Revel F-30 versus B&W matrix 802 series III
Actually I have aquestion for you. Now that you have owned the F30's do you find the tweeter a little edgy? I have been considering the purchase of these but I found them a little too crisp in the highs. Just asking for an opinion. 
Long v. short
I would say depending on the size of your speakers, if they are small back the up to a short wall but if larger the wide wall will give you a more spacious sound. personnally I would go with the speakers aiming at the furthest wall. Especially if ... 
What am I hearing from this amp?
I would say that when you don't hear the "hiss" from the receiver and hear it from the receiver/amp combo it is just the added amplification. The hiss probably present in the receiver but not noticable until the amp amplifies it.Also it may be a R...

DVD Picture Problem -- Please Help
I would take it back to the dealer and hook it up to one of their sets and go from there 
McIntosh and Thiels
You don't mention any other source component delivering these sound characteristics. Is it just the CD, if so maybe you should try a more nuetral interconnect. I have a Mc MX134 and MC352 and MC7205 and I have really a very fine detailed sound wit... 
Linn OEM Power Cables
Getting Linn or any manufacturer to openly admit that they provide anything less than optimum would be impossible. I have an Ikemi and have added the Cardas QuadLink and am very happy. For a power am I would look at the Harmonic Technolgy ProACII. 
Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store
