Speakers Suggession for Bryston 3B
Thiel is too tough, Gershman is too bass-less.Medowlark choice is good.Add Totem Forest that I own right now and they're great match for 3b-st. 
Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money......
Sean I realy love to see everything in numbers.Let's take 20m of Alpha-core the high-capacitance wire or interconnect. Let's assume that such high-capacitance wire has 50pf/m(I think it's large enough) that will overall give a capacitance of 800pf... 
Best Integrated amp for under 4k
Plinius 8200MK2. Not sure what your speakers but it bests with heavy loads such as Thiel or JM-lab. Used one is sold for less than $2k and will give you more room for speakers or even analogue since it has a phono. 
OTL amplifiers
I was realy speaking in general terms of OTL designes. In particular the protection and auto-bias circuits are implemented either using tubes or transistors depending on model. Amps that are pure tube-OTL with all implemented protection basically ...

OTL amplifiers
Said simply in general--OTL-s give out full power only at specific optimal load. If load drops they loose the power so the bass is weak weak weak. If impedance goes up the output peak power increases to the point that it might damage speaker. Prob...

If you reform your idea toward headphones than for $1,000 you can achieve something not acheivable even with 10x spendings for speakers and amps.Here is the simple system:-->>>AKG K501 $250 new-->>>Headroom Supreme $449 new-->...

how to convert sunfire tube pre to 220V operation?
Bring the unit to your local tech and 99% he will be able to switch wires for 220Voperation for much less than dealers would charge to you.Vast majority of power trannies in components are already pre-designed for 220V and it's a matter of few min...

Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money......
Sean,I thought always that speaker is inductive load...The inductive roll-off of offered speaker wire is within mid-tens of micro-ohms for ten meters.
