There are a couple of small marks on stand base, otherwise superb speakers and stands, all boxed and lovely.

Few speaker ranges are as obsessively focussed as Eclipse’s. The company’s products – including these, the Eclipse TD510ZMk2 speakers – are built upon a single aim: to reproduce an impulse signal as accurately as possible.

An impulse is a massive, instant burst of a signal. If reproduced perfectly, that signal can be shown (mathematically) to contain the full frequency range with no phase issues. Eclipse’s logic is that if its speakers can reproduce the impulse properly, every other aspect of sound quality will be covered, too.

It’s an aim that’s easily stated, but with moving-coil drivers, impossible to achieve in practice. A conventional multi-driver design struggles when it comes to reproducing an impulse signal accurately, so the obvious choice is going the single-driver route.Eclipse TD510ZMk2: Sound improvements

However, within the innate limitations of moving coil design, it’s clear that the development Eclipse’s engineers have carried out on the TD510ZMk2 has improved matters significantly over the previous version, which was launched in 2005. This new one definitely sounds smoother, weightier and more tonally balanced.

And while the single-driver approach has limitations (as do all alternatives),

its strengths are mighty persuasive too.

Using a solitary unit to deliver the whole frequency range eliminates the integration issues that plague multiple drive units, plus there’s no crossover to spoil signal phase, blur resolution or flatten dynamics. All crossover networks suffer from these issues to some degree.

Of course, it takes more than a specific drive unit configuration to paint a convincing sonic picture. There’s plenty of innovative engineering here.

Eclipse TD510ZMk2: Cabinet engineering

For instance, the drive unit isn’t bolted to that curved enclosure, as would be the normal way. Instead, it’s held by a heavy internal anchor, which in turn feeds mechanical vibrations into the stand. The well-damped cabinet is an airtight shell around this structure – see diagram below.

Eclipse has worked hard on the 10cm drive unit, going through 40 samples before it was happy with the results. The new unit has a reshaped glass-fibre cone that’s lighter and better behaved than before, while travel has been increased by almost 40 per cent – a huge amount. Distortion levels are reduced too.

The curved cabinet is made out of ABS (similar to the plastic Lego bricks are made of) and is 14 per cent larger than before. It naturally avoids all the colourations and flexing that wooden panels invariably suffer from, and the smoothed shape reduces reflection effects. The enclosure also floats on the outstretched arms of the anchor and is merely an sealed cover for the speaker internals.The effect of this arrangement (and the enclosure material) is minimal cabinet vibration, leading to a cleaner sound. The cabinet’s egg-like shape helps to avoid sonically damaging internal and external reflections too, which helps with the TD510ZMk2s’ excellent stereo imaging and resolution.

It means that Kate Bush’s vocals on 50 Words For Snow, for instance, are as direct and communicative as you like. There’s a lifelike fluidity about low-level dynamics that makes her voice sound so much more convincing than traditional rivals manage – even three-way designs with a dedicated midrange unit tend to sound vague and blurred in comparison
