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.

If you are looking to buy new I would recommend the Outlaw RR2160 integrated amp/reciever. I had been searching for an easy to use integrated for my wife to stream digital files in our living room used mostly for background music. After auditioning a few amps from Hegel and Peachtree, I settled on the Outlaw driving a pair of Proac Studio 3’s.

For the $799 price tag, it has a lot going for it including bass management, multiple digital and analog connections, DLNA streaming and it sounds fantastic.

With your budget of 2k, I would think a used pair of Kef ls50’s or the recommended Ryan r610’s (I have owned these and they are great) and the Outlaw would make a fine system and you may have a little bit of money left over for some decent stands and cabling.

One thing I did that made a nice improvement was replace the stock power cord with a Zu Mission and the amp/preamp jumpers with Kimber PBJ’s.

Best of luck with your search and enjoy your new system!
