Definitely check out Odyssey ... I have the Kismet.  And there's one for sale at USA Audio in your budget!    https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650092681-odyssey-audio-kismet-stereo-power-amplifier/

The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
@evank  haha ... similar experience.  Bought NAD 7220PE with Spectrum 208A speakers back in early 80s.  Still have them both ....

Haha ... @baylinor ... made me laugh!  
Anthem Customer Service
That's frustrating, OP ... it's not like you don't have a million other things to do ...  Thanks, for sharing!      
Thoughts on the Peachtree Nova 300
It's a good choice ...  Some Rega products are a little demure size-wise ... Arcam Alpha 8 might fit your requirements too. I think you might give Crutchfield a buzz they could help ...  
Speaker isolation - spikes on puck, springs, sorbothane
Herbie's Audio Lab offers similar products a bit less expensively ...

Another shameless plug for Odyssey!! Have a Kismet amp and will never part with it!! Call him in Klaus in the evening ....  
Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp?
I haven't seen the phase or impedance graphs for the BEs ... I'd call Fritz but it seems to cover the lower end:           Recommended Power: 5 - 200 Watts RMS, without clipping    
Sony Studiolabo Room

OP ... Updgrade? Admit it you're bored ...     
Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.
Definitely give QB a try.  I'm using Amazon because wifey buys so much crap- sounds good to me but its app (especially for IOS) is maddening.
