Adding Esoteric G-03X Clock to X03-SE cd player
IMO, I agree with Audiofel..If your dissatisfied with the 03SE and what your hearing then I suggest looking at all the other components in your system first. 
Mapleshade bedrock stands for large monitors
I agree with Stanwal..I used mapleshade platforms and sold them quickly 
Dynaudio C4 vs B&W 802D
Oh, so now cables...Ive tried alot and IMO Cardas is a good choice but you need to go up as high as you can on the line.Runs a little on the colored side .Im running MIT and like it alot. Stay away from cables that are lean like Nordost.I would su... 
Speaker footers – Ugh
As stated, I had the Mapleshade platforms and brass with my Dynaudios.Didnt really care for it,sound was smeared and the added height threw everything off.I went to a company that cuts markers for grave yards and they cut me from scrap 2 24" squar... 
Speaker footers – Ugh
I had cut 1" granite slabs for my floor standers over a hardwood floor..much better results than the mapleshade platforms which I then sold,much cheaper as well. 
speakers close to the back wall ?
I agree with Stanwal..Dynaudio ships plugs for their ported speakers..try that first 
Thiel 3.7 vs Dynaudio C4
"To give a general rule of thumb though when comparing the two the Dynaudio house sound is more romantic and makes everything sound good. Thiel's generally have a more detailed presentation and give you EXACTLY what is on the cd. Thiel speakers al... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Dynaudio C4
IMO, I agree with both of you..The C2 lacks alot in a speaker and im guessing most would either buy the C1s and add a sub or spend more for the C4s.The Sapphire is where you should look if comparing speakers in the same price range,and my vote goe... 
Dynaudio C4 vs B&W 802D
IMO, 2 totally different speakers so the choise should be easier than if they were similar.Ive listened to the 802D numerous times at different dealers over the past few years.To me they are slow and bloated in the bass with a very unnatural tweet... 
Anyone using McIntosh with Vandersteen Quatros
Ive never had your speakers but own a Mac amp.I borrowed some anti-cables once just out of curiousity ,IMO straight wire from Lowes worked out about the same.So I would suggest dumping those and going with a better quality cable for starters..As f... 
Cary SLP05 vs. Audio Research LS-26
IMO, The Cary SLP-05 is a great preamp. Thats coming from an ex-owner of 2 different Cary amps that I had issues with,both repaired but still a drag to ship and down time etc.Ive never heard the LS-26 but really like the Ref3.If you like the AR so... 
Best speakers for about $3500
IMO ,If your thinking monitors skip the Wilson cub IIs and buy the Dynaudio C1s..3500 should buy a pair or close to it 
Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire
I auditioned the saphires at lenght a few times..sounded more like the Contour line(5.4) to me than the Confidence line so I passed on those and bought the C4s..Have you heard them? 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
IMO I would wait for the right deal on a X150.5..there is a reason why "It is fairly easy to pick up a used X250" 
Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire
Im just curious ,what are your first impressions of the Saphires now that you own them
