Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ?
1970's Marantz was lustful. JRDG today would be hard to beat. 
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own).
Trust yourself. The Revel F206 is an awesome speaker. Great looking, extremely well built and superb sonics. Economies of scale put this speaker's performance far beyond its price.  
Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System
I can't recommend more highly the B&W DB 1 sub that I've used for several years in a very high end system currently with Wilson speakers. You will never know it's in action except that your bass response will be awesome seemingly from only you... 
2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list?
Just to clarify on Agostino gear. Dan A was the creator of Krell and the designer of their very best creations. He started his own company a few years back with his latest designs being under his own name. his products have been acclaimed worldwid... 
2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list?
The Agostino would be on my short list. You could go new with the Classic or even better with a mint used Momentum S200. Sweet and powerful from a legend. FWIW.  
Jeff Rowland to what?
I truly don't think you'll exceed the the Rowland unless maybe an Agostino S250 would offer something you might prefer. Beyond that you'll need to look towards some of the European boutique brands at great expense. Jeff personally is involved with...

Should I Upgrade My Krells
Darn I didn't address the OP's question. Based on his comments there is zero reason to sell the Krell gear. Some cable experimenting might be just the ticket. IMHO.

Should I Upgrade My Krells
One thing I know is that current Krell gear is in no way harsh. You may not like the styling vs older Krell but the current stuff sounds great. I’m not sure of Krell’s future though. I truly believe they seriously hurt themselves with the aestheti... 
Has anyone heard new Less Loss C- Mark power cable?
Time will tell but if you already have great cables its a non starter.  
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Haven’t really followed this massive thread but I can’t imagine not liking the Bricasti if that’s the case. Simply can’t imagine. It's a buy and forget piece and used direct it's breathtaking.  
B&W Speaker Score!
You hear what you hear. No way around it. Someone else may love them. Smart to not change system for speakers. My humble opinion is that great musical speakers show their merits even when not perfectly set up. If you have to tweek a bunch and try ...
