On a $1,000 budget (US), the most common pairing I've seen is Denon + Klipsch. At Amazon, you can get a Denon AVR 2112 and Klipsch Sub / Satellites for under $800 US.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Z0S7OM -- Denon 2112 - $468.85
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-HD-500-Compact-Theater/dp/B001XURGT4 -- Klipsch Sub / Sats - $249
If you can demo this pairing and you like it, I'd recommend this combo. I've never owned Denon / Klipsch, but I've demo'd many set ups. They're built to last and they go together.
You can pick up the Pioneer VSX-1121 (a step up from the VSX-1021) plus Polk sub / satellites for under $920

I had the Pioneer VSX-1020 and it was by far my favorite receiver to date. The problem is the warranty -- only 1 year. And I like my music screaming loud! I had one year with the VSX-1020 and it died. Perhaps, one day I'll reconsider Pioneer. Polk absolutely rocks, and at this price the sub / sats are a steal. No, they don't rock like towers, but are excellent starters. Music and movies are incredible.
The last speaker set I'd recommend are the Cerwin Vega sub / sats. They rock even harder than the Polks. If you haven't heard Cerwin Vega lately, I love 'em. The CMX line is thrilling for both music and movies, but at this price you might have to skimp on your receiver.
