looking online i can find a similar system for like $1000, and only in america.

If there are any thrift shops or used electronics shops near you, check into those. While back, I scored a sweet mid/high end 1990's AV receiver for $60 USD at a local surplus & thrift shop.

If you don't need all that stuff, like you can make do with a normal single CD player, you might be able to put a nice system together on the cheap. Esp if you are willing to collect it bit by bit.
