Rotel 1070 v MF A300 Cambridge 840A
Rotel is not in the same league its a 1/2 step below the others. 
Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's
Throw into the mix the Rogue Cronus which is rated at roughly 50 watts but has the current to drive these speakers. 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
How about the GR-Research NEO-2X? As a kit there around $800 but will easily compete in the $3k range. 
b&w 685: heard 'em, liked 'em, but wondering
If you really want the most for your money I highly recommend GR-Research kits. I just built there NEO-2x for $800 and crushes a lot of speakers under $3k IMO. 
NAD 372 Verses Rotel RB 990 and RC995
I had that Rotel combo, it was hard and harsh to me. 
Rel vs. MJ Acoustics vs. Sunfire
Yes I've heard the 50 and its a little wimpy when compared to the 100. Even when compared to the ERA it seemed lacking. I think the 100 is the way to go, IMO. 
Rel vs. MJ Acoustics vs. Sunfire
I currently own a MJ 100MKII and love the fact it comes with a wireless remote. Much easier to set up then a Rel, imo. My sub isn't the deepest sounding sub but is surely one of the most musical. 
Sub-woofer/ Source for MAgnepan MG 1.6s
Try a MJ Acoustics MK200 II. Has a remote to adj phase which really comes in handy. Plus when set up right its pretty quick. 
Sealed Monitor Speakers
Try Danny Ritchie of GR Research's NEO-2X. It easily imo competes with speaker costing $3k. And if you use the right amp there is no need for a sub. 
MA RS6 & Jolida? Someone gives me right direction.
I think your decisions are a great start for a newbie. My suggestion to you is next either treat your room or invest in good cabling as both should be treated as a component. 
Musical Subwoofer for 2-channel system
Lets throw in there the MJ Acoustic subwoofers. I currently use there 100 MKII in my living room with seamless integration thanks to it wireless remote. Plus it has a variable phase adjustment making set-up more of a breeze. The most musical sub I... 
Integrated Amp for Monitor Audio RS6
Why tube amps aren't on your list if mind boggling with the S6's. 
Very Compact Subwoofer
Don't forget MJ Acoustics and Rel for small foot prints. 
Integrated Amp for Monitor Audio RS6
Don't forget to include the Cambridge 840A. 
"Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp?
Triangle Titus or Cometes would be on my list also due to there easy to drive ability. Plus they have a slew of other strengths to. Once you hear Triangle JM Labs especially will sound slow.
