Yamaha R-N803 one of the best values in high-end audio?
Can’t comment of the Marantz unit but I do have the 803 in my living room system paired with Meadowlark Herron I’s and I think its a fantastic bargain. The sound quality is very good for the money. I’ve had more than a few costlier amps in this sy... 
Speaker recommendation $1000 or less you've had in your home
Boston Acoustic A series either 200 or 400. Or better yet try and find a pair of the flowing from ADS: L1090/1290/1230/980. I prefer the L980’s. 
Class D
Exogal? 
Newly patented, infinitely adjustable system tuning

My Brief Affair with a Hegel H90 Integrated Amp
That about sums up my experience with the h160, I just couldn’t connect with that amp on any level. 
Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated.......
I owned an A S2100 and had the same issue occur twice within a week so I sold it.. I now have an R N803 and have had zero problems.

Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?

...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market?
Douglas nailed it. $340 a pair in 1970’s dollars would equate to about 2k in todays money. $650 for a great example is on the high end and far below what they retailed for when you factor inflation.  
Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)
I had era d5’s in a bedroom man those things sounded great for their size.
