Waiting will mean you'll go 3 years without the joy of a home theater. Things may change in 3 years, but no so drastically that you'll wish you never bought the system.

The speakers will last you MANY years. You already have a TV, so that's something you won't need for 3 years. You can get a good receiver for about $800 that will run the system and keep you happy for at least 3 years....maybe you'll want to replace it in 3 years, maybe not.

And as far as projectors go? If you got one of the best LCD's out there now (Samsung 55"), you'll pay almost $5000. You can get a GREAT projector (Epson 6500UB) AND a 103" screen for about $3500-4000.
