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,

You're going to get a ton of responses that differ as this could really be a preference system. If I was given 2k to build a system, I'd go this route:

Paradigm Studio 20 v.3 = 600
Musical Fidelity x150 integrated = 650
Rotel RCD 1072 = 500
Music Hall MMF 2.1 = 300

I realize I'm 50 bucks over, and I didn't include stands or cables. But, that's where I'd start for sure. With an 8x10 room, the studio 20's will have plenty of bass.. Those prices are based on used equipment in good condition.

I've owned that setup with the exception of the MMF 2.1. I had the MMF 5 but not with this setup.
