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. 
"Music under $1,000 all in"

Thanks

 Genelec powered monitors:

You need XLR to those speakers, as they are for the Pro/studio audience.  Try this as a DAC/streamer:

Topping D50s DAC connected to your computer,

used Yamaha integrated amp or receiver (AS-501, perhaps).

You might find the digital inputs on the Yamaha sufficient, even, and skip the DAC. I think it uses the ESS chipset. that would leave room for a Raspberry Pi streamer, if you wanted to go that way.

Speakers are tough, but Dynaudio and Wharfedale suggestions above seem like solid suggestions.
