Not big news, the Echo has always been a decent sounding smart speaker, but not Hi-Fi. This one has a 1" tweeter, three 2" mid-range speakers, and a 5.25" woofer. It will be interesting to see how it sounds, but I think if they are going to do this, they should offer a "dumb twin" for stereo sound! Also notable: "Adapts to any room - Automatically senses the acoustics of your space, fine-tuning playback for optimal sound. Designed to protect your privacy - Built with multiple layers of privacy controls, including a microphone off button that electronically disconnects the mics." https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G9Y3ZMC?ascsubtag=i35kirl7valtib8sg07ei56mfZ5BR8wu&tag=dealnewscom&camp=1789&creative=9325&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
