Theoretically better to connect my subwoofer from preamp out, or from outputs on my amps?
Cable has resistance, inductance and capacitance. IF you want the mains input and the sub input seeing the same signal at the same time,  theoretically you should use same cables with same length to feed the mains and sub from preamp outputs.  
5.1 or 7.1 AV Receiver that allows Surround to Switch to Zone 2?
You can use a a/b switcher connect AV receiver zone2 and surround channel output to kitchen speakers input.  
Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover
You will note in the picture is the infamous pink mystery cap that prompted the start of this thread, which has since measured at 2.25mF. I’d be curious if there is anyone out there who can tell me that the color code matches my measurement.The ca... 
Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover
Correct me if I’m wrong, 2.25mfd, 1mfd parallel = 3.25mfd 3.25mdf, 10mfd in series = 2.453mfd 2.453mfd, 0.47mfd parallel = 2.923mfd 3mfd should be close enough, and I guess the 0.47mfd is not an electrolytic and has low ESR.  
Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover
@timlub The OP ask why so many caps, isn’t those four caps equal to 3uf in value? I mean the four caps on the left of 0.35mH inductor in his schematic! 
Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover
it seems to have a lot of caps for a two way crossover (8 in five styles), plus 2 resistors and 3 coils. Modern designs I have looked at typically have two or three caps for 2 two way crossover. According to your schematic, seems like you can use ... 
Accuphase E-480
@foolishman, Congratulations! Please let us know the jumper settings for 120V, maybe a close up picture will be nice, it will help other members if they need to do voltage conversion. Thank you in advance!  
NAD and Spade Terminals
It end up with spade to banana adapter. 
Subwoofer out
A pair of Harrison Labs FMOD RCA Inline Low Pass Crossover should work. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61i5NiPOviL._AC_SY355_.jpg If you need to feed the subwoofer amplifier from your radio speaker output, add a LOC. https://m.m... 
Accuphase E-480
I don't have any experience on E480 voltage conversion, however, based on previous experience, brown & red wires are 100v windings, and orange & yellow are 120v windings. You need to trace the circuit to connect jumpers for orange &...

Beovox HT 5000 schematic
I believe the schematic on page 7 is the one, the tweeter cap 47uF is an error, the correct value should be 4.7uF and make sense.

Amp to drive Revel 228Be and have some fun (ideally with HT bypass)
Coda CSiB, basically is a Continuum 8 power amp and 05x line stage in a single chassis. Comes with three configurations: V3: 400W into 8 Ohms, 800W 4 Ohms, Class A up to 8 Watts V2: 250W into 8 Ohms, 500W 4 Ohms, Class A up to 12 Watts V1: 150W ... 
Best integrated for my purposes - help me choose 1 of 3!
For most transistor power amp, a speaker switcher is safe. If using a speaker switcher on tube amp, a dummy loading resistor will be required on most output transformer coupled tube power amp.
