volume level and xlr
Shadorne,Although I am not technically savvy enough to understand the specifics of your answer, I think I get it generally. However, I would think that Simaudio has their amps and sources matched. 
I need help with my Equipment addiction
As much as I enjoy reading forums and occasionally posting a response, I recommend you taking a sabbatical from Audiogon for a period of time. How long? Depends on how long till you get that inner smile of contentment back while listening to your ... 
PSB Synchrony One's or Legacy Classic HD's
Ttowntony,Regarding your two-sub arrangement: what subs are you using? 
New Rotel 1572 or NAD 275BEE?
Good choice of the NAD over the Rotel. I listened to the Rotel at a dealer Saturday. Although it had plenty of power it lacked resolution to my ears. It was paired with Rotel's new preamp. In the looks department the Rotel wins, but that is all. 
Phono Input in the Musical Fidelity A5.5???
I have one thought about your question, apart from the phono stage consideration,but regarding your desire to "not get the upgrade bug so fast". If you want to go with Musical Fidelity- I have had four of their pieces in the past and think they ar... 
dynaudio c1 serial numbers
There should be a small red sticker on the rear of the black bottom of each speaker. 
Best bookshelf speakers under $1,000 for NAD amps?
I agree with Ltodd in his recommendation of the Paradigm Studio 20s. You may also consider the Studio 40s. I had a NAD/ Paradigm Studio 40 v.3 setup at one time. The Paradigms can tend toward a bright sound; a good match with the warm sounding NAD. 
$2500.00 to spend on int.amp and cd player
Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and A308 cd player. I have had this combination in the past along with Paradigm Studio 40 v3 speakers. It was a great combination. The A308 series components are built like tanks. I see there are some used on Audio... 
Plinius SA201 compared with the Plinius SA102
Preher,Out of curiosity, what is your next move after the C4s? 
What speakers match well with my Plinius 8200mk2?
When I had a Plinius 8200 MK2 I uesd Totem Model 1 signatures, Dynaudio Focus 140, and Contour 1.4. The Totems were musical and engaging but lacked fulness. I don't consider it a fault of the Plinius, that is simply the Model 1 sound. The Dyn 140s... 
Simaudio I-7 or Pass INT-150
The rest of my system is a Simaudio Supernova cd player and Dynaudio Contour 1.4 speakers. 
NAD C355 BEE - Connection Options
If you are interested in this option as a permanent arrangement you would be better off selling the c355bee and buying a used c272 power amp; almost twice the power and a much simpler set up. 
Has anyone heard the oskar heil line?
I bought a new pair of ESS amt 1a back in 1975. I had them for 28 years. I had to replace the woofer surrounds a couple of times. They were very enjoyable speakers. They weighed a lot for a "bookshelf" speaker. I wish I would have kept them 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Bob Dylan's "Together Through Life". It was just released today. I bought the vinyl/ cd combo; got home and car covered. 
Remastered Dylan New Morning Great - The Others?
I picked up the remastered New Morning a couple of weeks ago. Ditto on the "If Dogs Run Free". The remastered Basement Tapes is done very well also. The cover of The Basement Tapes is itself worth getting the vinyl.
