Grado wood body vs. Grace 707 headshell?
Will they fit?  As far as fit is concerned, the Grado uses the standard 1/2" mount. The Grace 707 headshell uses the same, so no problem. 
how do you select a center channel to match when the company only makes monitor speakers?
I would try to see if you can buy a single Harbeth.  Maybe a smaller model within the same line...... It's unlikely another brand will be voiced similarly. ....Agreed

if you decide you want the micrometer (invaluable for fine adjustment of VTA/SRA), it also is not offered on the Classic That's not true.  It's a 90 Pound option and includes the VTA lock.I would just opt for the Series 5, (which I did).  It's ...

Budget amp for NS-1000. Rotel, march or parasound?
It's Marsh, not March and it's a great amp.  Many excellent reviews. That would be my choice of the options you listed.
