Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Projector recommendations

Doing some research for my cousin who is buying a new house in a few months and needs a complete system. He is considering a projector instead of a tv. He does 70% movies, 30% tv, and a combined total of about 15 hours a week.

Budget is about 3K to 4K for the projector and about 2K for the screen.

Screen size is unknowned at this point.. but problably in the 70 to 80inch range.

Recommendations appreciated.

I've already told him his audio system is going to be Epic 80/500.. that's non negotiable

Looking at HK, Marantz, Onkyo as possible receiver..maybe Yamy or Denon..not sure.

But I really need help with the projector as I don't know much about them, or installing them etc.. pros and cons.. lamp life, costs of lamps, etc..etc..

Thanks !
