Audition together if you can.
Amp
I personally i quit like Rotel/NAD. But Bluesound power node is really good. Surprisingly good in fact. But there are many options if you're willing to go second hand there are some really really good options for that sort of money.
Speakers
Really all i can say is pick what looks good and that you can live with and then audition those. They all sound good these days, TBH its more about your room than the speaker.
I'd also spend the most on the amp with the feature set you want. Ie does it need streaming functionality, inbuilt dac, room correction, HDMI the list goes on! that will really narrow your field by quite some margin. There are only a few with all that on board.
