any simple, no clutter systems?

[VoodooSamurai]

are there any simple, no clutter systems in the range of $300-$500? I bought a 5.1 set last year and there are too many wires, and something is broken. I have only used the central speaker from it. The receiver itself has a thousand inputs and half I don't even know what they do. Is there something that is simply plug and play, and includes everything? Doesn't need 5 speakers but maybe 2-3 to cover the whole range, and receiver? ... something simple like audioengine music speakers where you just plug it in simply, and play. thanks for the tips!
