Newbie to the awesome audiophile world

hi all, i'm a new member here and looking to learn from here of starting a stereo system. I'm thinking a basic 2 channel amp that can power a pair of floor standing speakers. I'm currently eyeing a pair of bowers & Wilkens cm9 or kef iq9 both used of course (my budget is around 2k for the setup) so around 1000 for the speakers or about 1000 for the amp. Given the speakers, what are your thought on amps to pair with them that provide the best sounding? I'm looking for high fidelity sound over raw power. 

thanks all for viewing and helping this newbie out.

@retsameht01....You've already received enough advice for a lifetime. ;)

Take you time, and some music (cds') with you.
Leave your wallet in the car to minimize rash moves.
Spend more time listening to the equipment vs. the salesperson.
Nothing is Perfect from the start, so start simple; one can always use 'headroom' to learn what one likes and How.

Enjoy the journey....mind the rocks 'n roots on the trail. 
And have fun.  It's supposed to be Fun.
Don't fear mistakes.  We've all made some.

Good variable factors,
