Tekton Enzo, a strong contender for Speaker of the Year

Late last year when I had my first encounter with a Tekton Design speaker, the M-Lore ($650 a pair), I was so bowled over by the sound I could hardly wait to try another Tekton. The time has come today with the all-new Enzo, a 40-inch-tall tower sporting three tweeters and two 8-inch woofers.

Another Enzo down

In one of the most expensive unplanned publicity stunts in movie history, actor Eddie Griffin wrecked a Ferrari Enzo while practicing for a charity race intended to promote his new movie, Redline. The owner of the car, Daniel Sadek, is also the executive producer of the movie. Sadek has a large exotic car collection which he, foolishly in our estimation, let be used in the movie. According to Sadek, his Enzo is damaged beyond repair. There's video of the wreck here. And here's a picture of an unwrecked Ferrari Enzo, just to reassure you that there are still … Read more
