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.

Folks....I have some Ayre MX-R monoblocks...which of course are balanced...and in looking at improving the analog side of my system it has been suggested that I consider a Shindo preamp....the would be driving Rockport Meraks/Sheritan II and Wilson Watch Dog 2 sub....anyone have some experience or thoughts on this set up...the other pre amps I might consider are the VTL 7.5, Ref 3 and the upcoming Ayre KX-R...??

thanks in advance

Having gone through some various things...knowing what I seek...my end reference being 1/2 track recordings made on my tape machine....I think the Ayre's are keepers...again to me changing speakers just to gain more efficiency doesn't make much sense to me....most speakers are more efficient simply due by, for a given size, sacrificing low frequency extension...there being some laws of physics at work here...in spite of what some folks advocate....thus I wish to consider pre amp performance...not to tune stuff to fit certain pieces of gear...
