Anybody heard Reimer Teton speakers?

My system consists of Thor Audio TPA-150 tubed monoblocks,
TA-2000 Preamp, with Quad 988 electrostatic speakers. I use a VPI Scoutmaster and a Cary 306/200 as a transport, with a Thor Audio Dac. I am seeking to trade in my Quad 988's for a true full range. My price range maximum is $15,000.00. But lately many people on this site have been
recommending Tyler Acoustics top of the line speaker which is on sale for $10,200.00 and sells factory direct (STereo Times loved it after hearing at the latest show)
furthermore, some people have recommended the Reimer Teton
which sells for about $6000.00 a pair. I spoke to one person who loves tham but did not compare it with any other speakers. I already spent $6500.00 on the Quad 988, while it is excellent in many respects it is not a true full fange speaker. Can this $6000.00 speaker The Reimer give me what I'm looking for at a very low price as compared to Sound Lab, Vandersteen, Wilson, Etc.?
Any comments would be appreciated.

I have owned my Teton GS speakers for over a year and they started out great and just got better with break in. Break in took about 4 months at about 6hrs./day of use. The bass took a very long time to break in, my speakers have the Titanic MKII 12in. woofers which are very similar to the Eminence woofers in 711smilins speakers. Rick has not made any speakers with Morel drivers in them since he started using the HI-VI Research drivers. Much attention has been paid to the bass response of the Tetons in this thread and not enough to the overall balance of strengths which also includes the midrange.
To my ears the speaker sounds coherent from top to bottom
with no weaknesses anywhere. I am listening at 11.5ft with 8ft. of separation.
About 1.5in of the inside of the speaker cabinet visible from the listening seat with the tweeters on the inside.
if you don't use enough toe in the speaker may sound a little bright. My system http://tinyurl.com/46nrf
