RE: Thanks very much! I wonder if they could swap in the SB Satori TeXtreme tweeter...

From Jim Salk talking about the Purifi drivers. They seem to be the new standard for how a driver should be. I do not know about swapping tweeters, would need a xover tweak I'm guessing. I wonder how different it would sound.

The BePure 2's shine in two areas. First, the distortion levels are so low with Purifi drivers, they set a new standard in that regard. It is quite audible and sets a new standard for other driver manufacturers to match. The midrange is pristine even when the drivers are also reproducing deep bass. Even though the drivers are 6.5" drivers, their long throws allow for great bass extension and the bass they produce is very tight and articulate. These are slightly smaller floor standers, but the bass they put out defies reason for a speaker of that size.
I could live with any of these speakers. But if given a choice, I would likely prefer the BePure 2's because the low distorion midrange is so alluring. It sets a new standard for sound reproduction and I know of no alternative drivers that can compete in this area.
I hope this helps.
