Good Speaker Match for AMC Int. Amp
AMC is unbeatable for $$. I'll second on B&W, always take Kevlar. Take 602! Good Luck! 
Best speaker small/large for Belcanto 40
ACI SApphire III! Factory direct, from Audio Concepts. You will have to spend good 2-3K, to get as quality speakers as these. Check www.audireview.com also check AcI web-site. These speakers have been compared with B&W 801. 
Planet vs. Jolida 603
Sober, (i wish i am)i would recommend belt driven, top loading "CEC" 20-Bit Cd player. Originaly $1,795, you can get one on the Audio Advisor for $795!! Go "steal" one before they are gone! WWW.Audioadvisor.com The model is CEC TL-5100Z 
Interconnects for Linn Genki and LK 85's
Linn "analogue" is as good as any, mentioned. You have to be careful with too "laid-back" or "sweet" sounding cables. Linn gear is relatively "laid-back". I like Kimber PbJ, with my Majik and Karik, or as i said Linn's own. 
B&W Nautilus 803 advice please
I think some "subtle" changes in HF area, (improved tweeter) still sound's great, my favorite B&W. 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Electa Amator
CJ Premier 12. and CJ Premier 16LS(line stage) 
Need help with ProAc Response OneSC
ProAc's are great speakers, however they are very critical of the rest of your components. If you have a mediocr amp and source, you won't ever know the full potential of you speakers. I suggest to "hit the sidewalks" and audition as many "gear" y... 
Invisible Speakers
Hi Lightyear! (buzz). I think you should re-negotiate, with your wife. What is the point in building HT dedicated room, when you can not have HT "gear" in it?? Does your speakers have to be built in the wall? If yes, B@W has some new "wall" speake... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
If you want one of the best monitors, deffinitely check about Audio Concept Sapphire III! This is 'factory direct", made in USA, with money back guar...! Check reviews on "Audioreview" also "bound for sound"..they've been compared with B@W 801's. ... 
Speaker cable for Linn gear
And that is correct...so far, in my case. I have Majik-(and i had)Tukan, and went from K-400 to MIT-2 to Audioquest "Crystal" and back again to K-400, and i preffere K-400. More detailed cable like "AQ Crystal," or Kimber would not very well suit ... 
need recs for 2 way system
You have many choices, especially used "stuff". I would recommend Linn Majik (used, from 450-650)or Analog audio Puccini(see reviews on the soundstage archives, for both) If you preferance is "classical", i would go for "Majik", if you like more "... 
Monitor Audio - Hype or the good stuff?
I think so. I owned "gold" series "Monitor 3ce Gold" slim "floorstander" in MTM configuration. At the time i regreted selling them. Thise "gold" dome tweeter are somethng else! Never harsh, always smooth. They were much better, than Linn Keildh's,... 
Feelings on Napster?
who is it?... Castro? 
Legacy Audio Stuff
Legacy is as good as it gets! I heard "classic's" with Vac avatar (another product bashed by "quasy-audiophiles")tube integrated. You are wasting your time listening anybody's "advice", especialy i8f you have an oportunity, yo hear it yourself. 
Feelings on Napster?
...i just wanted to say, that i bought far more CD's, since i had oportunity to hear certain music on the Napster. Instead suing their fan's, Metalica, and others should go along and make their next album In MP3!
