Pass Labs x150.5 question
Yes, it will be fine 
Help define my listening room size for speakers
Based on the restrictions with sitting close to the speakers, and with limited space around the speakers relative to the back and side walls - that would be considered a small room.All of the speakers you mentioned are too big for your listening s... 
Disappointing Evening
Why would you assume they would care? 
Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question
Smhyde - at this point I wouldn't worry about it too much. Try a couple different things, just listen casually. If you can't easily tell the difference, just pick what looks best and focus your energy on cartridge setup. : ) 
Triplanar VII and Benz LP-S
Maybe try giving Tri a call instead? 
Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question
You got a great deal, congrats. Just as a FYI - the acrylic platters are designed to be used without a mat. 
ASR Mini Basis, Simaudio LP5.3 or Heed Quasar ?
I brought home a mini basis exclusive "just for fun" to try out, and it was so much better than my ps audio gcph that I had to drain my car audio fund to buy one.Very dynamic, clear and open while still being rich and full sounding. Highly recomme... 
Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question
$250 for a P25 with an exact? That table + cart would be around $1800 newThat table + cart is worth about $8-900 I would say, if you can get it for $750 you got a steal 
Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1
Based on your liking the VR4 JR I would say go for the SR. They will sound similar.The revels are more on the detailed/neutral side of things 
Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1
"They sound more musical."Unfortunately "musical" is about the most vague, subjective word that exists in audio.Can you define what "musical" means to you? Only then will people be able to make recommendations as to what they think you will like.T... 
Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1
The important question - why do you want to replace your N802? 
Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors
That room is too small for the C1 IMO. They really need quite a bit of space to integrate and perform up to their potential. The 11' dimension would prohibit this unfortunately.I had S1.4s in a 14 x 15' room and always felt that the room was quite... 
How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear??
Just an observation - there seems to be very little objective comparison in this thread.In other words, something like "I compared the Emotiva and the McIntosh 402 in the same system and found that even though X, Y and Z, the Emotiva Still did A, ... 
Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4
Ryder - well said, a different tonal balance for people with different preferences. I mentioned the the rock aspect since the original poster already has dynaudios, and may be used to the way they play heavier music. I missed the part of the origi... 
Best IC's for Velodyne DD series
Dialing in the settings on the sub a bit better, or spending some time with placement (RTA measurements) will improve things many many times more than any power cable would. Use the one it comes with, and put the money towards room acoustics.
