Subs?
Take a look at (or listen to) to the DB series B&W subs. For just music I'd take one of those over a JL all day long.  
looking for bookshelves - Another usual boring speaker discussion
I'd give the PS Audio FR5 a consideration too. I sure have been very impressed with mine.   
Studio Electric m4
Why not just set a pair of Fostex super tweeter on top of your SAMs? Madisound has them pretty cheap.  
Any Nashville enthusiasts?
Spring Hill here!! Is this club up and going or?  @bugredmachine   
Anyone try the Kaleidescape Strato V? Seems to eliminate the need for the crazy server?
If you want the best possible audio and video, the KScape stuff is the best. If you intend on buying a bunch movies you'll want a Terra as well. If you are only going to rent stuff then the strato will work.  Keep in mind that KScape is not a str... 
Which subwoofer should I get?
REL is the OPPO of the HiFi world, over-hyped because magazines like The Absolute Sound said it was great but many cheaper alternatives do better. I'll vote for SVS if you want to save a few bucks and like the app. I'll also throw in the Paradi... 
Amp for B&W 802N
Take a look around for the CAM-600 if you can swing the price. Those speakers take a lot of power to get the most out of them. Like soix mentions above, Classe is a fantastic pairing to B&W  
Starting my showroom again
I think I'm in the town you're talking about (maybe lol) and here's my .02c    I've been in the AV industry since 2008 and the first half of those were at a retail brick n mortar and the second half has been in CI world, so two different worlds.... 
Super tweeter, subwoofer, or both
I'm not sure how a super tweeter effects the bass but ok. I've added both subwoofers and super tweeters to the single driver systems I've had with great results when done properly. It takes time to integrate but the end result, to me, was fantasti... 
Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii?
I have been super impressed by the PS Audio FR5. I'm using a Cambridge Edge A integrated which is 100wpc which drives them really well.  
Anthem AVM 70 or Marantz AV10
@thiagoalves  Yes, the early AVM70s did have some software issues, along with the MRX series. That lasted about a year and has been fine ever since. If you're looking used make sure it comes with the calibration mic   
Anthem AVM 70 or Marantz AV10
The AVM 70 is cheaper and I would take it over the Marantz all day. However, at the price of the AV10 the better comparison would be the AVM 90 and I'd take that over everything under 15k. Marantz is a great brand but not really my taste sonicall... 
Experienced Maggie Lovers Please Advise
The other thing to consider with maggies is the power. They love power and the bigger you go the more power they can take. You don't mention what amplification you have or are considering but, in my opinion, the 3.7's I've dealt with sounded much ... 
what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials?
The STR is tough to beat in that price range with their built in room correction, its an uber handy tool.  
Best choice for small form Amp for desktop
I second the NAD and PS Audio, great little amps
