Looking for a quality all around unit

I am selling off all my separates. Except for my turntable (and maybe my vintage speakers). I would like to find a one unit that can connect to a tv as well as the turntable and mp3 players. I am not impressed with those $2000 AV Receivers such as Denon/Yamaha/Marantz. Quality seem rather low. Want something with some heft and meat but simple. Not into all those blings. Reason for this thinking is that I live in NY. Space is gold here. So anything that can save space. output good sound and feel good spending a decent amount of dough goes a long way. Suggestions.
