Jadis with Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 tubes
I agree..I never liked Tele tubes in my Jadis..I run 1950s Mullard 12ax7s and black plate RCAs with greater presentation..Well worth the price of admission.. 
Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4
IMO I would go with the X250.5 before I would buy an older 350..I have C4s and the 250.5 mates wonderfully..Im running a MC 402 at the moment but Pass is back in the headlights for me 
Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's?
Pdreher..No I didnt sell my C4s, I pulled the ad,I had a pair of Avalons picked out but they were sold from under me..Such is life..The market is too soft right now, the C4s are being hammered and sold well under market..No point in going backward...

Pass Labs X250.5!!!!

A 12x12 room is the absolute worst room you could start with..A square room is something to avoid like the plague,most if not all know that..I cant imagine having a house with a room 50' wide either... 
Rel Stadium ll vs Rel Strata lll
Strata3...stadium will overpower the room..and you will save $$$$$ 
Rel Stadium ll vs Rel Strata lll
IMO I have to agree with Goatwuss..Ive owned the strata3,storm3,stadium1..although Ive never owned the stadium3 the strata will give you faster bass..that would be my choice not given room size,gear etc 
Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout
Check out the rel site..Its been awhile but I think you simply connect to the same taps as the speakers following color codes and one goes to ground..simple 
Speaker connections: Spade vs. Banana Plus
IMO In a blind test you wont hear a diff..I dont 
Coldplay on Quad 988
IMO..I would never want or buy any gear that mask the quality (or lack of) in a recording..Makes no sense if you think about it.. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Just curious,..what about the Kharmas dont you like? 
Jadis DA30: fuse keeps blowing
Pierre Gabriel wont respond to your service request..I tried for over 2 years and never got anywhere...Jadis has a very poor customer service.. 
Coldplay on Quad 988
yep..Holds true to most current radio type bands/music.They call it appealing to the masses I believe.With my system maybe 90% if not more of my cd collection is now not worth playing..Thats what happens when you move up the chain in higher end au... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2.
I second the Avalons,although the 20T v2 are great, just too directional for my taste..Avalons are my next speakers..Enjoy
