are you wanting it for movies and music? if both, personally, none of the above.. with speakers of the quality of the xt's your really looking at seperate pre-processor/power's, the arcam av9/p7 would be great, the new audiolab looks quite good value, considering its reboxed tag mclaren..
www.audiolab.co.uk
also the new rotel range of amps are stunningly good www.rotel.co.uk , their new rmb-1077 power amp is excellent,paired with the rc-1068 pre/processor will give you the quality you'll need for both hc and hifi
unfortunately, its gonna be the sharp end of 2.5k...
