Wilson Sophia 3
IMO, I agree and diagree with J63..Wilsons are well documented for having finish issues.They also update or replace their line rather quickly compared to others ie Dynaudio which always hits the pocket books of those who own them.If it was my deal... 
small room... tube amp... summer
I had the same issues.Pretty simple, sell the tube amp and go with a nice SS amp.You will also save $$ not having to buy those expensive tubes 
Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be
Of those 3 manufactures and Ive owned Focal uptoias along all 3 makers of tube amps I would buy Jadis..None of the models you selected/ but given the really small list thats where I would go.Now if you want to expand the list there are better options 
Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo?
Ive owned a JPL for over 15 years and IMO the American black plate RCA 12AX7 from the 1950s sound the best..Tele tubes are too sterile (again IMO) and the prices are ridiculous.1950s Raytheon are nice as well and a little cheaper. The 1950s Mullar... 
Dynaudio Confidence C2 or Focus 360 ?
Kind of strange selection there.Havent heard the Focus line and probably never will(no real desire),the 3.4s are OK but much better speakers out there at that price point..and the C2s I wouldnt want(they seem to be the oddball speaker in the confi... 
Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra?
Ya get what ya pay for(most of the time).Its an entry level cable and it sounded that way in my system..If it works for you ,great!Im happy for you..I would never recommend that cable reguardless of the price point, especially from his Hovland pre... 
Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra?
IMO, I agree with Griggs..I ran it for a short time until I had $$ , its an entry level cable @ $75 bucks new on ebay .Would only buy if money is a real issue. 
Dynaudio C2 or S5.4 ?
Ive seen C2s on this site at $5500.00 without takers 
Dynaudio C2 or S5.4 ?
"Do you think S5.4 is for home theatre system while C2 is a truly reference 2 channel stereo loudspeakers?" I never thought of it that way and Im sure those who own 5.4s would argue that but I tend to agree with that more than disagree if compari... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
Do yourself a favor and add the Pass X150.5 to that short list..Pass and Dynaudio are a match in heaven.Same $$,more power 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
Appears your trying to convince us your mindset is correct even though most disagree with it.Buy the mod amp and get back to us when ya sell it or need service.Personally I tend to follow advise from those who have hands on experience with what I ... 
Dynaudio C2 or S5.4 ?
IMO, the Confidence line is far superior.But saying that I would buy either C4s or C1s with sub.I dont like the 5.4s at all/too tubby for me.The C2s are nice but will need a sub so whats the point.Again a Dynaudio owners opinion only.. 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
Fredorama..Your thought process is all wrong.IMO, I agree with Tvad..Modded amps.NEVER!!..Resale is Sh*t,no service will touch it,chances are reliabilty goes down..Your money but thats just foolish.... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
I ran a X150.5 for a short time with C4s and it sounded really nice.Yes, when I ran a 350.5 it was more of a good thing..300 watts from the 150.5 is more than enough to drive those C1s where as the SA150 is only 180 watts into that 4 ohm load..Ano... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
I suggest a Pass Labs X150.5..300 watts into that 4 ohm load and Pass is by far the best SS match with Dynaudio,IMO
