Outdoor Landscape series speakers
I've done a quite a number of landscape systems over the years.  For the aspect of the speakers, the best performing and most rugged I have ever dealt with are from Near and James Loudspeaker.  Those two are some truly fine speaker offerings.  ht... 
Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade
I run a MA5200, the predecessor to the 5300 in my office system and it has run all the speakers I've connected to it just fine, including Concertino's and Concerto's from SF.  The Luxman, Accuphase or the McIntosh the OP listed would be great.  Ju...

Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?
You can contact PS Audio since they use a set for voicing and have them set up in a listening room for demo’s.  They (Paul), should have a ton of info about them.   
Needs advice for Power/Int Amp up to ~2700$ (New/Used) - MF/McIntosh
I have a MA5200, which is similar to the MA5300 you listed and I love it.  I would also look at the Yamaha you listed as well as the Parasound offerings.

For all you Bose 901 Haters!
I had a few sets years ago.  They're a "fun" and in my opinion, good looking speaker when on their matching stands, especially the chrome ones.  (I'm a mid-century modern fan).  They must be used with the equalizer, if not, they sound worse than a... 
50 hours on Monitor Gold 200's enough?
I had 2 sets of identical Monitor Audio Golds. 1 set I used daily for over a year and the 2nd set was fresh out of the carton. Side-by-side, myself nor anyone in the room with me could tell a difference in performance between the two sets.  Just m... 
Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich
How about something like the Sonus Faber Concerto's, Concertino's, Minima Amator II's, Cremona Auditor/ Auditor M's or some Vienna Acoustic Hyden's?  
How do you play music on a Marshall speaker?
I have a Bluetooth Marshall speaker in my garage.  It just links to my phone when I'm out there.  (??)  
Mixing Ethernet Cables
Holmz and btscott are correct.  Just use the copper Cat5 and you'll be more than fine.   
Bookshelf Speaker For Outdoors
Well, go ahead and install indoor speakers outside, rather than any of the high-performance, weatherproof speakers designed for that purpose, then.  Just sayin'.  
Luxman L505uXii or Hegel H390
