Which Cardas did you have ? What was the sonic difference between Cardas and Supra ? 
KCI Silkworm+ VS Gabriel Gold interconnects
Look at Fusion Audio Romance IC. They too have a gold version. I currently use their copper version and I do not see myself upgrading ICs for a long long time. They do everything you are asking for and much more in terms of tone and body. 
Class A watts vs Class A/B watts
You want everything ? Look at this:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1283637910&/Symphonic-Line-Kraft-250-Dual-For many audiophiles they are the last amp. 
Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5
I do not understand how you can buy these amps in under $2500, but I am guessing you would be going the used route. In that case try to find a Symphonic Line RG1 MK4, it will probably end your search for a power amp for a long time to come (till y...

I would also like to add, Harbeths are not very revealing, they are just a bit bright which makes them sound illuminated in comparison to the likes of Spendor and Dyns. The reason I say this is because the company themselves suggest that their spe... 
How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1
Having owned 3 different Dynaudios including their studio monitor BM6 and listening to almost all their speakers in different demo rooms (excluding the Master and Consequence), it was clear that 1.3SE was their best monitor this side of C1. It was...

Yes, they were 3 year old. The fact that they were SHL5 which is one of the best Harbeths left no doubt on my mind that they are what they are.

I have heard metal domes in many speakers like the Epos M12.2, Thiel, Monitor Audio...even though I prefer a silk dome any day, these speakers with metal domes do not sound analytical to me, they do sound bright and a tad hifi-sh though. I somehow...

Yes, Spendors were far better, they did sound musical, what it is touted for. May be this gives a clue where I am coming from. Since I was upgrading from a Dynaudio which was a fair bit more neutral than the Spendors, I could not convince myself t...

I don't think that explains the discrepancy as most Harbeth users do seem to be using SS and "musical" does seem to be the most common phrase used to describer them Thats exactly why it was on the top of my shortlist when I was upgrading from my ... 
experience/opinions re: Eminent Tech LFT-16?
They are good, but can sound hot and one needs to set it up with a lot of care to get a focused image. Overall a nice speaker

Analytical is not always revealing, it is a sound which has such kind of distortions that it does not sound like music but just sound. Some may also call it "dry", which I did find in the Harbeths but along with the dryness it had a presentation w... 
Which purist interconnect??
Fusion Audio Romance IC1.For quite a few this has become the last interconnect upgrade, having tried it out in my system, I can see myself going in that direction. While I know what its flaws are, I would still call it flawless simply because I ra...

music lover speakers = Harbeth, Spendorsaudiophile speakers = wilson audio, magico, DynaudioSpendor, Yes but Harbeth ? Not at all. Harbeths are both extremely colored and analytical, thats a rare combination. It is colored on the thick/fat side to...
