I'm in the market for an ordinary decent quality receiver, with a
built-in AM/FM tuner and a CD player. The only thing is that I
would like it to be small, to fit in a particular space. (I do
have vinyl records, but I plan to get a new turntable with a pre-amp,
so that shouldn't be a problem). I wouldn't think this would be
so hard, but so far everything I've looked at is either the usual
17" form factor (too big), or part of a mini-system that includes
speakers (which I don't need). The closest I have found so far is
this Yamaha A/V receiver:

This appears to do everything I want, but seems hideously
overcomplicated, full of bells and whistles that I'm never going
to use and would rather not be burdened with, and almost totally
reliant on the remote for most of its features. So can anyone
direct me to a reputable maker who makes something simpler, and
with a form factor smaller than 15" W x 15" D? (The height is less
important, but a significantly smaller width and especially depth
would be welcome). My preferred price range would be somewhere
between $150 and $400.
