Don't dismiss Marantz if that's what you really want, although the model numbers might change the units may have some improvements but still similar in price points and what the unit would match to. For example if I bought a 5002 integrated and waited to buy a new CD player I could still match it to a 5004 CD player.
To be honest the regular Marantz may be a good match for your CV's but a reference integrated would be a bit overkill, IMO. Meaning I'd consider the 11s to be "high end" where CV is not generally recognized as a "high end" speaker. You typically want to match your gear within a range of performance, unless knowing you will upgrade in the near future.
If I had only $100 to spend I'd look for a used home theater receiver, you won't need the latest home theater features and an older receiver would still have a built in DAC. Marantz makes excellent HT receivers, this may be a great option for you to have both Marantz & digital inputs.

Oh so that how marantz move on. I was confused on to what that 5 at the end means. :D I'm not looking at the marantz 11's That's well over 1k I think. I did consider both 5005 and 6005, but That mid knob on 8005 is tempting.
I have a fairly small room, well at least for now. but not planning on changing speakers any time soon. :D
While looking for a solution, I stumbled upon small DAC's basicly wires go in different wires go out connects to whatever you need it to connect, might work. Assuming they are any good?
First I need to see how much I will earn this month cause work is a mess right now. Not a bad kinda mess, I just don't know exactly how much I am getting paid, there is talk of another bonus.
Don't take short cuts on your sources. Save up for a good DAC or Marantz NA7005. I've found amps come and amps may go. But a good source seems to always stay with you.
Just my thought of the day.

WildStyle, delayed gratification can be a good thing, especially if you need to worry about what you will be paid. Why not save for what you may want once you understand what that is? Time is on you side. You can use it to learn and sharpen your judgement.

Nah, it's not that. I have been putting money aside for months, to get speakers, Wasn't all that fancy and all I was doing was research, it just so happened that I have been getting bonus from work for the last 2 months. So I came to XLS 215 not XLS 15. And that where the other bonus comes in, didn't really plan for any fancy amp but getting a temp one for a bit... That second month bonus was pretty nice. Maybe I overyped it, but as I said been told that we will get another bonus and this one real hefty one, oh YEAH! So all in all Doing good money wise. I just don't want to spend any money that I haven't put towards speakers. While bonus money is my random spending money...Well in any case, as I said depends on what I get next month.
