Basic system for living room


I am looking for a decent sound for our living room/Library- with budget of 2k for speakers (bookshelf size) and power source (integrated amp) for 2k. The space of the cabinet can only accommodate 20 inches in depth with ample height and width space. The music will primarily be playing at a low volume. 
I enjoy more hi-crisp treble sound. 
Thanks.

Do you prefer digital
music? Library of digital files? Computer as source? Will you stream music? How about analog? Turntable and record albums? What kind of music? Jazz and acoustic or pop and rock? Classical? Size of room? Remote access important?
There are infinite choices but providing more info can lead to more refined suggestions.
I like the Parasound Integrated amp and whichever bookshelf speakers you might like. Listening is everything. Brands I would audition are Paradigm, Monitor Audio, KEF, B&W, and many others. If you get the amp new, you could buy a pair of speakers second hand and get something special. B&W would be one I would look at-  like 805. If you have the floor space the new Magnepan MMGi with the mid-bass module would sound tremendous.
