Looking for options for new music system

Please help. Looking for options
Ok starting from scratch. Have $2000.00 budget for a 2 channel system that can handle rock music to jazz. Needs to be able to take on some volume twisting. CD player and turntable a must. Room size is a small open loft (10 x 8), my seating area and desk would only be about 6’ away from speakers but the loft opens up to the rest of the home, Not much room to move speakers away from the wall. All equipment can be new or used, speakers can be tower or Bookshelf with stands. Thank you,
musicrover

2. Rega Ara speakers ($325 NOS from Arcadia Audio)
or NHT Classic 2 speakers ($450 from J&R Music. Both speakers execl with near rear wall placement.
3. Rega P1 turntable ($350 with cartridge)
4. Music Hall MMF CD25.2 cd player ($540)
5. Signal Cables

Another system whose components I have quite a bit of experience with. This goes with tubes big time, though it may bruise your budget by a bit ...

Prima Luna Prologue 1 ($1200 new; Upscale Audio)
Omega Mini-Me Loudspeakers ($390 new; single driver speaker from Omega Loudspeakers)
Cambridge Audio Azur 5409 DVD/DVD-A/CD player ($270 new from Spearit Sound)
Denon DP-300F Turntable ($300 new, built in pre-amp, free shipping from J&R Music).
