Nautilus803 with ASW 800, or 802 as main speakers?
twilo why would you take the 805/sub over the 803/sub?there is less to fill in IE: high bass and mid bass. the sub has to work alot harder with the 805's but it depends on room size.and the 805 with a sub is a pretty good combo either way. 
Nautilus803 with ASW 800, or 802 as main speakers?
I would agree with everything that has been said by the other posters.I have owned 805's, 804's,803's and 802's.there is a significant step up between them all. So if you can go with the 802's you can always add a sub later to any combination. 
B&W Signature 805 in HT
all of the 800 and signatures pair well together. so your options are wide open 804, 803, etc.

Any info on the Linn Unidisk 2.1
yes they are available they are 7500$ or there abouts.I have only heard the 1.1 but the 2.1 is supposed to be really nice. 
What do you think of the new Linn Unidisk?
I think it is amazing. Price is depending on how you hear it. I compared it to the teac dv-50. I thought it was worth the extra money based on its sound and support from Linn.
