in my experience...

- don't get bose. They boost the treble and bass in the crossovers and give me a headache when I listen to them.

- since you're not being too picky here buy a second gen dlp Sony Wega: guaranteed good picture. Yes there are plenty of other worthy sets out there, but if you buy any Wega at this point in time it's gonna be a good buy (excellent performance, options, etc).

- for speakers, again there ARE plenty of good options. Best advice I can give is go into a specialty shop (NOT good guys or the like) with your own music and listen to the speakers, buy the one you like the most. If I had to recommend something out of the blue I'd go with:

or
http://www.definitivetech.com/loudsp...diocinema.html
I have a couple sets of their towers and simply love them, but I can't recommend those since they're probably too big. You won't be disappointed, trust me!

- Personally I've had a number of DVD players die on me. I had a $430 player die a while ago and I replaced it with a $80 Sony - while not as good in many ways, the picture is just as good. Just make sure you hook it up with component video cables (three cables for the video signal) or better (hdmi or dvi). The one thing that has changed recently is dvd players that are able to upconvert their signals to hdtv, so if you want the best picture spend the money and get one of these!

Good luck!
