Help me setting up a 2 channel system


Hi, I'm planning to set up a 2 channel audio listening room. The room is very small(10 x 11) and I have to sit against the longer wall. The budget for the total system (integrated amp and speakers) is no more than $5k.
I prefer standmount speakers with either front ported or a sealed design since i will have to put them fairly close to the wall. I'll be using Sony SCD333es as CD/SACD player. I prefer a intergrated amp for simplicity. I am looking at used market for them.

Any suggestions are welcome. I listen to mostly classical music. Below are the ones that have some good reviews. I am no audiophile so any suggestion will be a good advice for me. Thanks. Andrew.

I'm using the signature 805 and can't say enough good about it. Especially if set up properly. There will be some people that say they don't like the sound or that is has the classic "B&W house sound". Either way, I'm thrilled with what I hear.
