I'll cut to the chase. The NAD C 328 is the most capable, best sounding amp in its price range. Period. It will handle your streaming today, and later, vinyl better than most amps double its price. NAD has been doing that for over 40 years.
Some will consider this a radical heresy, but for $30, you can add an Echo Dot which will stream, and give you voice control as well. Connect it via Bluetooth or old-school 3.5 mm to RCA patch cable.
Speakers are a much more subjective choice, but I would consider Monitor Audio Bronze 2, and a pair of decent speaker stands, say Pangaea LS 300, probably the 24" variety. The MA Bronze 2 have a 6.5" woofer, so offer decent, if not super extended bass, and will later mate well with a subwoofer to fill in the bottom 1-1/2 octaves below 60Hz. My Second choices would include the B&W 607, and ELAC - Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52.
Forget fancy cables for now, but be sure to get a package of Blu-Tack to mate the speakers to the stands. it will make a difference.. And pay attention to the speaker setup, separation, distance to side and backwalls. I have heard $10,000 speakers ruined by by bad placement, and $500 ones become magical with good placement.
Which leads to the final recommendation. A few hundred dollars spent on proper acoustical treatment for your listening room will improve the sound far, far more than that same investment in equipment. Try https://acousticalsolutions.com/ they have a broad selection and are very reasonably priced.
You can get the NAD, Monitor Audio speakers, stands and acoustical panels all for around $1500. $1100 without the acoustical panels.
