I wasn't gonna touch this one, but have to.

I'm with Brandon.

1) Balancing out the DVD and tv combination is a worthwhile investement of your time. The tv will only look as good as any thing connected to it, so a $100 DVD player just won't cut it. I Promise. If you're thinking $1500 is too much, then go lower. Peronally, my $1500 DVD player makes the $499 tv it is connected to look surprisingly good. (my bigger tv died)

2) If you want to play MP3s, consider a $199 CD player that will also do MP3. Everbody has CDs still, dn't they?

3) If you do get a turntable, remember that you'll need a phono preamp in line between the table and the preamp, unless you're using a receiver with a built in phono stage. I recommend Music Hall turntables.

4) No Bose. There are hundreds of other speaker mfrs who spend more on R&D and less on advertising than Boso. This usually translates to better sound and compatibility.
