for a little something different, take a look at some speakers from Danley Sound Labs that are now being used in the home. Very efficient and dynamic as well. 
Can these speakers handle Neil Young's Le Noise?
I just saw a pretty amazing speaker demo on youtube. Go over to youtube and type in JTR growler duo & triple 8 top. make sure you watch the cool ending. I think those speakers will do the job and for a bit less money as well. 
Class A multichannel amplifier?

Pioneer HT amps...what one...newbie
Go over to videogon and check out the pioneer elite vsx23, I believe. It is new, has all the latest features and is being sold for $499, new. 
Budget pull down screen "sleepers"
check out the screens from Monoprice.com. The reviews are good and the prices are excellent. They have a 4x3 100" electric, which will give you about a 90" diagonal 16x9 image for $192.00
