I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago and decided to build an all Rega system starting with a Brio, Planet 2000 and Jura speakers. I bought these without ever listening to them first, and two years later, and after an upgrade to a Mira3 integrated amp (? the Brio sounds very good too), I am very happy with the sound. WRT speakers, the Jura's, to me, have a nice bottom end and have a fairly evenly distributed sound across from high to low - might be a little on the bright side, and could be a little heavy, but sound pretty good to me. Before the switch to the Rega, I ran an old Arcam system (Arcam Alpha 8 integrated and Alpha Alpha 7se CD with B&W 602's - the Jura's are much much better than the 602s IMHO) that also sounded good to me - I was able to get the two Arcam components used for a very reasonable price < $600. To me, and I'm no expert, the Arcam sounded a little more dynamic (hard to describe) than my current Rega system, and the Rega more precise with drums and percussion voiced really good giving it a more lively sound. Tough choices, but both sounded good to me.
