BAT-VK31se or VK-50SE or LS17?
i had both---the 31SE clearly preferred. 
Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2
neither- save up for C4s if you want the floorstander. why buy a 2.5 way speaker. 
Simaudio I-7 or Pass INT-150
Sim and Dyn have a marketing agreement, hence why they are shown together. personally think the BAT is a better combination fwiw. 
Will ARC VT-100 drive Dynaudio C-1's
Casouza---i think most would disagree that VTL 450s or something similar would have a problem with current. this is a monitor after all---a single BAT 75SE i'm pretty sure has huge enough capacitors to supply all the current the C1 requires. tube ... 
Simaudio I-7 or Pass INT-150
i think the BAT really works well with my C1s...and its cheaper than either option 
Will ARC VT-100 drive Dynaudio C-1's
i think the C1s will work fine with VT100 in a mid sized room, though i'm not a huge fan of that particular tube amp.i would like to try VTL 450s on the C1 as well as Krell 400cx.i had the Pass X250.5 and it was a very good match for these speaker... 
Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4
i think a tube preamp/Krell amp would be match in heaven for C4s and i wanted to do exactly that (Cary 05/Krell 400cx) with my C1s.in the end i didn't want to spend the dough, so i use a BAT integrated, which is remarkably synergistic. 
Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4
I've never understood the Sim/Dyn relationship---its just a marketing relationship to these ears.Pass 250.5 was beautiful with my C1s. BAT ss would also work well.Dyns don't like bipolar amps in my view, although i would like to try Krell on them ... 
Experience with BAT-VK-75SE and Wilson Sophia2?
I had the Sophias and 75SE- best sound i ever had. used 31SE, then 51SE as preamp.the 250 is good (i auditioned both in same room at dealer), but the 75SE is leagues better. it has amazing bass response for a tube amp, and i never had problems in ... 
Jeff Rowland Continuum?
9000 for a digital integrated? seems overpriced to me.i also think a zillion people rushed into these things as "Jeff Rowland is so tubelike" and discovered the reality. 
Advice on a nice integrated is needed
love my BAT 300xSE, second time i've owned it in fact. 
Speaker match with Spectral?
Avalon is the "usual" match 
And the "Best" Dynaudio monitor is...?
on the cheap, 1.3SE. all the way up the line?---C1.i have owned both. 
Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's?
I thought Pass 250.5 was awesome on my C1s. highly recommended. 
What speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 2s ?
I used AZs (Hologram 2) with my 1s
