Most subs have passive crossover, consider used gear

Yes,
Most reputable subwoofers (even if they do not have active amplification) will have a passive crossover (often adjustable in frequency, but usually at around 120 Hz) that will pass low frequencies to your sub and high frequencies to another set of outputs that you can run to a set of satellites. This way you can drive a passive (non amplified) subwoofer and a single set of speakers with your 2 channel reciever.
If you are really on a $1000 budget, you want the best sound possible and don't care about "multichannel this and Dolby digital that", I would start looking at used integrated amps and a cheap tuner (or used recievers). You can buy a lot of high quality sound on the used market for the money if you don't need the latest features. Ebay will get you cheaper stuff, but going to a local used gear shop will let you listen to and touch stuff. Your preference. I would consider Rotel in your selection process, too, nice simple, cost effective gear (similar to NAD).
FWIW
