I am someone who also has separate systems also. My audio system is located in my living room, and my home theater is located in my bedroom (where I do a majority of my relaxing, so it is fitting that I have my home theater there). With my Harman/Kardon AVR-210 Audio Video Receiver ($600.00 list), Toshiba SD-2700 DVD Player, and my Sennheiser HD-580 Headphones (I cannot use speakers because I live directly above someone), my home theater system runs about $1,000.00 as well. But that's before you add my Panasonic 27" Television and my Sony S-VHS Hi-Fi VCR (which although, it pushes the price to well above $1,000.00, it still keeps the price to well below $2,000.00).
But anyway, if you live near a Best Buy (or if there is one located somewhere in your area), why don't you go there and check out one of the Yamaha systems that they carry. If you find one, then you should be able to get an A/V Receiver, DVD Player, and a Speaker Package, all for around $1,000.00 or so. That ought to be sufficient enough for your needs right now.
Good Luck.....
