I would suggest getting Plinius 8200 integrated amplifier that is probably the most valuable integrated amp that can beat separates in its price range. Krell/Forest combo seems to be too edgy and too bright to me.
...than more reasonable will be bryston 3b-st that you can later-on add another one to use them in horizontal bi-amp. Bryston does its minimalistic job perfect and doesn't cost $$$$$.
