Do you intend to use this for home theater as well? If not consider the Harmon Kardon 3490 2ch receiver and the 3390. It has plenty of power and has a phono input and subwoofer out in case you ever plan on adding a sub. These are a lot of bang for the buck.

This is a real bargain and will allow you to purchase some decent speakers like the B&W 685's, Monitor Audio S1's, RS1's, Energy C-200's, PSB B-25's, NHT Classic two's or Classic Three's to name a few. These are all bookshelf speakers and will need speaker stands to sound the best.
