I'm helping a friend (and my wife's boss) with a home theater system. He's a couple of months away from having his new home finished and has dedicated a space for his HT room above his garage. The room will be 13' X 18'.
He has a budget of $6500 for a complete system.
He wants a PJ and we are planning on a 1HD/Z1. This will use up about $1250 of his money with the mount.
He wants a receiver (5.1), speaker system with sub, and DVD player. I think with his budget we can come in at under his $6500 and still have a nice system and throw in a nice remote. Since I'll have to be the one to program it I'd say an MX-600 is appropriate to handle the job so that's another $200.
So basically we have about $5000 to play with for a receiver, DVD player, and speakers with a powered sub.
I'm not up on receivers at all as I've pretty much always had separates.
I would like to welcome some good combo suggestions for the $5000 we have to spend. (Who was it that said it always fun when you are spending someone elses money?)
EDITED: I changed the original figure from $7500 to $6500 because I had forgot he wants to spend about $1000 for a HTIB for his great room.
