Jeffrey,This pursuit is a journey and for me it is close to the end. I could not have afforded the Shindo gear unless I sold a lot of the gear and tubes I accumulated over the last 13 years. What I have is not the best there is but is the best sound I have ever had at home. The Wright 3.5 is well regarded and if you keep it do consider a preamp from George to. There is synergy there that you may not get with something else. Been there too. I forgot where I read it but the Druids may not be 101db and a 45 may not be enough power. My speakers are 97/98 db and while the 45 sounded captivating it did run out of gas at higher listening levels. The real point is that while each DHT is a bit different a properly designed and implemented amp makes a bigger difference that the power tube. If I were close I'd go to In Living Stereo or Perfect Pitch Audio just to see and hear what is possible. In SW Florida we a lot more alligators than audio dealers. Have fun and don't go nuts or broke.
