Suggestions for Best Complete System -$1,000 or less???


We are gathering contenders for a shootout. The $1,000 top limit is the obvious challenge.
Streaming seems the best source to use as TT and CD Players would price it all too high.
The Results may appeal to people who are younger and are comfortable streaming.
So please list some possibles you have read about or own that fit the bill.

Some good suggestions so far...

I would suggest a Bluesound Powernode 2i and a pair of Elac B5.2 speakers as a simple one-box $1000 system, but I hear that the Powernode's price is going to increase by $100 soon due to the tariffs.  Maybe look for a used Powernode 2 (I would avoid the first generation).   That said, if you already have a laptop or PC that you can use to stream, connect that to an NAD 3020 ($449) and there are a host of really great speakers in the $300 - 500 range (Elac, Monitor Audio, Wharfedale, etc.).

I've got a Powernode 2, Elac B5 speakers and S10 subwoofer in a second system (total cost <$1,200), and it is a very nice system to listen to.
