Help - Need Audiophile advice on small systems

Hey guys - I need some help - I want to give someone I know a really good Stereo system for a present. I would LIKE to give a real good quality audiophile system w/ all the latest Dolby Digital/EX /Pro Logic II/ DTS-ES/ NEO 6, DVD-Audio, SACD, DVD-RW, CD-RW, DTS-CD, VCD, MP3, multi channel surround bells and whistles, etc.

VERY Big problem - they have EXTREMELY limited space available (Very small studio/loft apartment). Due to that single fact - I need to find a quality MINI sized system.

I have never been impressed with mini or micro systems - I have never found one that came close to a full blown system. IMHO most seem to be made with the teen age rapper or gamer in mind rather than the audiophile.

Does anyone know of a really nice one they could recommend?

Looking through Bose, Cambridge, Sony, Pioneer, and B & O, just make my quest seem less likely....

Thanks for the help...

I certainly would not object to spending $5 - 10K on a stereo system; I have spent 5x that on my home system and almost that again on my boat system...; To spend more than that you would have to convince me real hard...

I am not trying to get a surround sound home theatre system as a gift - just a great Audio system that could occaisionally be hooked in to a TV if they wanted. Again the problem is the small space - everything in the apartment is multi use due to space. I don't think giving them a full size component system that they have no room for would be a wise gift...

Thank you for your assistance.
