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

dynaudio xeo's are a good choice, along with the mentioned nad 3020, or perhaps a wyred for sound mint? Wadia 170 and 150...

wired 4 sound mint is tops in my opinion though

I'm using an HRT II+ dac, NHT passive, and NHT M00 active speakers. Source is my music vault server. For better SQ and a bit smaller size, how about a Logitech Touch source to a Micromega DAC to a Lightspeed passive to the NHT or maybe quad powered speakers. Or a mac-Minin server to a Dragonquest dac to the Lightspeed and then your choice of powered monitors.

I use a Cabridge Audio receiver and Focal Dome speakers to create shockingly good music.
