Have you thought about getting a cabinet maker to quote you up something?
I’m sure you could send them a picture of what you have on the link and the dimensions you are looking for and get some quotes back.
A good place to start would be local Facebook groups. People ask about that stuff all the time on mine.

I would definitely go bespoke.
I had a cabinet made up for my computer with slightly odd dimensions and spec (opening door on the back of the cabinet for example) and also then was able to spec having ventilation panels perfectly in line with fans as well. it didn't actually cost me too much more than a normal cabinet, but i'm not in london and I was worried about the final finish massively either...

£2k is a big budget for a cabinet unless you really want a statement piece. I've made little cupboards to customers spec for alcoves in mdf, painted white for £500. Doors and drawers add to the price and you can save quite a bit if you paint it yourself. It would definitely suit you better than what you have now.
I am very busy at the moment but there will be lots of people who only do this kind of work who can quote you.

Not the best solution if you’re not confident hanging doors straight and the like, but for something simple you can get sheet materials cut to size online. Measure up and design your own flat-pack cabinet, plug the sizes of each component into the website, then it all gets delivered in about a week perfectly square and true. Finish it how you like then screw it all together with corner blocks.
I think I used these

Could crosspost this across a whole bunch of threads, but this one seems appropriate enough for starters. Been trying to find something a bit (ok, a lot) more attractive than the attached for my AV related stuff but come up completely blank so far.
Realised recently that everything other than the receiver (IR remote, but also useful to see the display) could be completely enclosed, exception being the PS5 cos of concerns over heat. Ideally I'd like to use more of the alcove's width rather than stack everything vertically.
Problem is that standard cupboards don't tend to be deep enough (min 400mm for the amp) or have any provision for rear access or cabling, hi-fi units are mostly open, and TV units are all too wide (max 840mm).
I did find this, which would be perfect if it was 40% wider and about 20% of the price. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
