Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
Fredorama..Your thought process is all wrong.IMO, I agree with Tvad..Modded amps.NEVER!!..Resale is Sh*t,no service will touch it,chances are reliabilty goes down..Your money but thats just foolish.... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
I ran a X150.5 for a short time with C4s and it sounded really nice.Yes, when I ran a 350.5 it was more of a good thing..300 watts from the 150.5 is more than enough to drive those C1s where as the SA150 is only 180 watts into that 4 ohm load..Ano... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
I suggest a Pass Labs X150.5..300 watts into that 4 ohm load and Pass is by far the best SS match with Dynaudio,IMO 
Suggestion of Amplifier for Dynaudio Confidence C4
Ive run several amps with my C4s(tube and SS)...Pass labs would be my pick 
Cables for McIntosh Equipment
Ive tried lots of cables and found MIT to work best in my Mac powered system.I suggest using "all" MIT cables if you go that route as a mix-em-up approach doesnt seem to get the best results,IMO 
Slate under speakers?
Yes. I have my Dynaudio speakers on 1" thick granite slabs.Tightened up the base 
Dynaudio C1 with more impact
My room is 19-15-10..running C4s with a Rel sub...C1s are too small and not a speaker that will give you the slam with rock/metal..Move on to something bigger 
Wilson Sophias vs Avalon Indras
IMO, I found after listening to both they have more in common than differences..I never liked the W/P of any production but the Sophia2 as well as the new Sasha I would buy as well as the Indra..Either speaker is a winner!! 
Speakers for Simaudio
Two things..IMO you should never try to match a speaker to upstream gear,always buy speakers you like and match amps etc with it..Secondly ,the speaker/room interaction is one of the most important factors and sometimes overlooked..Your system wil... 
Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison
Give it a rest Dave_b! Please,its getting old...While Dave must be the spokes person for Magnepan,IMO I would venture to say most would agree the offerings from Magico are in a different league!!! 
Advice Needed - 3.7 vs. Dyn C2 vs. Ascendant
I never liked Thiel so my opinon is not really valid for you but..Id buy used and move up the line in Avalon(Indra) or Dynaudio(C4)which I have in same size room as yours.Also I would much rather have the Sophia 2 over the W/P8s any day as well..D... 
Pass labs x350.5 VS. McIntosh MC402
Ive owned both(currently the 402)..IMO, the Pass is a far superior amp and the customer service is in a league of its own.The 402 is slower,has less detail especially in the lower range(the blue meters look cool though,lol).Big mistake moving to M... 
Short List of the Best 20K Speakers
Your SQUARE room is as stated a big a tattertot..I own C4s and really like them alot..IMO you should add Avalon/Kharma/Wilson to that short list or consider the Salon II 
Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's
IMO, I agree with above on cables...you will be hard pressed to find a better monitor in that price range 
PASS LABS X250 vs X150.5
IMO,I agree with Samzx12..but for the Wilson I would go tube!!!
