Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL
Alexander 717,I have owned both Spendors and Harbeths. Both are great little speakers.The Spendors are a little laid back compared to the Harbeths.The Spendor was on Sterophiles recommended list for years. You can google them for reviews and info.

Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
Ditto on the Conrad Johnson amps. 
SS or Tubes for Spendor S3/5?
I have those speakers. I run them with 50 watt Rogue Audio amps and that is plenty. They are great with anything you decide on tube or ss. 
Valve phono or valve linestage?
Tube phono is the most important. A linestage is just a source switch with a volume control. 
Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used
Those Spendors look like a good deal. Had a pair years ago and found them great. Kind of sorry I sold them. Great with solid state or tubes.
