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.
