DVD Picture Problem -- Please Help
Most modern TV's have a tilt control in their setup menus. It will usually fix the problem. Some DVD players have this adjustment also. 
Power conditioner for Krell Mono Block?
I have a dedicated 30 amp line for my 600c and do not use a line conditioner but Panamax's new high end models offer balanced and isolated outlets and have two recepicles without current limiting. 
Longbox CD's
The quality is probably worse. 
XLR wiring question?
The cables are wired the same. It's the equipment that's different. They reverse the positive and negative. So, even if the wire was reversed it wouldn't matter because it would be reversed on both ends. 
Krell KAV250a or Krell KSA 100s
Go with the 100S 
Thoughts on a Marantz MM9000 amp for a 4 Ohm ...
No, the amp itself would be the one at risk. But, most amps can drive a 4ohm load easily and it should supply more power into the lower impedence. Look on the back of the amp next to the binding posts and see if it says anything about speaker impe... 
Help Any Krell KRC Owners
I am only going on what I was told by my friend at Krell. He claims that the HR has better resolution. It would be worth it to me if I had the money. If not, the KRC is still a fine preamp that has all of the features of the HR.

5.1 Dolby audio switch unit.
Doesn't the demodulator have inputs for other devices? I have a Yamaha that does. Or, you could get a demodulator that has a digital output. 
Help Any Krell KRC Owners
If I were you, I would hold out for an HR. It is much improved. You should be able to get one for around the same price and Krell no longer does updates to the KRC. I called my friend from Kell yesterday and he was out. 
Connecting a sub to amp pre-amp outs?
If the sub has pre ins and outs you can go from the Adcom to the sub from the pre-outs of the Adcom then from the sub to your main amp. This means that you will be using the crossover in the sub and it may or may not be bad for the sound of your m... 
Bi-amping???????'s
It will work fine as long as you split the stereo output from the preamp using "Y" cables or if your preamp has two sets of stereo outputs, use both pair. You will probably gain a little. But when a multi-channel amp is used as a stereo only amp, ... 
Is it OK to put casters on the bottom of speakers?
I think it's a very good idea. Others will surely disagree. If I were going to do it, I would attach the castors to a separate base that is actually wider than the speakers for stability. Then I would simply screw the base to the bottom of the cab... 
How can I add an amp to a receiver w/o amp outputs
There is a device that allows you to use the speaker outs to connect an amp. It coverts the speaker outputs to RCA. You can get them at Rat Shack I believe.
