Speakers for High-End Digital Piano
Chayro is right on target. I don't think you could do much better. 
SPDIF suggestion
Audioquest VDM 5 is a great bargain if you can get one. It is the latest audioquest deleted model that was second from the top of the line. Well balanced with a heavy dose of just good attributes. Highly recommended because most audioquest stuff i... 
Do I really need a preamp?
I use a passive and have for about 25 yrs. I have never really wondered much why it sounds good to me. I have had and listened to new and older ss and tube pres in the 2000-8000 range. And I always go back to a passive. I have heard systems with p...

current state of vienna acoustics
I have had vienna acoustic mozart grands 3yrs. And I think are excellent speakers. As has been said you want to listen them now and not rely on your memory to much. And if you are trying them out it is good to have somebody that knows how to set t... 
Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
Audiofreak. You said he would exchange the speakers. Can't get much better service than that. Anything after that is a compromise to you it sounds like. You should change out the speakers. If Eric suggested that, then it is probably the best solut...

need to find out maker of these speakers? any help
Tony1945 it looks to me like you answered your own question. The maker is 'these speakers'. 'these speakers' are the first known manufacterer of its kind. In making them they used hemp. They also said there was no hemp actually in the speaker. Go ... 
I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...
Jack Johnson? I got a cdr so I don't know which album it is but I really like it. If you are in that Van the Man camp I think you might like Jack Johnson. 
Who believes that Robert Plant
Are we talking about screamers? If not I think Muddy Waters has a pretty rockin voice. I can't say who is the best. A lot that has been mentioned are great. I am glad we have them all.
