Home Theater - smaller 3 speaker systems

I'm currently using a very old Bose 3 in 1 system that can't even accept today's digital signals. I believe I run it on Stereo/PCM. It doesn't even accept HDMI.
In any event, I'm ready to move to a receiver setup that can take both DirecTv and Xbox one HDMI inputs with output to one TV. However, I'd prefer not to run a bunch of wires in my house to setup a full surround sound system. And I do not want a soundbar. I'm OK without surround sound, but want something with better quality and easier input management.
I'd ideally like to find a setup with 2 bookshelf type speakers and 1 sub. Is this something I need to build out myself? Any pitfalls with this setup?

Start with a decent yamaha, Denon, etc receiver and go from there. TONS of options under $500 for decent bookshelf speakers...KEF, Monitor Audio, HSU, Klipsch, cambridge...

Your receiver choices are huge. Denon makes solid units. Pick one based on your power and feature requirements.
A 2.1 system is a smart choice, consider 3.1; Left, Right, Center and Sub if you have room.
Remember, if you choose bookshelf type speakers they will need stands to be at ear level when you are seated.
Here are just a couple of recommendations:
HSU Package - LINK
Pioneer Speakers Full 5.1 Package - LINK
Note: you can buy just the speakers you need individually.
