I have the Paradigm Studio Series v3: CC570, 100's, ADP 470's, 20's and a PW2200 sub comprising my system. I love it, but the cost for that 7.1 system is a bit more than they wanted to spend. The budget they allotted for equipment only is between $10,000 & $12,000 - that includes receiver or pre/pro/amp, DVD player, DirecTV, rear projector, screen, cables, speakers... etc. The construction to build the media room, its furniture and accoustic treatments are on a separate budget.

I'va managed to find the Receiver (1070 as mentioned earlier), DirecTV digital DVR and the DVD (the Oppo - Thanks Gonk!). Now its on to the Projector and speakers. This is a daunting task to say the least. I hope the extra info helps. Thanks again everyone.
