I didn't realize computers had binding posts! Sweet! 
Rears: B&W S805s or N804s?
Agree with Jamesw20 - stick with the Nautilus to match your center. Heck, N805s would be fine too! 
Are the B&W N800 that good?
Yes, I am a true believer that the 800s are 'that much better' than the 802/801s. Now, that being said, are they worth $5K more? That is completely subjective where much depends on the depth of one's pocketbook, not to mention amps, power coming f... 
JBL K2 - 5800 vs. 9800
Inpieces - Though I have not compared the 5800 to the 9800, the 9800 are phenomenal! Have you listened to the 9800s?I am running a pair of the 9800s with the matching center, using a trio of Conrad Johnson Premier 8A tube amps, with a digital fron...

Can you name this speaker? Thoughts?
My point is two-fold. First, for those that DID NOT know it is a description of the Energy Veritas 2.8, strictly based on numbers, how this speaker comes across, good, bad, indifferent. Second is to just have fun to see if anyone actually knew it ... 
Good choices in a used A/V pre-amp?
Mike,The 200 is that good, certainly. I love it. Agreed, $895 is too much, though if someone is willing..............I would spend about $500 for the pair, DELIVERED! And would do so happily. Until then, the Golden Theater GTX-1 is the best 2 chan... 
5 Channel Amp for under $2k?
Uccprince - You listed one of my favorite 5 channel amps for all purpose, theater and 2 channel, the Cinenova. If you can lift it, give 'er a try, phenomenal. The Interga Reseach RDA-7 is one of my favorite multi channel amps, covers all spectrums... 
Good choices in a used A/V pre-amp?
Madhf -The Angstrom 200 smokes in 2 channel, doesn't it? Fabulous unit for a combo HT and 2 channel. So you got a 200 with DTS, nice. Not all had DTS. Did you get the 205, additional unit that decodes DD? Those are VERY difficult to locate.Dan 
Good choices in a used A/V pre-amp?
There are few better dedicated home theater preamp/processors on the planet at any price, but certainly in the $450 - $650 range, better than a Lexicon DC-1 with v2.1 or better (DTS,DD,Logic7, THX). Remember, this unit did retail for about $5,495 ... 
Besides Audio, what other ''passion'' do you have?
1) Tennis/Basketball/Golf/Road Bike Riding.2) Determining if the Sports Books in Vegas and others have the spread correctly identified. (sm!)
