Thiel SCS2 or MCS1?
Thiel owner here-- get the matching speakers for the center. The other sounds good-your combo will sound great 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
B&WJBL sound dated 
is a center channel really necessary??
For music no I prefer 2.1. For movies you need 5.1three up front and two in the rear with a sub. The question I ask is do you need a center in the rear ala 6.1 and I say no

Thiel CS 2.2 or B&W 804N
I have CS 2.2s and may switch to BW 804N-thoughts? McIntosh MC206 200 wt/am and McIntosh preamp 
are subwoofers anti-audiophile?
Most people over use their subwoofers. Used properly- a high quality subwoofer will help 90% of the speakers out there. As a rule I say cross over between 60-80 and turn the volume down a bit and enjoy
