The new series Yamaha integrateds are full featured and well built. What sources does your daughter use?
I am a fan of 2-way stand mounts speakers. There is a Pair of Dynaco Exicte X14s offered here on AG for $700. B&W CM5s can also be had used around that price. The Focal 706s are now discounted down to $550/pair new. B&W 685s can be had used for ~$400. Many other available for consideration, ones I have mentioned I am familiar with. If possible your daughter needs to arrange to listen to a few.
A substantial upgrade can be achieved at her budget.
I wish her the best in her search.
