8-10k budget suggestions please


Hey guys, 

been out of the game about 10 years, got a new wife, new house, and plugged in my old B&W 804's.  Connected them to a Denon receiver expecting to want to do surround sound.......But forget it!  I really want to maximize my 804's for 2 channel listening.

My room is 15ft long by 13 by 9.  not very big but I need amplification and streaming capabilites.  Will add TT later as I do have vinyl.  Room tx is on it's way so let's just assume it's already done.

 

Thanks for all your help!

Here is another data point. I think I was at about 10K to 12k range. Two Revel F208 speakers (during a sale), Benchmark DAC3, Benchmark Amp, used BlueNode streamer (streamer only), cables from Benchmark and BlueJean cables. I feel it sounds good for the price.  I don't care for B&W sound signature so try others to see what you think as time has passed.  My 20 year old Sonus Faber's had lost too much sound quality due to age and my tastes changed as well.
