Now on to a more fun topic:
I spent most of last night listening to a variety of different types of music (blues, rock, jazz, soul, classical) that were either recorded in the studio or live in different venues to further evaluate the Ulf's for my up coming review. It became very difficult to keep my "reviewers hat" on because this speaker allows you to relax and connect to the emotions that the musicians are conveying in their performance. Yes, all the parameters of world reference level standards (effortless dynamics, total transparency allowing all the micro-details to be easily heard, accurate sound-staging with air and space between the players, beautiful timbres/colors, and a bottom end that totally pressurizes the room) are done by this magnificent speaker, without it sounding analytical or losing the feeling in the music.
Another amazing aspect is how, just like the DI's, this VERY big speaker just disappears like the best of the breed of world class two way monitors do if set-up the right way. Can a 12K speaker be considered a bargain? If it out performs virtually anything on the current market, which I believe the Ulf's do, the answer is yes! Two more listeners that I know personally have sold off their speakers that retail for around 30K and replaced them with the DI's, so the owners of even more expensive speakers might really trip out when they hear is offered by the Ulf's compared to their 100K transducers.
