Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....

So I recently have been on a pursuit of better speakers ...I know its all relative to each individual listener . I am a professional musician and am seeking some powerful depth and clarity for my cavernous living room which will be addressed and treated. 30x11x10 pitched ceiling. 

I am polling the Tekton Double Impact owners they're opinions on living with these seemingly beast like cool speakers....after auditioning Harbeth and various others, I remain in a state of inquisitive, insatiable limbo and am ready to forge into some new sound arena....many of these high end speakers just aren't available to demo . What can handle high volume and still hold the presence and clarity / bottom? 

my tastes : Prince, all 70's jazz fusion such as Billy Cobham, Return to Forever, Lee Ritenour, Led Zeppelin, Kiss , Miles, Coltrane, Steely Dan , Toto, Jellyfish, Plini, David Maxim Micic , overall its melodic rock / jazz that needs to be sometimes cranked to very high levels especially on "bro night"

Thank you all !

This is the single wiring/crossover/binding upgrade I mentioned above. As far as I know, it is the only stock upgrade available. The DI SE is a different model tailored for dealers that includes different drivers and a more sophisticated crossover. Specific drivers for this model have not been made public.
You should prepare a list of all your concerns and call up Eric. He will answer all of your questions and has a superb ability to ask questions designed to select the proper speaker. Like you, he is a musician as well (a fine drummer) and where else can you call the owner of a company and have him help you with advice concerning the product? Eric is also open to new product suggestions and makes adjustments to individual designs as time and monies permit.
Give him a call, Tommy. You will not regret it. Use my name and he will charge you an additional $100.

tommy, if you were to consider the DI SE, it would appear that for an additional $2K above that, that the new Encore model would be a significant upgrade based upon a member who has done so.

Best ProAcs you can afford with downward firing ports and Soundocity outriggers. I love my ProAc Studio 148s and was a musician for 12 years. They get the strings and double reeds oh so right plus have no problem compressing the room with clean clear bass when playing dance or techno vinyl.

Each driver plays within their comfort zone is the best I can explain it. That’s why it’s a 4 way. The tweeters are high quality for sure and the other are Eminance pro audio. There is about $1400-1600 worth of drivers in the DIs . It’s the implementation that makes them special. For the 3k nothing can touch them and I say that with confidence. That’s not including cabinet crossovers etc.
