A good choice would be a used A-5 or A-5.5 - see the review on 6 Moons at: 6moons audio reviews: Musical Fidelity A5 CDP*& Integrated

These integrated amps are available used at well under $2,000, are very well made and possess prodigious clean and pure power. They include a very good phono stage and sound terrific.

Julian...the A5 integrated with its matching A5 CD player was my entree into high-end audio with my Thiel 2.4s. I agree. Great integrated amp. However, I would pair it up with a speaker that is a bit on the warm side, which the 805S may be but I am not familiar with it, so don't know.
