JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Trance,IMO I think what was just said sums it up,if you want to "shake the walls" then JL is the choice hands down.If looking for seemless 2 channel, 1 Rel will do it.There is no need to run a pair,waste of money..B series or an older/larger model... 
JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
IMO,Rel works better with Dynaudio than JL.I tried a 112 with my C4s in the same room size.It wasnt as seemless as the Rel I have.For 2 channel Rel is your ticket with those speakers. 
Wilson Sophia 2 vs. Watt/Puppy 7
IMO,the Sophia2 would be the choice of the two .The W/P7 always sounded more like PA gear than home speakers to me.Overload on the bass and un-natural highs...but if it were me I would wait and buy a pair of Sophia 3s as Wilson changes quickly and... 
Any Jadis Defy 7 MKII experts out there?
Im no "expert" by no means but have owned a couple Defy7 amps.I would guess its the tubes,replace all them including the 12ax7s and make sure the new tubes are all matched(will be expense hence the reason Im no longer an owner).Also have the amp r... 
REL Strata III spikes
Mine had spikes and I found they improve on hardwoods 
Dynaudio Special One-Anyone heard/own these?
Yes ,you need a better amp.I bought that Carver at an auction a couple months ago then sold it quickly. Although its OK ,way to under powered to run those speakers.A Pass X150.5 would be a great fit if you can swing it, IMO. 
Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's
The Arcam integrated is junk,so bad my brother who worked for a dealer for years had so many returns they dropped the line.IMO, Naim would be good as well as Mac. 
Dynaudio c2 or c4 - need some help
Im running C4s in my 19-15 room with 9 foot ceilings..no issues with treatment..IMO, I would buy the C1s before the C2s any day of the week.The C2s are a lame duck,large cabinets with no real bass requiring a sub most of the time and resale on the... 
Need feedback on Sonus Faber Cremona M 's
Several years ago I owned a pair of SF monitors and auditioned the Ms about a year ago.After owning Avolons and a few others in that class since ,I found the Cremona M to be too polite for lack of a better term,lacking in detail and just pain bori... 
pass labs xa100.5 or pilinius sa 103
I have the C4s as well..Pass without a doubt.Much better match than the Plinius,IMO.You may want to addresd new speaker cables as well 
amp recommendation for Dynaudio Sapphire
Pass X250.5 or 350.5 but this is coming from a person who never like Levinson or Cary 
Mcintosh mc 252 or Odyssey Stratos Monos Extreme?
Why dont you buy used off this site..$3500-4000 low hours/minty..Cant imagine shipping would be more than 500.Blows away the 252 in all areas and im guessing in a short time youll be shopping for another amp if you go the 252 route! 
Mcintosh mc 252 or Odyssey Stratos Monos Extreme?
IMO and this is coming from a Mac owner, If you cant afford the 402 either wait until you can or look at the Pass X150.5.More power,better bass control,musical,plus the customer service is better.Never liked the 252! 
SA11 S2 SACD player. I'm listening to more CDs
I really wanted to like the SA-11S2 as the prices have come down on new to about 2 grand but just couldnt,found it uninvolving.Not in the same league as Esoteric or Ayre,just my opinion. 
45 degree placement in squarish room?
I tried that in a 14' square room,gave up and move the system into another and larger room.
