What's your best 'Score'?
A one-owner pair of KLH Nine full-range electrostats for $500. Bought from HiFi Classics, Far Rockaway, NY. February 1992. Still working fine! 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
All a fuse does is protect against excess current draw. It is NOT part of the music signal. NO affect upon sound quality! Millercarbon - stop shilling for Synergistic Research and their questionable products!

Minimum HDMI cable length to avoid refection
1.5 meters!  
Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change.
Change for change's sake is ill-advised - and a stupid thing to do! 
Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change.

The OP has a superb system - and he's not happy! There is something more going on here than just sonic dissatisfaction! I suggest professional counseling!  
Who am I supporting?
Your dollars are in many cases going to the corporate owners of the copyrights for the music. Look at what Universal did Monday - bought Dylan's 600 song catalog! There's gold in dem dar hills! 
Bob Dylan sells his complete songwriting catalog!
Not to mention that 2016 Nobel Prize for literature!

The Bard of Hibbing is now officially the richest folk singer (don't call it rock-n-roll) in the world!
