If you're open to second hand, consider a Vincent SV 237 (not the MK). I picked one up recently for just a little over $1K and am very happy with it. Other integrateds I've owned include the Peachtree Grand X1, Peachtree Nova 300, Heed Elixir, and Audio Research VSi55. Only the ARC is as good in terms of sound quality.
Which amp would you go with
Ok the room is 13 ft wide. Listening area is 10ft from speakers 2 ch system. The floorstanders I will be running are Tannoy XT6F. The source is Oppo 105 as preamp. Pretty simple setup. The only thing not purchased yet is Amp and/or sub (if needed). Around $1000 give or take is the budget. The short list in order of preference is.

and the fallback option
