Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Not even broken in? A tad too rushed for proper evaluation of any speaker that is brand new. I think you know that.

Agree 101% The Clarity TC caps are wonderful in power  supplies.

The Audyn true copper caps are also very good indeed. I have them in my DI. Not quite as good as the Jupiter copper foil, not as rich or resolving of micro details, but very good indeed. Jupiter copper foils are very expensive however.   
Tekton Double Impacts
No. They are more resolving. The electrolytic caps used in the DI are dark sounding. That is the sound quality of electrolytic caps. The parts I used opened up the speaker, made them more resolving, improved imaging, greater weight and body and mo...

LOL! Agreed. Imagine also using Duelund inductors in the DIs! They are the best and very costly. Then wire it all up using the wonderful  Mundorf silver and gold wire placed in a silk and cotton sheathing.  Oh what a DIY fantasy dream!

@mac48025. You will want to mod the SEs as they will have the better drivers. I can assure you the crossover parts can be upgraded in the SE reflecting more of what I used. Duelund would not be possible due to the crazy high cost. Remember the cap...

No worries on the tweeters. First off no need to rewire all of them for the upgrades.  You can just deal with the tweeter connections to the crossover. Use this heat sink as @jcarcopo refers to....https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-ST-23-Heat-Sink/dp/B...

No. Not at all. Neodymium mid driver is nice. Most likely what is in the SE. Smoother response and same effeciency. Crossover parts and wire are most important however . Can now use the Gaia II more safely😁There have been more changes to the cross...

Place your crossovers outboard, upgrade the drivers to Beta woofers and finally upgrade to Alphalite midrange drivers. This will shave off  about 8 pounds per speaker and deliver better sound quality 🙂 
Is Tidal in trouble?
They will get purchased.  No worries. Sprint already has 33% ownership in Tidal.   
What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano
Great speakers those Bolero’s.  I never modified my set and owned them for 2 years I think. Loved them. Very easy to listen to with no listener fatigue at all. Great imaging and a warm inviting sound. Beautiful to look at also! Very smooth highs. ... 
ROON help needed
Agreed on PCs and laptops not being needed, but you can’t beat the SQ of Roon. Amazing with Tidal and your ripped CDs.  Highly suggested along with the Micro or UltraRendu.  
ROON help needed
Also forgot to mention Roon brings out the best SQ possible for Tidal.  
What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano
Tekton Double Impact will get you 100% of what you want.  No compromise at all for piano or any other type of music. They replaced $16,000 and $22,000 speakers for me.  I did modify mine, but even stock they play beautiful piano.  
ROON help needed
Roon’s DSP is very good.  This alone is a great feature.  Also you get much more including liner notes, album reviews, artist info, lyrics, artists similar to the one you like, artists that influenced the artist you like...
