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

I have to chime in and recommend Mackie monitors for the third time.
I'd go with the Mackie HR624MkII with the thought that the HR824MKII would overpower your smallish room.
I have the HR624MKII as desktop speakers in my office and have lived quite happily with them for the last four months.
Can be bought at a local Guitar Center with 30-day, no question money back guarantee.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

My young son's name is McKennan, nicknamed "Mackie". Stupid reason to buy Mackie monitors for an office? I guess I can think of dumber reasons.

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.;)
