You got $10000, build a system.

Speakers + amp + pre/pro + cd/dvd player optional

Here's the preference

1. Music and Movie are equally important.
2. Speakers: front, center, side, rear, sub(fronts with enough base can substitute sub)
3. 7.1(dolby ex/dts es) pre/pro + power amp combination
4. you can go +- $2-3000

"Eandylee":

Search this board ("Best of") and look for a thread titled "Home Theater for $10K", and look for my post under that thread. I have written a post under that VERY thread last summer. The system I have put together under that thread would be the same one I would put together here. This is not only a home theater, but this can also be an audio system if you're willing to manipulate the controls on the pre/pro. None of the components has not changed that much (if any at all).

Good Luck!!!!!

Pre/pro - Anthem AVM20 - $3500.00; Amp - Aragon 2007 - $3000.00;Speakers - Atlantic Tech 270 THX system for $2800.00 +a pair of 171`s for rears for $330.00;DVD player - Philips Q50 - $300.00. It all adds up to around $10000.00, and for extra $2-3000 you could get a good CD player (like Rega Planet or Jupiter) or maybe even universal player for DVD A and SACD and cables.
