Best HT System with Projection Screen for $14,000


I have cleared $14,000 in cash from the wife to turn my basement into a 7.1 Home Theater. I am going to go with a projection unit and screen rather than a TV. The sheet rock is not up yet, so I have plenty of options for wiring.

I also would like to supply 3 other rooms in the basement for a zone two.

I have not decided on anything yet, but leaning towards Denon electronics (3803), the Denon DVD/SA/DVD-A player and Paradigm speakers.
I will need bulk speaker wire, and interconnects as well. Wondering if component switching is must, or just a nice to have feature.

Looking for sound quality and realiabilty.

If anyone has just go through something like this and has some advice, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

John

Thanks everyone for their advice. I was on vacation and it was nice to have some great responses when I got back.

PRPIXEL- I heard the Anthem system last week and almost bought it. I hear what you are saying about separates. I have a lot more shopping to do, but I feel like I getting closer.
Thanks again!
