So explain this to me. If you're going to cut corners on the TV because "99% of the viewers out there won't be able to see any discernable differences between those at the Mitsubishi," then why, for the love of God, would we buy a $1500 DVD player? Those two sentences simply don't work together. The only reason I can possibly see to get a DVD player like that is if we have the absolute top of the line TV, which we've already established we don't have. Give me some evidence as to why it's needed and I'll think about it. Besides:

And what's with all the anti-Bose sentiment? My experience with Bose speakers has been nothing but good. Of course, that is generally with older systems... I haven't bought good speakers in 4+ years. Maybe things have changed.
Also, small speakers are a must. White is a very close to must. Large black speakers, even "slim towers" aren't gonna fly. This isn't MY choice, remember, so don't try to convince ME. Besides which, these speakers are going into an existing configuration, where the wires hang out the wall near the ceiling. Towers don't fit that equation.

... Where's the comparison?
I'm curious about that unit, though. It sounds very much like what I was thinking. I couldn't, however, find it on the website. Model number/release date?
Regarding the turntable, I don't think we need to spend much on this. She wants to be able to play her old 33 LPs. She's not going to DJ with it, though. I imagine it's more of a nostalgia thing than a music thing.
I was planning on adding $100-200 for cables, depending on what was needed.
