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 !

+1 Excellent advice. If I did not have the expendable income I would have been happy keeping the DI’s but I’m definitely not parting with my DI SE’s. Unless someone says that the new Encores sound a lot better than the DI SE. Please dont tell me that. My wife’s going to kill me.

good advice , I answered all questions and it leans towards 50% split on both sets!

To spend an extra +$3200 on the SE’s , they’d have to have knockout comparison value . Both sets back to back and there’s an obvious winner ! Like ...why would you even consider buying the DI’s because they sound so much better....

Tommy,  my DI SE have a sharpened Clairity over the DI like a camera sharpening its focus and not in bright way. I’m taking nothing away from the DI’s. I’m not saying they’re out of focus. Its difficult to speak of one without the perceived disparaging of the other.

I’ve already asked in the main Tekton DI thread, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone in SoCal with them. I know one guy in NorCal who has some though.
