Size matters- recommend small system or component

Looking for advice on a small system or components. Maybe the speakers will stay 'large' or sats w/sub, but looking for either small-sized components or quality mini-systems, without giving up too much. Recommendation on a small integrated amp, receiver, tuner or cd player. Trying to limit the number and size of boxes. Tried a Denon minisystem - not bad. Had that early 90's Proton all-in -one unit. Good for the era. Any success stories?? Many of us have offices, WAF's, or in my case, downsizing issues.Will look new and used, so wide price range, say $500- $2k. THANKS

How about the new NAD D3020 ($500 list), and some Paradigm MilleniaOnes or Gallo speakers, with or without a sub? Since the NAD has a D/A, your can use your laptop to play, or buy a good inexpensive CD player.

Wyred for Sound makes some mini components in your price range.

thnx all for recommendations. I will look into them.
Had a Denon DM10 minisystem, Pretty good. Want better. My goal is to find compliment for my fairly big floor-standing speakers- they are fairly efficient- without taking up much room on the shelf in my condo.

I believe in the NAD D3020 recommendation. A friend of mine ordered one and I will get a chance to hear it. Reviews are positive, for what that is worth. A small footprint all in one box (DAC and integrated amp). A disk player or server would be required.
