b&w 802 n to what speaker
Have you by chance considered a used Wilson Watt Puppy 7/8 or the newer Wilson Sophia 3s ? 
EAR 324 or EAR 88PB
I heard the 324 at a dealer place & felt it was a very good phono pre-amp.I liked the flexibility. Its everything one could want for however I wish it had that tube bloom in the midrange.I haven't heard the 88pb.But the 324 betters the 834p in... 
VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE
Have you also considered the TW Acustic Raven One ? These are also better to me than the Michelle tables. 
New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
I wonder how the WP7 or WP8s compare to the new Sophia 3s ? 
Amp for Harbeth 7ES3
These speakers are not fuzzy, so anything sounds great with them.LFD Zero LE, Luxman, Accuphase int amps sounds great with these speakers.' 
Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010
It would be good to know what speakers you are using. Without knowing this factor it would be difficult to make a recommendation.However, having heard both, I would go with the Vitus!!Small wattage as it may be but it has more body, bloom and soph... 
Choosing between ATC or Emerald Physics
If you have the amplifier muscle for the ATCs, by all means, the ATC gets my vote.Very good sounding speakers... 
Harbeth SHL5

New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
Ricred, Madflod- best to stick w/ S3s then.... thanks. 
Amp for the Wilson Sophia3s
I have heard at my dealer the Sophia 3s driven w/ the Luxman 100watter int amp. Its sound mighty fine! However, the Sophia3s are not that choosy of amps. Anything will sound good with them. Kudos to Wilson Audio. 
New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
Definitely you cannot compare the Sophia 2 and the Sashas. Its a different level overall.However, its probably better to compare the Sasha w/ the Sophia 3s which are probably closer.Im not sure whether its worth the extra $10,000 difference betwee... 
Whest ps.30r
Has anyone compared the Whest to the EAR324 ? Thanks. 
Cayin a-T88, parasound halo a21 or luxman 550A II?
No comparison between Luxman and Cayin. THe Cayin sounds rough compared to the Luxman. 
speakers for a smaller listening room
Those speakers as others mentioned are a bit too big for your room.Suggest you look at the smaller BW if that is the sound you prefer or the smaller Harbeths HLp3esrs.Or you can always acoustically treat your room. 
Goldmund mimesis 9.5 and Wilson system 8
One of the best Wilson setup I heard is a WP8 with a GOldmund monoblock amp Telos Series. I can't forget that glorious, out of this world sound!!
