Suggestions for some Monitor Audio

$2500 integrated on some Monitor Audio Bronze?  Noooo!

Brother, get a pair of used Monitor Audio Gold 100’s or Gold GX100’s.

Use the rest of your budget for a good preowned integrated.  You can get a great preowned integrated for $1000-$1500.  You Can get a pair of nice Monitor Audio GX100’s for $1200.

The Sphinx is wonderful but I would plan on getting a pair of NOS Mullards to warm the sound a hair.  They will be a good match.  

A Parasound Hint 6 integrated is 3K brand new.  Open box, demo, etc. should get you to your price point.

I had a pair of Bronze 2 once. I also once heard the Gold series bookshelf at a dealer. The Gold is a serious upgrade from the Bronze.
I would urge you to follow the advice from b_limo above if you want to stay with Monitor Audio, which by the way is a proven brand.
