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"

d2girls, Hi, it’s grandpa. I am surprised you are still at it. So much anger, hostility, and I am guessing you heard a pair, set up properly in a room, with excellent ancillary gear, and made your comments based on that. Once again, I am seeing that side of you, that you said you were working on. Please, for your sake, delete your posts, as you do not want to be a troll. Trolls are not welcome here....Plus, calling people 1/2 deaf, if they own them, is immature, ignorant, and far from professional. With comments like this, you do not belong on the Audiogon forums. And please, do not personally email me, as last time, thank you. When you are nice, I will be nice. Enjoy ! MrD.

I just got my set of Double Impacts.  I’m running them with a Lass Labs X250, Audible Illusions Modulus 3B, Music Hall 9.1 with the 9.3motor upgrade and a SoundSmith Aida cartridge.  The speakers are amazing.  For me the test of a good speaker is if they do large classical music well.  I don’t like classical music and normally listen for about 5 minutes and turn it off.  With the Double Impacts, I listened to 2 full albums.  I was in Symphony Hall.  Enough said in my opinion.

I purchased my Tekton Double Impacts last November and have been listening to them every day since. I’ve gotta say, when I play an excellent quality recording, the audio is simply out of this world. I’ve listened to the Hans Zimmer Blu ray, Live In Prague with breathtaking results. It’s a real tour de force for the Double Impacts. Also with stunning audio quality two SACD discs, Dire Straits Brothers In Arms and Shangri-La. The audio quality can be positively haunting. There really isn’t any way to appreciate these or any other speakers other than with first hand listening. I took a chance when I purchased the Tektons as I had never heard them. I consider the Tektons one of the best audio purchases that I have ever made. I am using a Denon AVRX4400H receiver with excellent results.
