Pretty big room for M805's, but what the heck. Usually an integrated is a more efficient solution on a smaller budget, like an older Classe' or Plinius for maybe $1000.
OR: Try to find a used Mccormack .5 amp for around $500. You could add an older used tube pre-amp, like from VTL or Conrad Johnson for $800-$1000-ish.
When buying used, a lot of it just depends on "what you find", & opportunity. There are tons of possibilities, & no one "best way" to do it. Oh, & you may want to budget for a better CD player also......
