Help with a system for a friend

 A friend asked me to help him put together a stereo system for under $6500. I think there’s no better place than here to get answers. He listened to my system and enjoyed it. I have Bryston equipment and aerial speakers, schiit dac, and a Sonos for WiFi.  It’s a detailed, transparent clean sound, good damping.  

His needs are simple.  Integrated amp, speakers, and a music streamer for WiFi.  No vinyl.  All new, no used.  I’m going to steer him away from hegel (no need to discuss this).  Any suggestions?  Leave room for cables.
Thanks

ok.  I’ve read speakers should make up the majority of the budget.

Model 6.  Glorious sound, but I have a rather large room.

i bought a new hegel, then had a new replacement sent.  Both had a damping problem (almost no damping).  Poor service, if you could call it that.

Room size is probably 15x20, no smaller.

hilde45, or anyone with Raven.  I wonder if Raven Nighthawk would be enough for this size room?  Also would it drive a pair of small Martin Logan esl’s w/o woofer amp?

Spendor A7 vs Salk songbird 3?
