Dynaudio C5 and Cary CAD-805 AE is possible?????
the C5 is the most difficult Dyn speaker to drive pretty much that they ever made. there is no way that a V70 is going to drive it correctly. the Confidence speaker he is referring to is from the 1990s, not related to current C1/C2/C4.

No. More like 400 watts are necessary 
Magico Q3 vs wilson sophia 3
Q3 should be compared to Wilson Sasha, not Sophia 3. Though Sashas seem pointless now that Sophia uses the same mid/tweet. a lot more money for a few more cycles of bass.... 
Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1
Vinw- what higher power amplifiers have you tried?Because all of my use with C1s directly contradicts your statements. 30 watts won't do it. I blew through 200 watts on a McIntosh. I had a 100 watt digital amp that got smoked by the C1s. I had 300... 
BAT at CES?
so no DAC or new integrated or something? 
Plinius Int 9200 or McIntosh 6600 for Dynaudio C1
McIntosh 6600 hit the power guard on C1s in my experience. BAT was the best match I found. 
Shindo preamp with Mcintosh MC252
most Mcs have low impedance, so doubtful this is a good match. 
Shindo Preamp - Home theater bypass
shindo is about as far away from home theater as one can imagine.they don't even have remote! 
McIntosh MC-1.2KW vs PASS XA-160.5 amps ??
at this level of performance, think a in room audition is required. sorry! 
B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ??
A McIntosh 6600 won't work on a C1---i tried it and it hit the power guards. 
B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ??
the C1 is not fatiguing at all. one must look to electronics if that is the case. 
Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2
Pass X250.5Krell 400cx 
Mystere CA 21 Preamp
i had the same question when i have seen the reviews---any remote? 
Rowland 625
So Jeff now thinks that Class A/B amps are the way to go? Has he completely moved on from his ICE powered amps of the last few years?How does this amp differ from the 10T 5 years back?I tried a pair of 201s in my system and they didn't work for me... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Also I might add---why isn't there any measurements of Synergistics cables on the website? Other manufacturers (Kimber, Cardas, off the top of my head) do and it is extremely helpful. I'm curious if their cables just jack up capacitance to extreme...
