Hi Jim,I own Don Garber's Fi 45 (the prototype) and have had his X, 421A and 2A3 monoblocks here as well as a bunch of other SETs including a pair of JC Morrison's 6B4G monoblocks. I also happen to own the Shindo Cortese. Oh yea, and I know the guys at In Living Stereo. Granted, I didn't know them back when some of them were building their own SETs or when they were selling Komuro’s amps, but long enough to know your colorful characterization misses the mark. By a very long shot.
It is interesting though how little credit we give people who've worked in this industry for decades…
Anyway, that's a very generous offer you've made and I'll echo yours and the others recommendation - you have to hear things for yourself. Ideally with your own speakers. I'd also suggest Jeffrey shoot Srajan an email since he owned the Zu Druids and owns the Zu Definitions and has used a bunch of amps with them (srajan@6moons.com) including the Yamamoto A08S.
It seems to me having a 45-based amp driving the Zu Druids (sans sub) in a 35 x 14 x 12 room is an awfully tall order.
Cheers,
Michael
