The Emotiva pieces I have liked the best are their CD players.
In your position, I would consider the following:
Musical Fidelity M2si Integrated amplifier @ $600. Super deal at the price. I own this amp and MF products for the last 20 years. Reliable and nice sounding.

Or
and here comes the Class D flames. No matter, great sounding amp.
CDA 250 power amp @$450

with this preamp
Parasound Zphono @ $250

All in at $700.
I own both set-ups and these would do your speakers justice and allow you add a turntable at some point.
