Glen, thanks for the response and explanation. It's a CA-400 that I've found and well, it's probably overkill, although my Dahlquist DQ 10's (notoriously difficult to drive) have been paired with 500 watt amps (I think Hafler made one, originally). The room size is not overly large and I don't tend to listen at ear bleed levels, but the sound stage opens and the bass improves with increases in power.
My preamp is an EC Zana Deux:

while my sources are an MR 67, Meridian 508.24 and a Teac X1000r. I also have a Dual TT, but no pre, at this time.
I've been listening to SS for over 30 years. I like the ZD's welcome liquid flow and would like to translate that sound to my speakers.
Is it worth waiting out a CA-300 find or will I lose anything in purchasing a CA-400 (again, do not typically listen at loud volumes)?
Again, thanks!
John
