Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater


A friend randomly offered to buy my current Klipsch Icon KF28 Best Buy specials and energy sub and I have been toying with getting something much nicer for a while. So here I am. 

I have a yamaha RXV477 that I will look to sell off as well to move to something better to pair with a new set of speakers. 

I’m mostly concerned with music listening. I have alll 16 or 24 bit recordings for playback from a current gen mac mini. I’ll be purely digitally sourced. I do not plan to add a turntable. 

I listen to jam bands, jazz, funk, downtempo/ambient, post rock, rock, 60’s-90’s stuff, bluegrass, some classical. 

The room is 15 x 20 with a vaulted ceiling. We rent here so I could, and likely will be in the next 6 months or so, moving to something without a vaulted ceiling. 

I’m looking for recommenced pairings for 2.1 speaker setup, amplification and DAC. Perfectly  okay with integrated amp as long as it’s a good pairing.  

I’m okay with buying used. 

Budget is ~$4k.

Thanks to everyone for your responses thus far.

One thing to note, I am not really concerned about streaming services or "internet of things" "connected devices" at all. 

I work in tech, and prefer to keep my home setup more simplistic so I'm not troubleshooting stuff all the time. Just want something reliable and well well paired.
What would you suggest bookshelf/stand wise instead of those Dalis if paring with the suggested setup? Not big on their aesthetic.
