Question Seeking Mini System Recommendations

[Scotophor]

Hi all, new member here.

I'm splitting this post into multiple parts to try to figure out why this forum's software is blocking it as spam. The error message I received, "Your content can not be submitted. This is likely because your content is spam-like or contains inappropriate elements. Please change your content or try again later. If you still have problems, please contact an administrator," is completely unhelpful. Change my content in what way?

I'd like some recommendations for a mini stereo system with the following features:
Detached speakers
FM radio
Aux input
Bluetooth input
Remote control
Tone controls (bass & treble at a minimum)
CD changer (3 discs or more) [pet peeve: why do so many sellers think a single-disc player constitutes a "changer"?]

Part 2:

These features would be nice, but none are mandatory and I wouldn't regret not having any of them:
AM radio
HD radio/DAB
Headphone output
Bluetooth output
USB or flash memory card (SD, etc.) input
Reads MP3, WMA etc. discs
Phono turntable or input
Subwoofer output
Surround sound (if present, will probably use in a 3.0, 3.1, 4.0 or 4.1 configuration - no center channel)
Loudness control
Equalizer
EDIT: add Wi-Fi/streaming capability

I would probably not use a cassette player if present.

Part 3:

Does not need to be in current production if readily available in excellent or better condition.

Part 4:

I've looked into the Sharp XL-BH250 and rejected it due to problems people have with it

Part 5:

stopping CD play whenever any random Bluetooth phone comes in range.

Part 6:

I've also looked at the Panasonic SA-AK100.

Budget is up to $1000 but I expect something very good can be had for much less.

This is to be installed in an apartment bedroom on a dresser, end table, or small shelf; space is very limited. I already have standard-sized separates that could build a decent system but they're just too big.

TIA for your advice!

OK, so I am at a loss about the spam block. By breaking up the message I was able to post the whole thing without deleting anything.

What's the issue that prevented me from posting it all together?

Do you look for new or used unit? On used marked, there are quite many good ones on ebay etc. To get new one, nearly impossible to get one. I will recommend to take a look on some solide used one for a good price. If you will look for a single CD hifi mini system, there is e.g. Denon mini HiFi RCD M41 DAB is still king of the road in iys class. Even speakers are quite good ones. BR.

Thank you for your suggestion! Used is OK, as long as good ones are fairly readily available. The M41 is a very good choice. Is there nothing similar with a CD changer? I see that it has several inputs, so I could add a changer to it - but that rather defeats the purpose of having a mini system.

Also, I see that I left out a feature from the "would be nice to have" list (Wi-Fi/streaming capability). I'll edit that now if I'm allowed to.
