Any Improvement Possible for B&O-Hsu-Paradigm-Apple System?
That sounds like a highly-reflective and huge listening space.  I'd invest in some sort of room treatments to improve the experience.  It may take several different types to not only improve the sound, but also to not make the room look like a rec... 
Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers
My suggestion would be to go listen to the different offerings from local dealers, if possible. This should speed up your quest.  F none are available locally, you can try some online dealers that offer 30-day returns to help you find what you wil... 
Opinions on Audioengine speakers?
If you want an active (powered) speaker, but you want volume control, you wouldn't need a receiver, you could just use a preamp, instead.   
Roof deck wireless Bluetooth speakers
A few Sonos Move's will do what you need.   
Subwoofer Spl Output
That would depend on the enclosure.  The right driver in a big enough and properly tuned box could shake the house.  But, it would be huge.  
Amplifier for desktop near field system
McIntosh MHA150 or an offering from Peachtree, maybe?  
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?
How about some Vienna Acoustics Hyden’s?  There have been a number of versions over the years, but they’re all quite polite.

Outdoor Landscape series speakers
For that size pool area, you could easily install (2) of the sub/satellite systems where you would have 4 satellites and 1 subwoofer on either side of the pool area.  Depending on the layout of the other areas in relation to the pool area, you mig... 
Outdoor Landscape series speakers

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... 
Speakers with a slightly warm midrange
Vienna Acoustics.  
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.
