As a general comment I think they are relevant - and I we will friendly disagree on the sound quality of their tube amplifiers.
Again you refer to shows and anonymous models that I can not compare with those I named, I refer to my limited experience in my room and a good friend installations, who cared to expertly fine tune the system. At that time this friend was the Dynaudio distributor - much later I even bought from him my current Forsell turntable, based on great listening session we had in his very large room. I can add that in his system he also used the Consequence's with the more powerful VAC mono blocks.
Many solid state power amplifiers have high power but are not agile. Sometimes they need a good preamplifier to inject life in all this power, or are simply unable to have subjective dynamics. Another local friend had a curious mixed combination Dynaudio Contour4's - Electrocompaniet AW250 - ARC tube preamplfier. Very enjoyable, IMHO.
We are exposing preferences - I will always try to refer mostly to the positive experiences I had, giving some detail that I think can interest WBF readers. And yes, although only a few times, I had some exceptional listening sessions in shows.
You think comments on Mc tube amps relevant to the sound of Mc SS amps? Whatever...
I owned Contour 1.3 MkII and 1.8 Mk II models. A friend has their top fully active model (Focus 600 XD). Have heard at shows everything from 25 aniversary standmount to Evidence and Temptation and Confidence (big model) and latest Consequence design. In shops I have heard the original Confidence 5 and Contour 3.3. In another home I heard the Confidence 3 standmounts. I also had a pair of Madisound Dynaudio Kit (similar in sound to the Contour 1.3). In a studio, I heard large monitors (dual big woofers etc. not small at all). All have a similar character but a bit changed in degree. My wife could not understand how my friend could chose such horrible sounding speakers (Focus 600 XD) that cost so much (to her).
