Krell KAV 2250 Great Amp or Good Amp ?
I have one and love it. I have it paired with a KAV-280P. I'm not sure how to describe the sound other than accurate, which is what I figure an amp should aspire to. That said, you may want to look at the Aragon 80008BB as well which is a great am... 
Classe CAP-2100 enough power for NHT 2.9s?
Classe and NHT have a nice synergy. I bet it'll work well. I had 3.3's powered by CA-200, Aragon, and Krell. Classe worked very well. 
Aragon 8008 bb vs. Krell KSA-150
The Aragon is a great amp and there's a pretty well documented synergy between ARC and the 8008BB. That's the way I'd go. Never heard the older Krell stuff but have owned both their newer stuff and Aragon. 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
Jack_dotson - you're so right. 2.4i's are the best speakers I've ever owned and, without specifically mentioning the others, some cost $15K. 
best subwoofer for less than $1000
How about a Velodyne HGS12 (look for make 2)? I use 2 in my music system and each can be had for around $900 used. Not the last word in sheer output but very nice for the price. 
Help me with this choice Paradigm, JM Lab, Sonus
I second the Energy Veritas line. I auditioned many of the speakers mentioned above and ended up with V2.4i's. Best choice for me up to $10K.... 
HELP One pair for $2k Recommendations Please
Klipsch and DT are not exactly the definition of "accurate". Furthermore, are you sure that 2 channel is truly more important to you than HT, because you've asked about 2 speakers much more suited to HT? 
HELP One pair for $2k Recommendations Please
Find a used pair of Energy Veritas 2.4i's. I've owned speakers that cost over 10K and these are better in almost every respect. 
Your pick of CD player....
Kehut!!! I just saw this thread and was going to suggest the Muse Model 9. I bought a non-sig version about 1 week ago and it's unbelievable. It's probably worth mentioning that it also holds it's own against the best DVD players available as well. 
Rotel RB-1090 v. Aragon 8008BB
I think you're wrong about the high end on the Aragon, but there's no substitute for actually listening yourself. Buy both used and sell the "loser"....easy for me to say, eh... 
Rotel RB-1090 v. Aragon 8008BB
Without addressing the possible synergy between two Rotel components, I'll suggest that the 8008BB is the better amp. Regardless of rating, the 8008 is going to be plenty powerful as well, it's way under-spec'd. I owned one for years and it's as g... 
Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3
Roy2001 - I used a 8008BB with great results on those speakers. That's a very powerful amp you have (more like 300wpc at 8) .If you truly want perceptibly more power than what you've got you're into Krell FPB-600 land. Maybe it's just a different ... 
Any Michael Buble fans here?
Somehow I knew that this was going to be polarizing. What can I say, I like the CD. The band and other artists (Chris Botti) that accompany him are very talented in their own right. 
Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs?
Yep - a Ferrari F430, even at 200K is MUCH more easily justifed than a box and drivers (any box and any drivers).Someone above mentioned a house they saw at $X amount which sold. I'll never argue that real estate pricing right now isn't overblown,... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Waldner - I'd add that inviting Hardesty to the factory doesn't address any of his points either, save for possibly demonstrating the time (and therefore "cost") which goes into the cabinet construction. The cabinet construction though is a means ...
