The new Contour 20i is designed to surpass all other tripod Contour models we've created. And that's how it works.

The new Esotar 2i tweeter is a turbocharged version of the beloved Esotar 2. It now features a larger rear chamber for more effective damping and the innovative Hexis inner dome seen on the Confidence, Core and other models. Together, they smooth out the frequency response and reduce unwanted resonances for a clearer and smoother treble.

The bass element has also been tuned. It's still made from our proprietary magnesium silicate polymer (MSP) material, of course. The voice coil is still made of lightweight aluminum and still uses a vented dual ferrite magnet system. Behind the distinctive black cone is a new lower suspension. This is made from aramid fibers and incorporates some ingenious structural features. The ribs are of different widths, so the movement of the cone can be controlled even more precisely. You'll be surprised at the difference in sound that such small changes can make.

The distribution filter is also simplified. Additional impedance correction circuits are no longer needed - which means an even more direct signal path and cleaner sound. The housing has also been strengthened and the internal damping improved.
