Best integrated with pre/main out/$650
I'd take a look at a Jolida 1701 or 1501 hybrid. Or if your monitors are efficient you could look at the 302b tube integerated with a pre-out added for around this cost. The NAD C340 would be my choice for ss at your budget. 
Help with a budget second system
I currently am using a Jolida 502A with a pair og 1.6's without problem in a room slightly larger than yours. As to the bass of the MMG's, it is not huge but will be very coherent, for a second system the jolida/MMG combo is a winner. 
Marantz or Denon?
There is an extremely in-depth discussion on the audioreview.com site on these receivers. Check under TechTalk/general discussion...John T. Canada has a lot of very useful general and specific information regarding the two receivers. Good luck!
