Help Save Klipcsh from B & O

My buddy rolled into town this weekend with his girlfriend. He has a pair of Klipsch Cornwall that he bought new and are being refurnished. He was going to stop at B & O and buy something to power them. I have stepped in to save him. He has a couple of thousand dollars to spend. He has a medium sized living room and does not want to fuss with tubes.

For his budget what would be recommendations for:

1. An integrated SS amp. Having a phono stage would be desirable.

2. A DVD player that would also play CD's

3. I'm particular to Coincident for speaker and I/C.

4. A FIM for the wall outlet.

5. A Tuner.

6. Any other items.

Thanks,
Luc

"HF grainy" equipment driving a Klipsch doesn't sound to me like a good combination; I'd think that those horns would tear you up - soooo revealing. Richard's report is interesting though & perhaps a certain synergy was found using a given combination of cabling along with Heresy's & that B&O?
So I was thinking to suggest a nice receiver. A used Magnum Dynalab MD208 would fit the requirements & target price.
However I will say that Klipsch driven with mosfet's via MIT speaker cabling has always worked well in my experience. Perhaps a Musical Fidelity integrated.
