New Speakers/Amps

Hey Folks

New to Audigon and a noob at speakers/amps! All i have is a decent ear for sound!

So, I am looking to set up a very basic system with 2 speakers, sub and an amp. I will be using it purely for listening to music thru an iPod or maybe a record player and occasionally use it for house parties.

Could u please advise me on what i can realistically get for my budget?

Speakers- 1000-1300 $
Sub- 500 $
Amp- 500-800 $

Thanks in advance and best regards,
raj
