Connect with appropriate cables, hook up an Oppo BDP-83 for excellent Bluray/DVD/DVD-Audio/SACD playpack

You're on your own for the screen

Excellent, I see you did not buy into that "center" speaker bunk. Give me three three matching speakers or give me death!

I was planning on using the PS3-Slim for my Blu-ray needs since it can now bitstream DTS-MA, but I am rethinking that since I'd like to have DVD-A, SACD capability.

Receiver wise, I'm looking at the Denon 4311ci (~130 watts/channel)
For speakers I like the Axiom M80's for fronts and center. QS8's for the Surrounds and of course a subwoofer

The screen will be a Center Stage from Seymour AV. Acoustically Transparent with masking panels to covert my 110" 16:9 screen into a 110" 2.35:1 screen as needed.

A Panasonic PT-AE4000 projector to help pull off that trick until I can add an anamorphic lens.

Cables from Blue Jean Cable.

And if you come out and help me build it, I'll play the 1812 concussion section for you!
