humble home theatre

Hi Goners!

Always many willing to assist the vinyl newbie but it's my lack of all knowledge of home theatre that needs your help!

My wife and i would like to purchase two plasma or lcd/led t.v.'s with a player/processor and two band tuner [my home is wired for each room] and we feel that a 3.1 system with active sub will be more then enough in the living room and just a full range pr. speakers and like equipment for the bedroom...

Can anyone suggest what brands to look at and what brands work well together/ Perhaps one company makes an "all in one" piece?

Lastly, we would like the profile of both speakers and electronics to be small and slender.
Our budget for the two rooms including interconnects,speaker wires is 15 to 18k.

Thanks,
azjake

Plasma units use far less power than they did just a couple short years ago. If you have glare issues with windows and such you may want LCD but I think thats often over stated. If you want best motion for sports and movies go Plasma to avoid motion blur or get a LCD with 240hz technology, 60hz is awful, 120hz is better but 240 is best.
Plasma offers 600hz, better colors and better black levels so if you can go Plasma for atleast the most viewed unit I would do that. Go LCD for secondary use.
Audio side is so wide open and more often then not a matter of style so I wont offer much there.
