Best Amp for my new Speakers?
There are many amps that would compliment your Revel's. I think people can only make suggestions. My suggestion would be the Sim Audio W-5. It really controls a speaker and has a sound that compliments an accurate speaker. 
Replace my reciever acting as a pre with???
A preamp can make a very nice difference but not at the price point you are considering. It sound like you are trying to integrate stero and home theater. There are several preamps that do this pretty darn good. You are probably looking at a pre o... 
HT hookup
You might look at the following web page for speaker placement information in a home theater. http://www.dolby.com/ht/Guide.HomeTheater.0110.html#s3.1I would suggest using the thickest gauged copper wire your NAD can handle for your center and rea... 
What Krell amp/Pre, CD unit match the B&W N802's?
I also have the N802's. It's not unusual to be able to hear 802's matched with Krell amplification. The new Krell amps are certainly much better to my ear than the Krell products I heard a couple of years ago. I purchased Simaudio's W-5 and P-5 a ... 
Reccomendations for Nautilus Speaks
I searched for an amp to mate with my N802's for two years before deciding on Simaudio's W-5. I use the W-5 with Simaudio's P-5 preamp for music. It's a very nice combination. (This would only make sense to me if you are really into music rather t... 
Best pre-amp w/ HT pass thru
You might want to consider the Simaudio P-3 preamp. It sounds good to me and the wife can work it. 
tara lab master gen.1
I use it between my CDP and preamp. It replaced a pair of Tributaries. It soften the highs but kept the detail. I certainly have no plans for replacing it. 
Pass X-250 or Sim Audio Moon W-5 to Drive B&W N802
It's interesting to me that you are thinking about moving off the W-5. It's one of the amps I've been thinking about purchasing. An amp you might want to consider is the Chord 1200E. Apparently, heat isn't an issue for you so you might want to con... 
Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial?
to audition equipment in their home with their equipment using the DBT method. Thus controversy exits. 
B&W Nautilus 802 Owner
Your room is not too small for the N802. I agree with Krell1 about the need for room treatments. This is true for any room. 
Which speaker cables???
I am enjoying Kimber Bifocal XL's with my N802's and consider them a good match. They certainly don't color the sound. You get what you got. 
Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV?
I second the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. It made a real difference in my picture with the added benefit of surge protection. 
Comments on Cary 303 CD Player
I purchased the 303/200 about a month ago. The basic nature of the player has not changed since I opened the box. It has, however, matured with use. I would characterize its sound as emotionally involving with an excessively low fatigue factor. I ...
