Vitus sia 025 vs d'agostino momentum
After owning several excellent high end amps and now the momentum I would say that at this level another amp, in this case Vitus, might sound a little different but better is unlikely. Just different.. Would feel the same way if you reversed the q... 
Multi channel AMP for Home Theater
love my Krell Chorus 5ch amp very much. full class A with whisper quiet fans to help with heat. I also have an Agostino amp in my 2 channel system and the Krell would not be embarrassed at all 
Which Processor?
frankly if you are going to use a Krell Chorus amp the Foundation is the logical choice. I have the combination and find it outstanding. I never think about what else I should have considered.  
Krell technical support
auxinput. you definitely had a bad experience which would have deep sixed Krell for me. Maybe I got lucky but both times I hit 'technical support' a knowledgable guy came on the line. I needed two things for my foundation and had them in two days.... 
Shopping for new speakers
Put Revel 206's on your list. Trust an older audiophile that these greatly exceed their price class in refinement of sound coupled with great build and looks.  
Interconnects
AQ. Great selection. Great build quality. Great sound.  
Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition???
Well I'm an extremely picky audiophile and find the Revel 206 to be outstanding. Also my Salon 2's will compete with anything at their price point IMO..Some very weird opinions here bc one thing the Revels aren't is poorly designed and sound anyth... 
Search for miracle integrated
Good point on the FBI. A great choice  
Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32?
Huge Revel fan. Kevin V is a genius designer backed with big bucks for R&D. Don't think he's capable of designing a bad loudspeaker.  
Search for miracle integrated
I'd make every effort to find a used Dartzeel CTH 8550. You'd be set for many years. I can say with certainty that it will compete with virtually any audio gear out there. Herve the designer is a genius and fine gentleman. Check with Blue Light Au... 
Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell?
auxinput. I figured you were talking about the less expensive models. I don't know anything about them. 
Which Processor?
I own a Foundation and find that it provides true high end sound quality used with the Chorus 5200 amp. You won't be disappointed. The Classe units are good too.  
Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell?
Well I disagree with a prior comment concerning ' avoiding the Krell Phantom as being overpriced'. My personal experience is that it's a phenomenal pre with build quality and cosmetics commensurate with its price in this crazy audio world. Most of... 
Nordost break in expectations
what about the power cables? nordost actually says to start there. not intuitive to me. 
Nordost break in expectations
