What would you chose? VPI MKIII vs. Linn LP-12
Years ago I had a Grado with a MMT and I would blow woofers often,the arm will resonate right out of the groove (Grado dance). I love Grado but you have to match with right tonearm and the MMT is not.

QUICK SILVER DOES NOT MAKE INTEGRATED AMPS SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE
Great speakers,I have the 3/5r's with Quick Silver 50 watt amps and the combo is great,try to find the mid mono's they have plenty of power and vocals are to die for. What preamp are you using? 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I OWNED THE 15, IT WAS A LITTLE LACKING IN THE BASS COMPARED TO OTHER AMPS I'VE OWNED BUT IT WAS A REAL NICE AMP BUILT LIKE A TANK. THE PROTECTION CIRCUITS ARE VERY SENSITIVE, IT WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN USING TUBE PREAMPS SO I HAD TO SELL IT, IF YOU ... 
which preamp to buy???
QUICKSILVER AUDIO GREAT LINESTAGE GOES FOR ABOUT $600 USED. 
Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening
Spendor 3/5r's are a great speaker $1500 new,I replaced Vandersteens years ago with Spendors and became a Spendor lover since. 
Speaker Placement Problem
Spendor 3/5'S they are a sealed system no ports. 
Too much power for Spendor S3/5?
I have the Spendors and used with 200 watt solid state and 50 watt tube,they are a great speaker,enjoy them and don't worry. 
Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals
Rickie Lee Jones Traffic From Paradise blows me away every time I spin it! 
Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines
I can't understand why you need a 20 amp when your gear only uses about 500 watts. 1 amp= 110 watts so a 15 amp circuit is about 1700 watts; a 20 amp is about 2200 watts, it is like using a 5 amp fuse when you need a 1 amp fuse. You are better off... 
Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines
A 15 amp is plenty,you will never need a 20 amp it would be total overkill,a 15 amp is the correct type for your gear. 
Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's
I have those amps and used them with spendor S8E's with great results,I now have them mated with spendor SA1's only because I like a smaller type speaker in my room and they go great together.I use el34 tubes in my amps not kt88's.Check out spendo... 
Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next?
I had the 3/5R's using 50 watt tube amps they have a big sound and placement is not an issue they are a sealed type which I always prefer to ported.Check them out I think you will like these very much. 
1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion
You will also need stands,target makes real nice ones that go great with spendors for under $300.00 so this will bring you in under budget.
