$2000 Budget for a speaker + integrated amplifier


My friend is looking for a "hifi" set up for his bedroom, music only.

He limits his budget to $2000USD, and i need some inputs...

1. Gallo Audio Strada with NuForce icon 2?

2. Amphion Helium 410 with Nuforce icon2?

3. John Blue JB3 + ???

Used Nola Boxer gets another vote. Pair with them with the Exposure 3010S that listed and he'll have one sweet system.
Peachtree Audio Idecco or even the Music box and spend the rest on some speakers and do not look back.
He'd be hard-pressed to beat Musical Fidelity A3.5 integrated and Totem The One speakers. Both used, both currently available for $2,045.00 before any bargaining.
hey guys, thanks for the all the suggestions!

I bought a pair of mark and daniel monitor + speakers for around $1100USD (good deal!) from a 'gon member.

Now I'm looking for some amps, probably the A3.5 as suggested..
I just did the same for well less then $2k.

Creek Evo for $825 new

EPOS ELS8 $295 used

Sony PS1 $10

Now getting a Rega, Pro-Ject, Thorens, or Music Hall table to complete the system.
