First: the Double Impact is a year old
Second: it's safe to say nothing like the overall look and design of the Double Impact has ever been done
Third: this is new art and we've implemented no fewer than 5 proprietary (patented) design elements into the Double Impact that I'm not aware of being done prior.
For the record: any/all changes to the Double Impact design from serial #1 through today are the result of direct customer feedback, design improvements, and voicing improvements from focused listening sessions. The speaker is being driven with every type of amplifier imaginable and in home theaters. The speaker is spot-on, versatile and affordable. As the designer I can honestly state: the overall 'spirit' of the design has never been compromised and all Double Impacts produced have an overall comparable sonic signature. The speaker design has now been fully massaged, honed, and further refined since it's conception. The Double Impact design has been locked down for a while now and I see no need to change anything. We've also been forced to bounce around a bit with capacitors as we've purchased everything available so we've had to go hunting for quality substitutes.
Also note: within reason we can add/match the upgrades to this speaker as some users have outlined here on Agon - it's no problem. Then, we produce SE model which is my personal statement on how to do this speaker without compromise.
We're also now producing the wide-polar response version that sounds fantastic.
Anyone sitting on the fence about this speaker... now is the time to make the purchase.
