Hi all
I'm absolutely exhausted from doing research on purchases. Have spent all too much time with my friend google on a car (Acura MDX) and a laptop (Sager). Going to try and go against my nature with this purchase! I've never purchased any high quality audio equipment before, so this is a new for me.
What I'd like to get: receiver, 2 book shelf speakers (they dont have to be tiny, just not floor standing monsters) and maybe a subwoofer or center channel if this is what gets recommended.
I'd like to avoid the speakers being too large, as I'll be transporting them across the country (Canada) and have a lot of other stuff going with me.
Speakers will be used for music and movies, and their home will be at the cottage for the next couple of months. After that, as I'll be looking for a new place, I have no idea what the future home will look like. I'm thinking these will be replaced by proper tower front speakers and be used in a bedroom or as surround speakers at a later date.
Budget - $500 - $1000 for a receiver (even if the speakers get upgraded at a later date with towers, the receiver should be good)
$250-$1000 for the speakers. (is it worth it to spend considerable $$ on bookshelves?)
Though not sure whether I should spend more and add a subwoofer or center channel if you think I'd get a much more enjoyable listening experience than just a 2.0 setup. My budget can go up considerably, but I hesitate to spend too much not knowing what the ultimate floor plan will look like in the new house.
Appreciate any help

. IMO the best sub under $300, with solid output to 25hz, and a flat mid bass response.
