$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 + ???

Redgum RGi120 - $750 used and has driven everything I've thrown at it very well. You won't find much press on it, but it is supremely musical.
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..
