That would be the cable. I think you'll be pleased with the results. There really is no need to spend more. Ralph will tell you the same thing. 
Full-range/horn loaded on a budget?
The original TL-D1's came with a basic finish. Nothing special, does show some flaws, but overall they look decent. You could have special ordered them with a premium finish, I think birds-eye maple was a popular one, and those looked quite nice. ... 
Full-range/horn loaded on a budget?
Don't underestimate Duke. My Jazz Modules might not have the finest finish, but IMO they offer up some of the finest sound out there. As an FYI, the TL-D1's I have don't offer the best finish either.

Are the TL-D1's full range horns? I own them and they have a full range driver with a super tweeter, but I never considered it a horn design. On the other hand they are fine speakers. 
$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?
...going "backwards" has a certain appeal to me.In my experience it's certainly been a lot more fun too. 
$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?
I think pretty highly of the Herron combo that I've heard at recent audio shows. Several years back I auditioned the original Herron preamp in my home and thought it was quite good. Very transparent and I still can sense through the subsequent ite...

Yes it would help. 
Electra Print 300B amplifier - Help
Jack primarily uses the Sovtek tubes. So a Sovtek 300B should suffice. I live near Jack and just came from his shop as we're working on some things together. I'll print this off and call him to see if I can get him to be more specific about what y... 
Cables for high efficiency speakers?
OCOS and Supra Ply 3/4 are two that I would recommend. I use a 5.5m run with both 92db and 95 db speakers that have a smooth impedance curve. These cables work fine and won't break the bank.
