You may want to visit the Virtual Systems page under LEARN on the main menu to give you some ideas.
I would also suggest scanning previous posts under HT. You may find your answers already there for you!

If not, then you may need to post a little more information on needs/current setup before anyone will be able to respond with much detail. For example,
1.what is more important - 2 channel (since you listed their musical tastes) or multi channel (since your heading lists HT).
2.What kind of TV do they have (or do they need a TV, too)?
3.Do they need progressive scan on the DVD player?
4.Will they want the flexibility to upgrade or is this a one shot deal? (Receiver vs amp-preamp question)
5.Is there any WAF (wife acceptance factor) to consider?
6.The size of room could be a factor.
7.Will they need a rack as well?
8.How about cabling?

Yeah, it gets crazy soon enough. If you know and could provide a little more detail, you'll have a better chance of getting some recommendations that you could pass along right away.
Best of luck,

Sean was posting at same time. He made all the assumptions that I asked about GMTA ;~) and gave you some good advice. I'd take Sean shopping with me ANYTIME.
