I have owned Audiokinesis Jazz Modules for about 5 years now. In fact I am the person Duke mentioned that could reach out and touch the speakers in my setup. At that time I had a very small listening space and at one point I just decided to plop down the speakers in front of my chair and listen to the results. I was pretty surprised at how well it worked and so was Duke. Subsequently I moved the speakers around and never had an issue tuning them to the various room boundaries. Duke's designs are quite flexible as to room size and placement.
I have also spent a fair amount of time listening to the Classic Audio speakers and have always been impressed. Given the prices I doubt I will have a pair in my system anytime soon, as is the case with my favorite Soundlab and Apogee (fully restored) models. I will say though that the Audiokinesis speakers are right up there for a fraction of the price. Duke's design principals are solid and in my opinion he is the King of crossover design.
