Thanks. I should qualify the Bose thing. $12K was for the whole house - 4 'zones.' The living room one was $4K, and that included a (substandard) receiver, (substandard) DVD player, (substandard) music storage/server, and the famous(ly substandard) cube speakers. Bose insults aside, the 5.1 speaker budget is about $1500. Of course, many of you own a sub that costs that much, but these folks are not audiophiles. I'm sure they will thoroughly appreciate Axiom's entry level Epic midi setup, that is if their room doesn't diminish it too much.

I hadn't thought about the coffee table, I'm sure there will be one. Is that really another issue? It will probably be wood, but should I recommend some fabric on it?
