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

You could save some $$ from getting a Da-Lite screen instead of a Stewart. As for a projector, an NEC XG-135LC or XG-110LC would be a good bet at the $3500-4500 price range. If you want a really big screen, though, you will have to go with a digital projector. A good recommendation there would be either the NEC HT1000 with the panamorph lens or a Sanyo PLV-70HT (not the 60HT).

Get an HTPC with an Immersive H3DII for a scaler and you are set.
