For these people, I think they're going to do fine with finding a display that looks nice to them, and fits their budget. Then they can look at a receiver in that budget (Denon is fine, and you all know that), and some inwalls that sound descent in that price range, if that fits their lifestyle! Yes, better sound from same priced boxed speakers, but it's a tradeoff. I'd be willing to bet they'd be more than happy with the inwall solution, and some "multEQ" processeing on a Denon 2807, er whatever. So, they're not being steared in the wrong direction, IMO.
The only thing I'd qualify is if they wanted a smaller budget plasma/lcd, and maybe wether they could live with "exposed" speakers, or "on-walls", etc.
