Dynaudio C4 speaker equipment matching
i've had Pass 250.5 on my Dyns as well and it works very, very well. MOSFET amps in general work better than bipolar transistors in my view, though ahven't tried the Krells which are a popular match with Dyns 
Dynaudio C4 speaker equipment matching
for cables, i've used Supras for years with Dyns and they are cheap and great as they are very neutral. you don't need to spend more---and i would never put a networked cable on a Dynaudio. they are used to tame bright speakers. and Dynaudio is de...

guys, no cable is going to solve his problems."I am looking for more dynamic's, increased depth in the sound stage and greater bass control."you need room treatment and proper placement. much better money spent than pricy cables that you are bound...

I had Sophias for several years, and always thought BAT sounded best with Wilsons in general.I did not have the Continuum, but the Concentra II which i didn't understand what all the fuss is about. I have owned the X250.5, which is marvelous---but...

Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2
btw, note Dyns need 3' or so from the back walls to sound best.good luck in your auditioning. 
Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4
i think the .5 series is a monumental improvement over the other. you with get the detail and bass impact that you are seeking.the older X series is pretty soft, i agree 
Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2
with 13' x 15', the C1 is your ideal speaker. it has bass down in the low 30s for you. try them out, several pairs on a'gon. if not enough, go further up the pipeline.but C4s are definitely out of the question for you---refer to stereophile review... 
BAT-VK31se or VK-50SE or LS17?
John- what didn't you like about the 32SE? Just curious. some have told me it beats the 51SE. 
Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary
i've owned bat and cary---very different sounds. depends on what you are after.bat wilil have better detail. cary will be warmer (almost a bit too warm for me, but i still love that preamp)
