Sideways move?

Go up in power. I had these and they really shine with high current, high damping amplifier. Best combo for me was Parasound after 60 watt pop tube amp. 

The Circle Labs A200 is a good choice for your Ardens and will give you power without compromising the sonics you're currently enjoying.

If you'd like to venture out into speakers instead, the Horning Hybrid Zeus or Aristotle are worth consideration and will be significantly easier to drive than your Tannoys.

The Hornings will probably sound marvelous with the Decware amplifier. These speakers are definitely an easier load to drive. A nice choice toward a different pathway, if so desired.

The Horning Hybrid Zeus looks really interesting.

The Circle Labs 200A, at $9000, looks like it is competitive, but reviews have been a little tepid. I hate buying based on reviews, but it's where we are.

I think I might just have to wait, save up, and then A/B a few things with the current system, with them hopefully allowing break-in or audition, and see what falls out. If I sell the Decware I want it to be a slam dunk.

Anyone with experience with the LTAz40+ or the Luxman 509X?

Thanks everyone,

From my experience with Decware, I say buy more efficient speakers. There is something about the sound of a Decware amp when it's properly matched to the speaker.
