Shindo and synergistic components

I know many Shindo enthusiasts are in for the whole system - pre/amp/speakers. But for those with just a preamp from Shindo, what amps are you using with it? I'm particularly interested in higher power amplifiers (ie 60wpc +).

Or if there are owners of the Shindo Sinhonias (40wpc I think) - what speakers are you using?

I'm considering their pre amps, but their power amps may be a touch short of the power I'd like to have, so I'm exploring synergistic high power amp matches with the Shindos. The preamps being considered are the Monbrison or the Masseto.

Cheers

I have just discovered this very interesting thread.
Now it is 11 years old, and the market changed a lot.
Now there are many newer speakers like Zu Audio, Living Voice, Blumenhofer, but also the Verity Audio Leonore, designed for smaller tube amps.
Shindo made some new amps, too.

Hatari, do you still have the system you have described here? What is you long time experience on it? Or did you changed it? What is new? Why? What does it better or in a different way?

Now I stepwise complete my Shindo system from the source on, had a Platine and Nouvelle Verdier for a long time, a Shindo Meursault and SPU with A23 Hommage T1 as well, and just purchased a Giscours.
The next steps will be an amp and speakers, but I don't know which way I should go. Modern speakers, Altec horns, single driver units, all of these have their weaknesses...
Until now I listen with an active studio main monitor, a big three way, neutral, very detailed and correct speaker, even this is a good match with the Giscours, but I would like to try the "whole Shindo magic".

Thanks for any input, advice and information, or just your subjective experience.
