Packing home theater gear?
The only way to pack and ship them with insurance is to use a pack and ship place and have them pack it for you, it is expensive! I sold an old pair of B&W 802's (the original ones that are really 803's now) and think it was a couple hundred d... 
Powerconditioners for digital?
Pure Power, full regeneration with a battery backup, you can even unplug them and run solely from the battery! They are amazing! 
Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
I would add any of the Pirates of the Caribbean, all are amazingly well done sonically.

Krell Evo 402e vs Evo 400 mono and Evo 202/Phantom
I agree! Ran my Evo 403 and 403e with an ARC Ref 5 for music, then upped that to the Ref 40th Anniversary, great combo! 
3 channel sound
Meridian is one of the best sounding pre/pro's made. You should remember them Kal! They make some of the best pre/pro's f all time! 
3 channel sound

Best beer
I moved to New Zealand a few months back and the best beer I have found here is Yeastie Boys His Majesty's Ale. Beer is insanely expensive here though......

Krell does just tht but will do it for the original owner 
What to buy ???
