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.

Those B&W speakers are nice if you like. But buy used speakers.
I would get a Rega Brio integrated. Very well built and good sounding British quality. And then you will have a nice phono stage for MM cartridge and a remote. I would get a Rega RP 1 TT and Rega or Ortophon cartridge. You can probably find a Brio used and decent speakers same. I would only buy a new TT and cartridge.
