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

You can get a very good system for 1000-1500 if you choose wisely. Dont walk it up once you set your budget because there is always a step up ad as Carpathian suggest- it never ends. Start basic- speakers, integrated amp, source.
