Suggestion of Amplifier for Dynaudio Confidence C4
I use to have C4's and best amp I used with them was Gryphon Antileon (which I still have) 
Bass: Dynaudio Confidence C2 vs Contour S5.4
I've owned the Contour S5.4, C2 and C4. The bass on the C2 does go low but only if you feed them lots of power and turn the volume up past normal listening levels. At most listening levels I didn't think the C2 had enough bass. Save up for the C4 
Electronics for JM Lab Grade Utopia Be
Gryphon Antileon Signature or the mono blocks. I'm using a Gryphon Antileon with the JM Lab Nova Utopia and best match I've had so far. 
best loudspeakers for full Gryphon system
I've used Dynaudio C4 and JM Lab Nova Utopia BE with Gryphon Antileon (non signature). The Nova's sound amazing with the Gryphon, definately worth trying.... Good luck

Bedroom speakers
I've got a pair of JM Lab Nova Utopia Be in the bedroom :) but it's a big room. If it was just a bedroom I would use a bookshelf pair of Dynaudio's.

Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx
Wholly Molly, 27,000 break in time. I'm only up to 20 hours. Good idea having the tuner break them in. If I had someone else to help me move them I’d place them face to face and burn them in, but they're pretty heavy to move. And I think I’ve foun... 
Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx
Thanks, I've just started breaking them in. 10 hours down and counting. They sound amazing, even out of the box.Can anyone share their experience in breaking in the Nova or Alto? 
Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx
The Nova Utopia be arrived last night. I'm glad I paid two guys to take them upstairs. Let the fun begin. 
Dyns C4 owners: Question for you ?
not a problem, check your email. 
Dyns C4 owners: Question for you ?
I used Transparent Reference XL and got some magical sound staging that was so 3 dimensional. I then used MIT Oracle 2.1 and they had a wider soundstage (not as much depth) but they were new so needed a longer burn in. The MIT cables sounded 'clea... 
Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be?
The Sophia 2 is an amazing speaker. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. I'm now waiting for a pair of Focal Nova Utopia Be. I haven't heard Focal Electra 1037 be so can't comment....
