Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K

I primarily liston piano, chamber and opera. I was wondering if anyone had experience producing a realistinc presentation for about $1K not including the source? My listening room is 14 x 20 X 8. I thought this could be accomplished by an inexpensive tube pre-amp ($200-300) and older vintage amp such as a Pioneer Spec 4 or Yamaha approx $300, and possibly some older klipsh's (KG-4) or newer Axiom's M22ti's approx $400. Am I on the right track? Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any recommendations for any of the 3 items?

I do NOT agree on the KG'4 slam, Actually for about 125.00 you would be smart to get some.Yes the bass is loose compared with ? etc., but hook these up to A Yamaha M-70,80,85,mx1000u,etc mated with a Superphon SP-100 buffered passive pre,cheap std 12 awg cable,w/some Heartland 89259w/Eichmans'interconnects,& you will be so very surprised at what you have just done,This set up is as fun & enjoyable with know fatigue as my $ 30.000 well matched main system, All for under a 1000, The Superphon might take some time to find , but well worth it.Stan Warren knows what he is doing with out a dought.
