Tekton Double Impacts

Hi All.
Sorry to barge in on your discussion, but I am looking for help. I am confused.
I am convinced Eric has engineered something special with his latest range of speakers, regardless of price.
I am putting together my "final" (haha) post retirement system. I have bit at a time purchased some reasonably hi end components and had chosen and paid for ($20,000) a boutique but well reviewed pair of speakers. Unfortunately the manufacturer ran into difficulties and I'm not sure I will ever get my speakers from him.
Anyway due to my probable loss, I was convinced I was now going to have to compromise on speakers. Then I stumbled upon Tekton.
After reading numerous positive reviews from trustworthy people, I feel I may not have to lose out on speaker quality. As part of my retirement budget I have nearly completed a reasonable large dedicated music room.
I had a brief discussion (telephone) with Eric and had decided I would go with the 1812's.
However, then I came across this thread, and and from that confusion!!
All of you have been glowing with reports on the DI's and DI SE's, which is great because Eric told me the 1812's have everything the DI's have (sound quality wise) and then some.
Ok so how do the  Ulfberht's fit in? They are around the same price as the 1812's. I am only interested in stereo. Which should I buy?
I notice Eric chimes in on this thread from time to time. I would be very happy to get his opinion as well, if possible.

Graham,
How big is your room?
What type of music do you like?
What equipment have yo purchased?

Hi Corelli.
The room is approx 27' x 17' x10'
I have a pair of Halcro DM88 monoblock amps and matching DM8 preamp:
PS Audio DirectStream DAC: PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player:     PS Audio P10 Power Regenerator: HiFi Racks Podium Reference rack: Teo Audio Liquid Cable IC's and Speaker Cables: QNAP TVS-1282T i7 NAS
All are still new in boxes waiting for my room to be finished. Oh! Cables are about to be ordered.
I am a ex 60's boy musically. Blues, folk, rock, bluegrass, cajun, some jazz, some country a little classical. Mad on Grateful Dead.
Love guitar based music eg Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Jerry Garcia, Leo Kottke...sorry, getting carried away here.

I received my pair of DI’s without grills. I got a reply from Tekton that grills are in backlog and will take sometime to receive them. Meanwhile are there any cloth covers/socks available in market which I can use till I receive grills?

In my opinion these are big speakers, bigger and heavier than I expected. For convenience purpose instead of spikes can we use wheels, any ideas?

Very important question: Is there any break-in period for DIs?
I connected DI to my Emotiva Power amplifier/ XMC-1, my present listening position is at 10’ and i’m trying to set the levels for these towers. My radioshack SPL meter measures 80db at bottom db level (-12db) in XMC-1 (i’m using 75spl huss noise in XMC-1 to set levels and the range is -12db ~ +12db)

I am a newbie please correct me if i’m doing something wrong.

Thanks

@iamasif:

I'm 2 months into my waiting period for the grills.

Soundocity was recommended to me by one of the regulars in this thread (sorry I have forgotten who specifically). They have a product with wheels.

Isolating the DIs will reap benefits. I had asked a similar question and there were many great options recommended by a number of regular posters in this thread. I'd search for Sistrum Soundocity Herbies etc within this thread.

In my experience, break-in wasn't very long. Give it a day or two. Others may have different opinions on this.
