Request for a recommendation on a small footprint floor standing speaker

New? Used? Maximum budget?

just confirming, ~$800 budget?
amplification (now and future)?
source?

Thank you very much for the recommendations. I appreciate it!

I'm fine with new or used. Speaker budget is up to about 2k. Amp budget is up to about 2k. (I've had recommendations for Schiit Vidar if I go with the Magnepan LRS.) 

The Magnepans are attractive from a value standpoint.... everyone says they are wonderful for the price. That's appealing to my frugal side. 

My source is strictly digital. I just signed up for Amazon Music HD. I'm still figuring out the best way to get music into the amp. For now I'm using a Dragonfly Red from my iPhone and a headphone to RCA cable. 

I also probably need a DAC with volume controls and preferably tone controls too. Does such a thing exist? 

This forum is fantastic, thanks for your help. The learning curve in hifi is steep. 

Although the PMC twenty5.21i speaker is the most compact model in the new PMC range, there’s nothing small about the sound, which has the impact you’d expect from a much larger cabinet.

I have my PMC speakers sitting on my Cabinet (no speaker stands) and it sounds wonderful.

OP,
I love your original suggestion of the Ohm Walsh tall 1000's. They are a fun little speaker! I always look for them but they never come up in the used market. 

Have fun!
