PS Audio GCC250 vs. Krell S-300i/400xi/300i
I am sure the S-300i is much better than the old model and weighs much more with the larger size transformer. I just had a demo from a store that was D.O.A. and would shut down with nothing connected so I never got an opinion of how it sounded. 
Name your lame duck artist........
Metallica has to be the most over rated and non deserving band. They were just really lucky and are the most over paid garage band in all of music. Slayer, Megadeth, Priest, Maiden can actually write and create worthy material. 
Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300?
I have to share my experience although there is a lot of good response to this I have lived owned the KSA-250, 300S and FPB 300. My first Krell amp was the 250 and I loved it but then thought newer was even better. I sold the 250 and bought the KS... 
Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet
I would also like to know if the classic would be a worth while upgrade from the scout with geinko vibration base? 
AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by ....
All I can say is the original PS Audio power plants gave my system that late night listening sense of ease any time I listened. It was night and day (no pun intended) and a regenerator of A/C is the only way to go vs. cleaning up "dirty" A/C power... 
HELP: Krell CAST and Balanced Inputs
My Krell amp doesn't have CAST inputs but I am sure you can only use one. The same goes for RCA vs. XLR, it's one or the other. A krell pre amp out is different and you can use both outputs with no problem, you can download your manual from Krell ...

PS Audio P1200 for my KSA300S amp and P600 for all source. I will not listen without them anymore, icing on the cake IMHO.

How to add a subwoofer to my system?
You can even add a smaller subs to right and left pre outs as Larryken stated. I added 2 small boston subs my cdm9nt's for some extra bass. 
What piece of music can you play over & over?
Billy Cobham "Warning" for reference of instruments and Jennifer Warnes "Famous Blue Raincoat" for vocals and instruments. I have refered to these often over the years. 
N805's vs N802's
Everyone has given some great advice to keep in mind and I will add to that of a 100WPC of class A power would probably be a minimum to consider. I was just using my Krell 300i as a substitute while my 300S was @ Krell for service. While the 300i ... 
N805's vs N802's
A lot depends on your room size. I am using the N802, HTM1 and 3 additional ASW-800 Matrix subs on C,R,L channels, you wouldn't beleive the amount of information they add. I use 2 other subs for front and rear LFE subs but my room is 28 X 14. I cr... 
Home Theatre Question
That is a good decision IMHO to only use 4 ceiling speakers for side and rear only. It would be nice if they could be from the same manufacturer to better voice them together. 
Sunfire Sub Headaches
Have you contacted them as you have a valid concern? I have an intermitant problem with a volume pod that cuts out on my Sunfire sub and have put off sending it for repair. 
Home Theatre Question
The speakers will be firing downward and although they will "work", they will lack placement and interaction with the room boundry to sound as real as could be. They will be out of the way and not affect appearance as much but I would have placed ...
