Which preamp to buy?
And now for something completely different. I don't subscribe to the "all Krells are bright,(etc.)". I think the KSA 250 might even be a bit warm. If you want to balance the sound that attracted you to the KSA 250 in the first place with some tube... 
Thiel CS 5i, 7.2. and others
I haven't heard the 7.2's. I haven't heard any speakers that bettered than the 5i's. That said, I think they are more demanding about room and placement than other Thiels I've heard, and man oh man do they need a serious amplifier budget to really... 
favorite pass amp?
I've only heard a few of Nelson Pass's amps, but, the X1000's may be the best amps I've ever heard. Sorry, I can't offer you relevant advise.

Cwlondon, thanks for the update. I always appreciate it when those who pose a question respond with their decision/results. I don't know about your room and living requirements, but, if you can move your seating position as far back as possible (s... 
Speaker placement: On the rug OK?
I prefer the speakers on the rug as this may reduce the chance for some early sound reflection. 
Long Wall Speaker Placement: Pros and Cons?
While I have never owned planars, I prefer long wall placement. I suspect that your bass resonse will actualy improve. Having greater distance from side wall reflections may improve clarity. My only suggestion is to place some foam padding to abor... 
ICEpower Digital Switching Amps?
Mmakshak, isn't that true for all musical reproduction mediums? 
Power for Thiel 7.2
I'd suggest the Krell KMA 400's. 
Do Audiophiles blow speakers?
I have been known to use such a technique for popping dented soft dome tweeters. What can I say, I love my system.
