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!

have you listened to the Krell or just pulling the trigger? For 8K, separates make more sense (as I read, not that I ever tried)

so, in my experience, pulling the trigger is never a good idea.

I did it once. I got so burnt (un-resellable, hideous looking and sounding brand new speakers with no return policy) I didn't turn my system for weeks. On a pair of 1500 dollar speakers, I lost over 900. My largest purchase ever. 

I don't know how you would know this is what you need, unless you tried it and tried others. 

But of course I hope it will be exactly that, you best choice.
