Best choice for small form Amp for desktop
I second the NAD and PS Audio, great little amps  
Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives?
@szejna  The NAD you noted has Dirac built in I believe. Room correction software is a different animal but can make a great difference when use properly. If you aren't techy Dirac can be somewhat difficult to navigate. In that case I'd suggest f... 
Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives?
@szejna  The two you have listed are a good product and worth your consideration as well as the Yamaha also suggested.  Take a look at The Music Room if you want to purchase them, they have a return policy so that way you can try them and see wh... 
Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives?
That VSX has to be 20ish years old? So the short answer is yes you'd gain an improvement going with a new surround receiver (i.e. Anthem, Marantz etc). Look for one that has room correction, stable to 4ohm and has good clean power.    If this is... 
Hunting for an integrated for thiels cs 2.3. Anthem, Hegel, Bel Canto?
Of those options, I'd strongly recommend the STR. Having ARC built in will get the most out of those Thiels    https://tmraudio.com/components/integrated-amplifiers/anthem-str-stereo-integrated-amplifier-mm-mc-phono-1-1/

Any experience with SVS 3000 Micro
If you're trying to squeeze every inch then, yeah the 3000Micro is a great little sub. However, if you have a little bit more room I agree with soix's recommendation of the SB1000pro. It'll best either of your choices. I had a pair of the 3000's ... 
Deal Alert
You can only buy them at that price if you walk into the store, otherwise it’s against their dealer agreement to sell and ship out.   https://www.goldenear.com/goldenear-dealers/buyer-be-aware    
Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700
Of those options, I would opt for the Coda. I considered the CSiB that Jazzman7 posted about based on not finding a negative thing stated about it. It was a bit out of my budget at the time and the SoCal dealer ghosted me but if you have the chanc... 
Best subwoffer crossover with room correction
Room correction DSP or using the internal EQ won't do as much as placement will for bass (and all speakers). If you're well versed using REW you will need to place your subs in various spots then measure to find the best spot(s). Once you place th... 
Transparent reference 75 ohm digital cable
I have one and it's pretty thick with a taller RCA end but it's not to stiff you can't make right angle turns.

Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@seanheis1  Thank you for making my point. The variables will be a lot and, again, that will change once that speaker is in my room. Therefore, if you want to post anechoic measurements or from your back yard I don't care. That's not going to tel... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
I couldn't care less, simply because their measurements aren't in my room which is always vastly different. I also don't put much stock into the tech specs which tend to be off as well.  So if they or ASR wants to post frequency curves that's fin... 
Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8
Boy that's going to be a big change in the speaker sound going from Zu to Spendor. I hope you've listened to those before you've bought or are buying
