best small room 2 channel set up for under $2ooo


I want a good sounding system that would work in a 10 by 11 room with speakers that would fit on a book shelve. I know really small speakers are limited in some areas but what would be a good book shelve system for under$2000 that would work in a small bed room. Thanks

You can get great rig for that money.
Shop used......that will save you a bunch.
Match speakers and amp.
Pick the source that will fit your predicament, budget and lifestyle.

Here is an examples from what I found interesting on used market (keep in mind that your preferences might differ from mine):

For amplification:
- Eastern Electric MiniMax Tube Integrated - small, sweet, great sounding integrated amp. $600
- Onix Melody SP3 $500

Speakers :
Zu Tone monitors (non on AgoN at the moment) - expect to pay around $1000-$1200 for a used pair

For source .....well there is a dilemma.
You can get a decent CDP or use one of the network devices like Logitech Duet or use you PC/Mac and external USB DAC.

Or there is also above mentioned Shanling MC 30 which is basically all you need (integrated amp, CDP and iPod docking station.......it has radio too)
You can probably find it used for or around $800.

Decco is nice.......has some nice features and name behind its design as well as Little Dot - chip (digital amp) integrated amp with tube pre-section.

Hope it helps a little..............unless it makes it even more complicated.;)
