Anybody heard the new Gingko Tubulous speakers?


Guess you m,ust have been at your dealer VERY recently or at CES.But met e guy on A'gon who said he hgeard them at CES and told Vihn Vu "nice sound.Where's the sub" Being told there was none and that deep sound came from tripple 6nd half inch trpple drivers one in back of each other sounded so good he wrote a $950 check geting a $500 break on the $2500 price.Wonder if anybody else has simmariliy been blown away.Reminds me of a speaker back in the day (80's days that is) where Linn made one with a driver backing a driver and called it an isocaric loading scheme.Could be pretty nice sounding but it's all in the ear of the beholder.Saw Fremmer show vibe reduction on a scope (ahhha subjecive instrument in Hifi how novel) with anactive silent running set up.Worked great to ear and scope.But the Gingko Cloud 10 (or was it 11 not much difference) did almost as well.As the VPI site gas said Harry has flipped for the new platforms.Me?I might give it a whirl and see if the mini clouds work on amps and digital.My guess is they should work beter than expensive BDR shelves.But close in price with a cloud but mapple with mini's would save some bucks.Was interested in speakers but iof anybody loves/hates the Coulds put it down.My only problem with the shelves is it does not allow for sperating deck an d it's pucks or pointys to be physically spperated on the Brightstar platforms where motor was given some seperation from deck.But perhaps just a BDR sheet under motor on a Ginko (which at up to $500 ia preety freakin' epensive for molded acrylic and Lacrosse balls.Buit what in this hobby is a giveaway.Guess some items like Vobrapods or sorbothanepucks aren't that bad.So I want to know that not only did I see it on a scope but I HEAR it going in and when removed.
But again anybody hear the speakers?
Thanks

Sure they are a bargain. Its isobaric I think. They do look a bit odd for a speaker but you might get a kick out of it. And yes they have more bass than they have a right to but there drivers inside the tubular housing as well don't forget. So that single 6 or so inch driver is not working alone. They even have a crossover I am pretty sure if I am not mistaken. Someone help me out here will ya.
