I would check out the Onix Ref 1 in Rosewood and Chinese Melody tube integrated deal at av123.com. You will have to look around under news and future products to find this. Call them for the deal. Both for $1200 or so and a $200 credit on their cabling. There's no reason this shouldn't make nice music in your sized room. They also will have a version of the Music Hall CD player for around $300 or so, with mods available. These folks have been around the audio industry for a long time, at various companies.
If you don't like that then the $1500 http://www.odysseyaudio.com offering of speaker, pre and amp and cabling is also thought to be quite good.
I also like the idea of a Pioneer DVD player and a Scott Nixon tubedac, although it would be more expensive than the av123 CD player. (The tubedac has no upsampling - an advantage I think.)
