Parasound A21 In Mono vs. Parasound JC1's
804’s are good to go with bridging A21’s. You will have the power and control you are looking for. If they were say 802’s I would definitely say no. Warm them up for a day or so before you are ready for a serious listening session and you will be ... 
As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i
2.7’s with an active crossover and a couple of small quick subs like REL will get you all you could ever want and then some  
Krell Moves to new location
Wouldn't it be funny to drive over there and a couple of guys are selling stuff out the back door. Just wacks of gear, parts even the tech bench tables   
Bryston Model T Signature speakers
Rebranded Axiom whom they purchased a bit ago. They also moved operations to the Axiom plant in Dwight Ontario from Peterborough which is an additional 2hr drive into the middle of nowhere. Many employees did not make the move- hint, hint.    Th... 
Bryston BP-17 cubed or Benchmrk LA4 Preamp
Congrats on using the Paragon System E. I have one as well and is extremely well built and crafted. Tough to beat at triple the price

Pass labs krell parasound amps
An extra thousand should get you a X350.8 used if not a bit less but when the deal pops up it will go quickly. Many have reported the 350 superior in many ways to the 250. I have the 350  
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Why not stay with what you have? They are excellent speakers  
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
Maybe more of a setup Fritz had with his stack of Krell's  
Anyone at home at Krell?
If they do go belly up hopefully, if they are not already available readily, they give up all the intellectual property like schematics and so on so every stand a good chance of fixing everything up down the road. I'm sure that is worth money so m... 
What size countersunk screws for Audio Research Ref3
If ARC doesn't pick up use the SAE since it's the states and most likely all will be well.  
What size countersunk screws for Audio Research Ref3
Measure the diameter of the threads on the hole. They will fall into a range of the mating fit thread. Just do a quick google search and you will find it.   Screws are standards, ARC will not spec a special thread or diameter.   For example if... 
Amplifier recommendation
The Bryston is a light weight compared to the Coda. Hands down Coda all day long between these two amps.  
Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's?
Sell for parts or buy another for parts to solve the issue. If you can't do the work yourself it might be best to sell for parts. Someone out there will need it.  
Anyone at home at Krell?
Sorry Wil I see a hard landing on this one for sure. VERY hard.
