Recos for replacing Nak TA-2A to go w/ Klipsch KG4

A non-audiophile friend wants to replace her ailing Nakamichi TA-2A, which she uses to power Kilpsch KG4 speakers, which she likes. She's in an apartment so doesn't crank it too much, and listens to rock 'n' roll with lots of blues, alt. country and some folk. No classical and not much jazz. She likes a warm sound, she says. The Nak has a tuner, so receivers can be in the mix along with integrateds. Phono stage a bonus as she has, but doesn't much use, a TT. Budget around $2500 but seems like we could spend a lot less and still make her happy. I want to stay away from tubes or anything tweaky.

Oh, we'll be replacing her 20 year old Adcom CD player also.
