Most of the "helpful" posters here will balk at replying to an open-ended question like yours. I'd suggest you provide more criteria such as:
• Room size
• Listening preferences (loud rock, jazz, orchestral music)
• Do you need a universal player or just CD?
• How far apart will the speakers be from each other, and will they need to be near a TV (meaning they must be shielded)
• Do you mind buying used equipment or must it all be new?
Based on your initial post, and your budget, I would recommend keeping it simple, and putting your money towards a high quality 2-channel system that includes an integrated amp, CD player, and speakers - leave the sub out for now. For 2k there are hundreds of possibilites, especially if you don't mind buying used gear. Have you ever heard planar speakers, or only dynamic speakers? You could even start with an Outlaw receiver or Onkyo integrated amp and CD player and a pair of Maggies (Magneplanar 1.6s) to get a true taste of high end sound - or the tried and true entry level Vandersteens - but you really should first try to list what's most important to you when listening to music.
Good luck
