Want to setup basic home audio system


As the title states, I am looking for advice on the main components required to get a basic home audio system going for under 1k. When I do get to save more money, I am open to add more into the system. For now, what are the basic components of a home audio system that I mainly need to focus on right now? I am not looking to get a home theater setup. ONNLY LOOKING TO GET HOME AUDIO SYSTEM FOR MUSIC

what is a starting budget that I should begin with? Also, I’m looking over all these online used audio marketplace and you’re right. There are some hidden gems, but I feel like I need to get educated more to even know which are useful for me.

yogiboy:
Damn!! I never realized there’s a website that shows global sellers. Some of the speakers in Europe cost much less than what US sellers are selling it for. I’m just trying to not get destroyed by shipping charges. Thanks for that! I have been looking over the listing all morning.

corelli:
There’s just so many different equipments and options that my head is spinning. After speakers, what is the next equipment I should focus on?

ovinewar:
35% rock(ranging from slow rock to heavy metal)
25% soul and r&b( a lot of the older stuff mostly)
30% classical and jazz(orchestras and violin/piano heavy pieces)
10% country(90% old like hank William/10% new like Stapleton)
I apologize if the country music choice is confusing. You can just assume I listen to more of the older country classics. This is will be an ongoing journey for me. I play the violin and guitar and have been using headphones when I want to learn a new song. With this system, I want to be able to play along and also hear the music at the same time. Also, I do enjoy sitting and just listening to my favorite songs. When I do get more money saved up, I am definitely willing to upgrade my home audio system from time to time. I am open to new and used equipment. If there is something that is going for a good price, I am willing to buy it and sell of my older equipments. I don’t know if the last sentence makes sense. 



diripio,
Your budget is entirely up to you.
The higher your budget, the greater your choices.
Start with the speakers.  You listen to a wide range of music.  This will make it difficult on a tight budget.  Might be better to start with decent monitors that get the midrange and treble right knowing you could always add a sub later as funds allow.  Then you need to focus on getting an integrated that complements your speaker choice, sonically and electrically (able to drive them well).
