You can go nuts with this stuff. What kind of money are you talking about? Lexicon is outstanding. Unfortunately, they are lagging behind with HD audio. He may want to look at the new Denon Pre-Pro. It should be of similar quality, if not better than the MC-12 for legacy audio, but will also have all the cutting edge features that the new Denon AVR’s have…And, it has the Realta video processor which is the best VP available to consumers right now.

For projector, depending on budget, Sim2 makes an outstanding unit and you can get them with a special long throw lens. Expect about 10K for a single chip 720P DLP machine. The JVC RS1X looks like a great machine. It has more lumens than the RS2, but the RS2 has better blacks.
