Subtle speaker help needed

Quick version. I have been a member here many, many years. I don't even know how many. I have a question. My house that I built, sold and had lived in for 15 years had dedicated everything. HT room, music room. This house is a 96 year old traditional. I have gutted the place with all new everything. I have made several changes such as removing three walls that opened everything up. But, I have kept the traditional feel to the home though. I am now stuck on making a system that will blend in to the decore (sp)
Any suggestions ? I hate to say it but I have been giving the BOSE system a thought. Help before I do this.

The house that I sold in May of 05 had a KILLER HT room. 100" screen, Sony CRT projector, reclining HT seats. You name it. I got bored with it. It just isn't that important anymore. I have my music system that I can still be anal over. I am tired of the HT scene.
I want a simple system that will not distort. Thats it. As far as I am concerned it is not that difficult to reproduce a movie experience.
I would like to keep the price under $1000 for everything( which is speakers and receiver)

Just for the record. I have quite a bit of experience in building systems. I have just been out of touch for a couple of years and need your help.
Believe me I have thick skin. I was putting together Bose systems when half of these bashers weren't even born yet. They think they have a clue:) Let's all join in on the band wagon heh !

It also may be useful to look on Videogon and Audioreview if you haven't already done so. Obviously, you'd have to know EXACTLY what you wanted and at what price before considering a site like ebay or ubid, but you could get lucky and find a great bargain (or maybe not, too...).

Another approach: See what some other well-regarded manufacturers offer as package systems. One name to consider might be Denon, which is one of the better Japanese electronics companies, in my opinion.

Where the problem lies is I have very little if any experience with the low end stuff. I have always been trying to upgrade to the piece that satisfied me. I found that to be an endless battle. Especialy when you have OCD. It never ends. So now I have givin up on that. At least for HT, I'm not that easy.
Any help in this is appreciated.

Honestly, I think I might even be at the point where I might even go without surround speakers. It is just not that important to me right now.
