What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?

My daughter just got a new place and wants to upgrade her Best Buy based stereo system.  She is only interested in two channel stereo (good for her).  I told her if you're willing to get used equipment of high quality you'll get a better system like I did (Krell, Ayre, Revel).  We are looking for an integrated amp and speakers.  The amp should put out 75-100 watts.  She has enough room for floor standing speakers or something smaller.  So far I have researched NAD and Outlaw for amps and PSB for speakers.  What would you recommend?  I think the budget will be $1,000-1,500.

 Thanks for your input.

I’d recommend KEF Q100/Q150 speakers paired with Marantz PM6005/PM6006. 

The older models (Q100 & PM6005) sounds fantastic and can be bought at 50% of their original price. But you could also go new and stay in budget. If you go older you can spend the balance on interconnects and a new power cord. 

I really love the Q100s and I’m actually selling my PM6005 after a year of great service - it’s on here looking for a good home.
