Dynaudio C1 with more impact
The C1's have a 3" voice coil and they use aluminum wire which is extremely light in weight. Therefore they are very 'fast' and natural sounding to me when compared to the traditional driver. I power my C1's with a Bryston B100. At moderate listen... 
single ended to balanced
Personally I would think there would be no benefit other than the output from balanced is greater than single ended. That being said we are talking about headphones (ear speakers) which I don't think it has any balanced circuitry to take advantage... 
Bryston B-100 question
Yes the B100 is a bp16 pre and 2bsst in 1 box. 
Bryston B-100 question
Bring your B&W's to the dealer if they have one at the store. It won't be the same as your home but at least you can get an idea of the sound. Another option if they do not do in home demos ask about a satisfaction guarantee - something like i... 
Considering a move to Exposure or Naim
When I heard the Naim combo you are considering it was used to drive the Dynaudio Sapphires. I was blown away with the overall sound. Very musical especially for the money. For me that combo really got my toes tapping and head bobbing. As far as t... 
Bryston B-100 question
I drive Dynaudio C1's with my B-100 which to me sounds great but I would like more power only for higher listening levels. Although the Dyns are great the really shine with lots of current.If possible try to demo it with thw B&W's 
Will using bothA and B spkr out half amps power?
Because the speakers are in parallel the impedance drops which increases power. Be careful your impedance doesn't drop too low because of that especially at high volumes. 
The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver
Chalk up another vote for black. Personally I don't want my equipment to 'stick out like a sore thumb'. I do like silver but just not in my house. 
SC's and IC's for Dynaudio C1 and JR Continuum 500
I have a Bryston B100 with the C1's and it did take a very long time to decide on my speaker cables but I did choose the Nordost Frey. At first listen I thought they were 'thin' sounding but after several weeks I realized I really heard the 'air' ... 
Speaker cables where to begin?
Maddoggy brings up a great point. Don't always think a higher cost means better. Try to demo any potential replacement cable in your home on your system to see if it is worth the cost to you. 
Improving on the Sonata IIIs, which speakers?
I don’t like the thought of losing the Esotar II tweeterHave you considered anything in the dynaudio lineup since they manufacture the tweeter? My room is about the same size as yours and I love the Dyn C1's with my sub. 
Difference between Marantz CC4001 & CC4003??

Keeping Out Street Noise / Sound-Reducing Windows
Loewen window specs look good but I would see about replacing the argon gas with krypton gas. Argon gas is 20% denser than air and krypton is 90% denser than air. I replaced my windows 3 years ago with Great Lakes Uniframe Maxuus 10. They are trip... 
Kef 200c right tweeter is silent, how to fix it?
Check the wiring on that tweeter. If not soldered because of the dampness some corrosion may have occured. 
Speaker suggestions
Check the Dynaudio lineup. Either contour or used confidence.
