Upgrade suggestions from BAT VK-300xSE
i ran a 300xse with my sophias...then stepped up to 31SE/75SE. whole different league at that point. 51SE was an even greater improvement.good luck! 
Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers
BAT 75SE was the best one i had on mine. 
My VR4SR MK2's.......now I get it
call me skeptical on a 6 month breakin--i would have returned them long before if they sounded badbut i'm glad you are happy! 
Amp suggestionsfor Wilson Watt Puppies/Sophia
BAT always is a winner. I had 75SE and 51SE.btw, for the record, Wilson uses a number of amplifiers for design purposes. 
New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones
i would vote for the Lamm 2.1 SET since you already have the MLs. i've heard the new VTLs on Wilsons several times and they really don't do it for me. 
Have Jeff Rowland Concentra II am I crazy...
i would sell the JRDG and just get a tube integrated.

B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's
Jmcgrogan2- have you heard the 803Ds?Cheers,KeithR 
B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's
I recently heard the 804S vs. the contour 5.4. B&W clearly was the better speaker---the first B&W i've liked.That said, the confidence series is another animal which i'd like ot audition (and i was hoping they had C1s there).KR 
Floor Standing under $1000 Polk vs Paradigm
I was really surprised how good the Polks were---a friend bought the $700/pair floorstanders and i thought totally outclassed the Paradigms---very coherant top to bottom which is unusual in a speaker of that budget 
Watt Puppy 6
They don't sound like the 8s at all in my opinion. 
Preamp: Cary versus BAT
the 2002 was supposed to be a better unit, so i upgraded---bad choice 
Preamp: Cary versus BAT
I think the SLP98 is superior to the 2002 (or the ugly black box that several of my friends called it). I actually sold the 2002 and rebought the 98. Bad "upgrade" 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
"How about this?....Jtinn says" It is better than the MBL 101e and all the kharmas line.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1165063432&read&keyw&zzevolution%20acoustics"who also owns part of the company in question...hmm.... 
Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ?
Clfcarney-You may not think of electronica as music, but there are folks in music who believe that to recreate this type of music is more difficult than large scale classical. I tend to agree. For instance, your orchestra only recreates what, 50 i...
