Absolutely Ebm.That was my actual plan. I wanted to surprise folks here. Get that speaker and a flea powered (less than 3 watts) tube amp that runs on battery, and get totally off the grid. But dang, you had to mention it :-)

Rich3549/Meadowman,The Ryan looks like normal sensitivity speakers. My current speakers are 88db at 6 ohms. The Ryans are 88 at 4 ohms. So might not suite in my system. Nevertheless, will try to audition them.

ATC scm40 or Spendor A9
What about D7 Vs SP series? What are your thoughts on these? 
Exogal Comet DAC
The Exogal seemed very interesting since it uses FPGAs. But converting DSD to PCM is a slight let down - at least on paper. Nevertheless it has received nice reviews. 
Quad 12L Classic
Make sure that the cables from amp go into the Low Frequency terminals. Then the jumpers from Low Frequency terminals into the High Frequency terminals. Let us know how it goes. 
Input sensitivity, Gain and Preamp matching
Pani,My experience is based ONLY on TVC and not other types of passives. But nevertheless, I would like to share.Your amp's sensitivity is actually very low. The way people would look at the sensitivity would be - if it requires less volts for ful... 
Is my preamp useless?
Atmasphere,I did look up that your firm manufacture tube preamps that do not require expensive cables or do not react to cable changes. Unfortunately I am not a tube guy. But lets not go there.So let us assume that I purchase this preamplifier. Wh...
