Need B&W match for Krell KAV300i amp
I had B&W 802 III with the 300i and 250cd and it was great. If you are looking at the latest B&W's, I would consider the CDM-9NT or 805N with possibly a sub later. 
Rock and Roll System
I agree with 2001impala in that my Krell syetem with B&W 801 III w/North Creek and 2 front B&W ASW800's kicks ass but will play anything very convincingly. I would hate to be limited by listening material on my system. You would be a canid... 
What Headphones? Looking to upgrade..........
Check out www.head-fi.com for forums on headphones and amps. I used Grado 325's for 8 years until now liking the 600's better (less glare) along with a new Headroom Cosmic. 
What is the name of your system.
I usually refer to it as "the reference system" or "the Krell". I am sure my wife thinks of it as "the money pit" or "the boat" since I could only afford one. Sometimes we refer to the room it is in like they say "the Theater" but I say "the liste... 
Christmas music
I like the GRP Christmas Collection Volume 1 (GRD-9574), 2 (GRD-9650), 3 (GRD-9728). The artists on the GRP label are excellent musicians and it is great for the audiophile.Happy listening and Merry Christmas!!!! 
How BIG is yours?
I have been collecting most every artist new and old in jazz, rock and heavy metal. Some for audiophile interests but mostly for musical talents. I have 2000+ Cd's and about 600 LP's. I sold alot of vinyl lately because of the time and convienence... 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
Great advice from Reubent, but I would try and stay with some more sought after companies also if resale is to be an option if you don't care for them. I would have to add B&W to the list for your styles of music. They play everything from hea... 
Speaker length vs. I/C length
6 to 8 are not too bad, but yes it is better to send a longer IC rather than drive current over long lengths. 
Which subs are best for home theater?
I use 2 ASW-800's in the front chanels as subs and one in center to make a full range center chanel. I also use two BAG END infra sub 18's in the rear with life like results and I never find it overpowering. My dedicated theater/listening room is ... 
Krell KAV-250a/3 or Proceed HPA3
I love both of my 250a/3's driving my B&W matrix series home theater. B&W & Krell has a great mating capability. 
Where to start? sonically balanced system ..???
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of "Guide to High End Audio" by Bob Harley. It is a fairly popular book among audio wackos. Also, try auditioning and listening to as many different combinations as possible, ie. dealer demos, friends systems... 
Krell AVS future ?
This is all really ashame being DAC's or HTP's because I assumed that now when you spend the big bucks that the support will follow. This is a tough pill to swallow because like Drrdiamond I also had contacted Krell about upgrades for HDCD to my s... 
will a ps audio 600 power a krell kav 250 and ead tm 500?
Sean is correct, and I was not noticing the EAD TM 500 also as a 5 channel amp to be powered off a single P600. That is why I also am stating that I have a P1200 to assist a P600. I will note that I run a Pioneer 710 HDTV with my 300S on the P1200... 
will a ps audio 600 power a krell kav 250 and ead tm 500?
I have a Krell 300S into a P1200 @ 220V, and 2-250a/3's into a P600 for surround channels only. My surrounds are not pushed as hard as a front 2 channel. Of course I can trip the power on either one, but if I listened at that level I might as well... 
Best SS Integrateds for a 4-500 budget
Musical Fidelity A-1 or the newer A-2 are very musical amps.Build quality and design are also exceptional.
