$3000 Speaker/electronics budget

Hi All,

I am a bit new to the home theater system market and am asking this question on the behalf of a friend. He has $3000 to spend on speakers,amplification and processing. I do not believe the DVD source is part of this budget. Any suggestion as to what components can be obtained at this price point would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I am a big Arcam fan myself so I feel pretty good about recommending that brand to him. As far as the DVD is concerned, I am sure it is in his budget, but he just mentioned that 3K was for amplification and speakers. I think he wants 5.1 at least. Please keep the great ideas coming.

Thanks

Thank you for the introduction to the various aspects that need to be taken into consideration. From my recollection, his room size is about 15' wide x 20' deep. The orientation is a bit strange in the respect that the TV and current speakers are shifted off to the right of the center. I will assume that he and his wife will remain in the center of the speakers. The optimal seating arrangment is set for 2. I would expect that the system would be used mostly for movie watching.
