Tekton Double Impacts

As I recall 1/4-20 lancelock.

Excellent, standard 1/4 x 20. You can tell they're made in America.

Jeffrey regarding the 'forward in your face'  description;  Are you able to increase the distance between you and the speakers, or try to aim them with less toe-in using a focal point behind your sitting position by several feet, or space them apart much further apart (or a combination of the 3), to reduce this effect if it's undesirable?

Personally, I like dynamic vocals that are a tad forward, especially at lower volume levels, but I wouldn't sacrifice coherence for it.  When I say "In your face" to describe a sonic presentation it's used as a perjorative to describe a deleterious reproduced midrange that's calling attention to it's self, lacking in coherence, shouty/shrill/peaky/lacking in micro dynamics and nuance (like a certain OEMs horn with a measured rising top end from 2k-10k of 2-8db!)  not to be confused with "a close shave" something I might say about certain metal tweeters that are hot and cut like laser beams severing your ears off in the process.  So on a scale of 1-10 (one being very recessed, 5 being about right, 10 being you can tell the lead vocalist needs to floss better) where do the Ulfberhts fall?
 
Thanks again for your honest assessment of their sound and I really value your opinion, but I just wanted to compare how we both say the same thing and if we mean it in a bad or a good way and to what degree.  If you could tell me and forgive me for asking this if it's been answered, but what are your room dimensions?  What is the distance between the speakers, the speakers front baffle to the back wall as well as your listening positioning?  Just approximations, and again forgive me if this was answered before. 

Thanks again for helping us all with your experience with the Ulfberhts. I really want a pair for my large listening room.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Carcopo  

@craigl59: There are comments from various members on this thread around 4/15 4/16 as well as on 4/25 regarding their results with Herbie's sliders and other isolation products they have used with the Double Impacts as well as other components/speakers. There was also some discussion regarding the same, prior to the question I asked, a few pages back from the 4/15 date posts.   

Here is my post (lightly edited) from 4/25 with some quick impressions.

------------------------
Herbie's Audio speaker isolation Gliders are in-system now. I went with 8 Giant Threaded Stud Gliders, 1 inch length, screwed in flush with the Double Impact's base. I did not use the nuts since they left a gap between the base and the isolation device.

Man, do they make the speakers easy to move on our hardwood flooring!

I did notice a sonic difference, though I would label it as "one of more,"  a bit more in this case... rather than one of' an order of magnitude' difference.

I wanted to utilize the isolation platforms I've been using for years now. In addition to sonic improvements, they just happen to look really good with the Double Impacts, at least to my eyes, and provide an 'early warning' to my son : )  

I also ordered 8 Giant Fat Gliders. Robert Herbelin didn't feel strongly about doubling up, but advised me to experiment. I used Blu-Tack between the Gliders and the isolation platform.

I had one speaker with the Threaded Gliders screwed in (on the floor) and the other with the Glider - Iso Platform - Threaded Gliders. My ears just wanted to listen to one speaker. It was so very clear and easy to pick up.

Again, not an order of magnitude difference. Just more. And a lot more with the doubled up solution. And more rightness / righteousness musically. 

Everything has tightened up. Taut is the word I would use, along with greater fullness (body) which seem oppositional as elements. Better separation and depth into the music, more detail and clarity. More fun, more enjoyment.

Hope this is helpful.

@mac48025:  The DIs are elevated by 2.75 inches to their base in my application (probably only marginally higher than spikes, unless they spikes are on carpeting).

I recently came across some comments on one of the general Tekton threads/forums about the need to elevate the speakers in question since the woofer was so close to the floor. I wonder if this is also something that is coming into play?
