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've got my Monbrison with a Leak Stereo 20 power amp and Quad ESLs. Totally synergistic.

Lokie,
How do you like the Living Voice speakers and how do you have them set up{ ie positioning?}

I'm guessing your Mahi Mahi are not balanced (or have both). Any thoughts as to how they would mate with a balanced design?

Lokie: did you have the chance to try the Shindo on your system, or did you do it on spec?

Cheers

I have a Monbrisson with the following components:
Manley Mahi Mahi Monoblocks and Living Voice Avatar IBX speakers. I am very pleased with the Monbrisson and think it is the best bang for the buck in the Shindo line up. The real value is in the wonderful phono stage it has and if you can live without a remote, I highly reccomend it. Besides the normal concerns with matching amps and preamps, I think Shindo pres would play nicely with most amps.

It's probably not general knowledge yet but Shindo has a new high power amp coming out(could already be out). I've seen pictures of it and I think Jonathan Halpern at Tone Imports has one in New York. The amp is based on a KT88. Try contacting Jonathan for details.
