How about getting a JBL Paragon and putting all of your digital gear and amps right on top! Plenty of room!
Sometimes we audiophiles need to step back and consider that 5 foot tall, 200lb loudspeakers coupled with large "are those space heaters" monoblocs, a rack of other electronics and miles of thick cabling has very little appeal to most people who like listening to music.  A stylish, well built piece of furniture that sounds better than a Bose radio will attract buyers.
