limited to the Electerns. Do I misunderstand?

Doh.  Electrons!  Darn auto-correct.

@soundermn - I think you are right. From what I can tell a number of the new Tekton speakers have had changes in their components over the life of the speaker. Some of them are announced and others aren't. I would just clarify with Eric when placing your order. I wouldn't think that's a reason not to buy unless you are stuck on one driver over another.

@sbayne   Having listened to the 2.7s about three weeks now, their characteristics are becoming evident. But, before I get to how the speakers sound I want to mention a couple of things that happened after I got the Enzo 2.7s.  The first afternoon I had them, I put on Beethoven's 9th symphony just to get a quick listen before working on placement and spacing.  The next thing I knew,  the final movement was drawing to a conclusion as I sat there pondering Beethoven's genius. Loudspeakers? What loudspeakers?  The other thing that caught my attention was on the second or third evening after they arrived, my charming wife, who is a music lover but prefers to spend her evenings in another room watching TV, suddenly came into the room and asked me to play a couple of songs she liked.  Shortly after that she was grabbing the remote and wanted total control of the music menu!  She never does that!
  The 2.7s, like other Tektons,  are decent looking speakers but no where near the polished look of the Usher Mini One.  They are rather industrial and would probably be eye catching if painted in a nice metallic silver or industrial gray.  But I didn't buy these speakers for their looks, so I'll get to how they sound.  I'll say up front the DMD tweeter in my Ushers are more convincing than the 2.7s.  I just listened to an SACD of 2Ls "The Nordic Sound".  The first piece on the disc is Mozart's Violin Concerto #4 in D Major.  The DMD tweeters in my Ushers render the violins in a convincingly sweet yet resonant way.  The 2.7s not so much.  They come across as slightly harder.  The same thing with a ripped FLAC file of Jethro Tull's "Aqualung Live" CD.  Ian Anderson's flute is more cogent via the Ushers as there is a transparency the 2.7s can't quite match.
 That being said, once the frequencies descend into the mid range the 2.7s shine.  Human voices sound awesome through the 2.7s as does percussion and I don't mean just drums. The leading edge of a note from a sharply struck piano key has a percussive sound that many speakers can not render. The Enzo 2.7s do it well.  The percussive properties of the leading edge of the guitar notes in Dire Straits' "You and Your Friend" from the "On Every Street" album are stunning. In that same song there is a series of soft, rhythmic rim shots behind Mark Knopfler's singing that sound real, which is impressive considering they are not loud, just pleasantly crisp and correct sounding. Did I mention vocals?  The 2.7s have vocals down pat.  On Paul Simon's "Graceland" CD the song "Homeless" started playing and I just sat there in astonishment.  It sounded like these A Capella singers were performing in my living room!   The 2.7s do a very good job in the bass region as well.  Not only do they go reasonably low, they do it with speed and tightness.  The two 8" bass drivers seem to start and stop on a dime.  Referring back to the "Graceland" album, the 2.7s present the bass line on "You Can Call Me Al"  in a tight, staccato way with obvious space between the notes......beautiful!
  Another nice thing about the 2.7s is the fact that my amp has never had it so easy.  My amp is probably thanking me for buying the 2.7s given the fact that I sometimes howl at the moon and crank up the volume.  My Ushers are far less sensitive than the 2.7s.
 The combination of excellent imaging, the ability to just disappear and the properties I have already mentioned, make the Enzo 2.7s a real bargain.  They have certainly made listening to music a lot of fun again!
