B&W 802 N vs. D
Bombaywalla ..We all know that the 802 needs power,old old news,,After reading your post or review maybe you should take your own advise and stop "mouthing off" 
Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000?
I agree..Speakers first/then the amps to compliment them.If your thinking of changing speakers do that first.If you choose the C4s( which I currently have) I would strongly suggest Pass labs X.5 series.I would also cross off the studio 2 on that s...

Pass X 150 and X150.5 differences please.
I owned both at different times..The X150 for a very short time.Sounded too SS and lacked overall involvement for me.In short, too sterile,IMO..The X150.5 however I really enjoyed,Greater detail,wider soundstage with less of a sterile SS sound...I...

"I could not justify spending $100,000 + more on any other speaker brand period. IMO it is not possible to improve on the sound performance you get from the 802d in a significant/real world listing experience. "100+ grand???LOL, where do you shop!... 
What is my power conditioner up to?
Plug the amps directly into the wall/better if you have a dedicated circuit of course...most I know use this approach

Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated

Which speaker for 30 watts amplification at $1000?
Buy the speakers you like,then match an amp to it 
SS Preamp with Tube Amp?
Nsgarch IMO your wrong..Ive never know anyone that thinks "85% or more" of the system is the amp/speaker and the remaining 15% or less is the source/ pre-amp/cable/room treatment/power,thats just silly..My tube pre is the heart of my system..
