I have been surprised that you have not already pursued the Zarathustra for your multi-driver, sealed LF. From your early descriptions of both, this seemed like a natural pairing and the most likely way to go, to keep the drivers "off the cushion" and also just to handle all that mass.
As for the amorphous core trannies, why not put them everywhere? I think it is not just "the end sound" but they must also do something about controlling noise, or they do something that makes it sound like it.
If a DHT for MF only, what sounds better than a 45? I realize it does not meet all your listed criteria but the tube is special in terms of sonics and "immediacy", and as near as I can tell its usual problems result from improper application, eg, "FR".
I am eager to hear whether the doctored Placette works "significantly" better with typically-crummy electricity. (not to drift to "that" topic...)
