I own Shindo electronics. I've listened to the Montrachet extensively. I've heard most of the Audio Physics line up. I've never heard them together but I can't imagine them being good together.
I have Audio Physic Classic 30's. I played them with my MC275 tube amps in mono and my MC601 SS amps in mono. I prefer the way they sound with lots of SS power. Shindo are great amps but I don't believe they have enough power to drive AP speakers to their best.
Despite how things look on paper (I don't put the same kind of faith into specs as I once did), many of the first and second generation Audio Physic loudspeakers prove quite easy to drive.
For example, I've heard various systems using the Tempo and Virgo of this vintage with lower (8 - 30 wpc) power tube amplification. Most often, the results sounded stellar.
