I agree with Audiokinesis. Three Marquee's is probably a bad idea. I tried to tweek a theater that had 3 5000c Meridian center channel speakers in the same configuration. It never sounded good no matter what I did. You have the right idea matching... 
Projector with very low noise fan
DWIN made this fanless CRT projector the HD-700. Maybe you could find a used one at a good price?http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_7_3/dwin-hd700-crt-projector-8-2000.html 
Center Channel Upgrade: Pls.recommend MTM w.Ribbon
Match your left and right speakers. Buy the same make and model if possible. Anything else WILL be a compromise. A horizontal M-T-M array, in general, is not a good design for horizontal dispersion. A vertical M-T-M array will give you better resu... 
Music you didn't like at first... but now?
I am a big local music fan in the Portland area. Most bands I frequent have a female lead vocal singer. A bass player named Brian Cutler played with a number of musicians in the area. At one point he decided to go out and make his own album. I pic... 
upgrade cd or speakercable ?
Between these two up-grades I would go for the CD player since it's first in the signal path. Garbage in = garbage out. I'm not saying the DV88+ is bad, but there is probably room for improvement.Without knowing your whole system it's hard to make... 
Need help on center speaker to match with my front
Buy a used pair of Linn Index speakers. Anything else will be a comprimise. Find two pairs and you will have a perfectly matched 6.1 system. 
Need help from TV Monitor Experts?
Loewe Articos 55 is pretty darn nice. This is a DLP rear projection set. 
Who makes the best Y connector?
It would be best to match with your interconnects. Some companies will custom make Y cables or adapters. Just ask. I had Kimber make some for me. 
krell vs. meridian pro
The 565 or the 568 would be a step up. The 565 does not use the windows based software and set up is cumbersom from the front pannel. Also, it only has 1 digital coax, 1 digital optical and one analog input. Your system must be very simple, or you... 
Center for B&W HT System
Center speakers are marketing gimicks for the most part. Match all your speakers including the surrounds if possible. I think you will be pleased with the results. 
Need Recommendations On Surround Speaker Package
Match all your speakers as close as possible. The same brand and model will give you the best results. Most sideways center channels are not designed for proper dispersion. Some speaker manufactures only sell speakers in pairs, so that can be a pr... 
Marantz 7400 vs Denon 3803
You probably won't hear a dramatic difference between these two. The Marantz is a really a Pioneer with the audio stages tweeked for better sound. The Denon's have always been among the best receivers. Using in-ceiling speakers will be your weakes... 
Anybody with Stewart FireHawk Screen?
I agree with Nighthawk's comments. As DLP projectors improve, installers are moving away from Firehawk and towards Greyhawk and 1-1.3 gain white screens. Personally I notice the Firehawk hot spots on one side or the other if I am seated off center... 
speaker cables for HT rears
Look into Silver Sonic for reasonable cost. Analysis Plus makes an In-wall rated cable as well. 
Left channel weak and scratchy?
Turn off the unit and turn the volume knob up and down fast a bunch of times. This will clean up the contacts in the volume pot if this is the problem.I would also recommend leaving the unit on all the time so it can thermally stabilize.
