Krell Showcase Processor Voltage conversion
You are out of luck, I had exactly the same problem when I moved from the US to France. All newer Krell equipment (including the Showcase processor) has a voltage/frequency chip on the power supply. If you try to use a step down transformed to go ... 
Voltage Conversion
Are you moving from the US to a 50Hz country? If you are, there are two options. Simply have the Krell/ML agent in the country you are going to convert from 110V/60Hz to whatever 50Hz voltage you need (I know, horrendously expensive!). Or alternat... 
High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more
I don't think anyone has mentioned Avantgarde Acoustic horn loudpeakers yet? Avantgarde Trios have a specified efficiency (1Watt/1m) of >109 dB, beat that! I am sure someone will. 
voltage conversion
See my previous post on this subject. Simply use a step-down tansformer. 
Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps
I have a fully restored KSA-250. Krell charged me approximately $750 to do the restoration, mainly capacitor replacement. To my ears the KSA-250 sounds perfect. It will drive virtually any speaker to ridiculous levels and sound effortless. Compare... 
How do I use Casa Nova analog inputs for HT?
I am not sure I understand the question and above replies. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) Jaidog will be using a Blu-ray player (DVD players can't decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio) and have the Blu-ray player pass the decoded 5.1, ...

Must see mini film on Audiophile Club of Athens...
Thanks Cmalak for sharing this, very enjoyable. I occasionally thought I was occasionally going OTT in pursuit of our hobby, not any more though! Amazing display of sincere love for our hobby by the Audiophile Club Of Athens. 
bose acoustimass 10
I have a high end HT system (Sony FP, Krell amplifiers and B&W Nautilus speakers) and a modest plasma TV system with the Acoustimass 10 system. No, the two systems are not comparable. But, for the money the Bose system is just fine to watch mo... 
Volume display for Krell hts 7.1
I do not think you can do this with the HTS 7.1. 
Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
Bob Marley, Exodus on MFSL gold CD (if you can find one) is superb! 
Plugs for Nautilus 801s
Try contacting B&W USA directly. I have found them very helpful in the past (I own; 801N, 805N, HTM1 and an 850N subwoofer). 
Voltage convert Krell KAV500
I don't think you can easily. Inside the newer Krell units is a voltage/frequency sensing chip (I believe Martin Logan and other high end vendors also do this, to protect their high priced markets in Europe etc.). If you try to use a 120V/60Hz uni... 
QUAD FM4 - bought in Europe, can I use it un US?
Correct, nothing else needs changing. 
QUAD FM4 - bought in Europe, can I use it un US?
I moved from the UK to NA 25 years ago, with my QUAD FM4/44/405 system. Yes, the FM4 will work fine here. However, the FM de-emphasis in NA is different to that in Europe, 75µS in NA versus 50µS for most of the world. Consequently a European tuner...
