I leave the budget question to your wallet, but at whatever price you decide, I would buy used if I was tight on cash. And $2K on speakers is tight compared to a McIntosh amp. Also, if you buy used speakers today, maybe you can sell them used for just a bit less in a few years when you can trade up?
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to damage a new McIntosh amp--Power Guard, Sentry Monitor. You might ask your dealer about this
