Kef q100 bookshelf speakers for $250
Yamaha R-S202 for $120
Sony DVP-SR510H For $45
—Total $415 and you get Bluetooth, radio, and DVD playback functionality as well
Or...
trade out the Yahama for the Nuforce DDA-120 ($250 on Amazon) and you’re $45 over budget but have great sound for the money. You can probably get a used CD player off craigslist for almost nothing to get back closer to the $500 budget if necessary.
