Instead of going 5.1 right away, you could buy a great 2.1 or 3.0 depending on the center speaker availability and sales, and save up for the subwoofer or center and surrounds to buy later.

Not a soundbar but here you go:
Used Polk S15 for $140.
Used Polk S30 center channel for $110.
Dayton SUB1000 for $120.
Pioneer VSX-530 receiver for $130.
That's $500 flat.
That would be enough for a budget 3.0 setup. You might be able to squeeze a 3.1 setup, but you would likely want to upgrade your subwoofer eventually.
​
Budget 3.0:
​
Super-budget 3.1:
Run the S15 on receiver for a bit in 2.0 Stereo, add a center for 2.1, add a sub for 3.1, add floor standers and move S15s to surrounds for 5.1, add a 2nd sub for 5.2..........Over 3 weeks or 3 years...........

Oh man that's harsh...that's a lot of gear! You're a sadist JB! LOL!
​
I guess I would have to get another 5.1 setup for the living room as I use that everyday.
AVR - Yamaha RX-V583 refurb $280

That should about spend my 1k budget with enough for some stands ect. if they weren't stolen too. This just makes me think I've spent way too much money on my audio gear LOL
