$10,000 to spend...Need suggestions. (1 Viewer)

[PhilipW]

I am in the process of designing and building a new home that will have a dedicated HT. The dimensions will be 15'x21'. I need to purchase the following:
Front Projector & Screen
DVD Player
Receiver
Speakers (In Wall)
DirectTV HDSTB
Wiring (audio and video) not included in $10,000 but suggestions will be appreciated.
My current setup is a Pioneer SD-532HD with a Sony HTIB and Sony 360 DVD player. This will stay in the living room, however, I'm not really sure (as you can see) what to get for a dedicated theater. Now I'm not asking for specific pricing, but a general idea with name brands & where to find this equipment.
Here in Oklahoma City there are only 2 "high end" stores that I have found. One deals in mainly Pioneers, the other in Mitsubishi & Sony. Neither deal heavily in Projectors. Also, any suggestions with video distribution systems would be appreciated.
If this sounds unreasonable, also let me know. You won't hurt my feelings.

Thanks in advance.

Phillip,
$10,000 Unreasonable? Heck no. Here's what I spent on equipment for my theater.
Proj - Sony 1272Q, 800 Hrs, used,execellent, $3000
Screen - Draper 106" Diag 16:9 Cineperm, $500
Doubler DVDO iScan Plus - $500
Toshiba SD 5109 DVD Player - $500
Denon AVR 3300 Receiver - $800
That's $5300 for the Electronics so far, leaving $4700 for speakers and satellite gear. Sat stuff will eat into the $700, so you've got $4000 left for speakers. Not bad!
Bass is really important, so I'd spend $1500 to $2000 on subwoofer(s), the rest on the mains. Should be do-able.
If you don't want to mess with a CRT unit, the LCD and DLP PJ's are getting better, but you'll spend around $6k for a decent one, mail order.
Hope this helps.
