Well guys, after weeks of agonizing over what to buy for my first home theater system, I am glad to say that I pulled the trigger today and placed it on order
Here is my original Post for help back in July:
My initial set-up was the following:
Here is what I placed on order today!
TV Sony KV30HS420 $999
Receiver Denon AVR-985 / 2805 $625
DVD Denon 1910 $242
Speaker Paradigm Monitor 3's (fronts) $384
Paradigm Atom 2's (rear) $169
Paradigm CC370 (center) $315
Sub SVS PB1-ISD $599
Cables Approx $200
System Cost: $3561
Total Cost With Tax $3823
I feel really good about the selection and even though I am spending $800 more than my orginal budget, I feel that I am getting a very nice set-up. Now I hope to god it will sound and look as good as what I have been telling my wife why I am spending so much money!
Please comment on the final selection and once again, thanks for the help

I am in the market to buy a TV, DVD Player, Receiver & Speakers. I am working with a few constraints. First is a Budget ($3000). Second, a wife. Well to clarify the second I should say a very picky wife (no big tower speakers, Must utilize existing entertainment cabinet). More or less she is telling me that I can have a great sounding system but she does not want people to walk into our living room and first think that we have decorated around the home theater system.
