Amp + Speakers for a 13 ft X 10 ft room


Hi!
I'm new to the world of hi-fi, and I'm looking for some advice.
I'd like to build a stereo setup in a small room (13 ft X 10 ft). Which 'amp-speakers' combos would you recommend for that room size? I would like to get non-fatiguing, dynamic sound with good bass and open soundstage, no harsh treble either. This is going to be my first setup, so the budget is pretty low (about $700-900 per component) as I suspect any moderately good setup would be enough for me at this point.
I guess it would be better to look for vintage gear considering my budget. Am I right?
My listening preferences focus mainly on 60-80s rock music (prog, blues, art, hard, folk, soft, pop, melodic,heavy metal,etc), 50-60s jazz, blues, singer-songwriters, some 80s pop, new wave, alternative, electronic.

I recently suggested the following setup for a friend:

Speakers - Tekton M-Lores (Rlwainwright has suggested the same)
Integrated amp - Marantz PM 6004($599) or PM8004 ($999)
CD Player - Marantz SA 8004
Cables - Signal Cable

The Marantz CDP will allow you to use MP3 players using it's USB input on front and also computer audio using the digital inputs on it's back. And if you buy the cDP and amp from the same dealer, they will give you a good discount.

This should give you an awesome setup with great music for a long time.
Tekton M-Lores $699.00
Shuguange S300I - $799.00 (SET amp that uses 300B Tube) No Remote. Its is being closed out and is on sale for a considerable discount. I think they originally sold for $1000.00 You can upgrade to the Shuguange Tube Set upgrade that Granyt Fidelity sells at a later time. You can buy the S300I directly from Shuguange or Grant Fidelity
You didn't mentioned if you wanted a digital or analogue source.
The best source I can think of in your price range is a used Oppo95, they are selling for $800.00 and under (one listed now for $775.00) Since the release of the Oppo 105, the 95's are starting to sell. Before that you didn't see many (any) used for sale.
You can play all CD formatts, and more and more great music is being released on SACD.
Clear Day Speaker cables would be the ones I would look into ($350.00 for shot gun). My Audio Cable Company has a palladium interconnect ($179.00) that I think are hard to beat for the money. I think that adds up to around $2,800.00. Also you may want consider a Primalua Proloug 2 integrated amp (They sell used for $800.00) instead of the S300I, Its a better build then the S300I. The advantage of the Shuguange is the 300B SET circuit would make those M-Lores sing .
Small Dynaudio's(Excite X12's,Audience 42 or 52's)& a Peachtree Audio Nova Integrated Amplifier driven by either computer via USB or any half way decent DVD/CD Player through Toslink is guaranteed to put a smile on your face & stay within budget!
NEver heard Tekton M lore but like the design and approach.

I've been itching to try something high efficiency that are floor standing and larger than my tiny but game Triangle Titus monitors. How can you go wrong at that price? Nice!
