Speakers Nominal Power handling/Amplifier
The only way to relieve the bass from the mains is to use a high pass filter. You can’t do that with an integrated amp if the amp does not have a preamp in and preamp out feature! The sub also needs a preamp in and preamp out feature that goes thr... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
I see that you have the Harbeth P3ESR on your list. Over the years I have owned many speakers and I always go back to the P3. Take a look at this video. This guy has the same take on the P3 as I do!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFIaiPT_kY 
New Speaker Manufacturer Intro
Not all speakers have a 5 year warranty. My Harbeths have a 3 year warranty. Good luck with your new company!

Amp placement when switching from separates to integrated
Keep the rack in the same position and run longer speaker cables from the integrated to the speakers! 
Reasonably Priced Bookshelf Speakers
Keep away from any rear ported speaker for using against a wall. The front ported ones should be fine! 
Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching

Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching
I’ve used the QS Mid-Mono original 50 watt version with low sensitivity ( 83 DB ) LS3/5A type speakers with no problem at all. The room size was 20x15. I did prefer using the bigger brighter sounding KT88 tubes with the speakers that I was using!

I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
I doubt very much that the Accuphase would be better. Nowadays there are very few top quality FM broadcasts that would justify paying that much for a tuner. I use a Magnum MD90 with an attic mount yagi type antenna. Save your money, that tuner tha... 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
In this day and age tuners are slim pickin’s! Very few with balanced outputs are available! Here are two but be prepared to pay a premium price for them! http://www.accuphase.com/model/t-1200.html https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/tuners/MR87
