More thoughts...if this is really for the kids. I'd use the KISS principle and keep it simple depending on your kids ages. Get a rear projection big screen HDTV, about $3k, and a reciever. The Outlaw 1050($499) is frequently mentioned as user friendly reciever. Unless, you have a really large room I'd suggest Ascend Acoustics 170's or Totem Dreamcatchers, go to their sites and read the reviews, both sell around $1500 with a sub. Pick a progessive scan DVD player of your feature/price choice and you should have a quite nice, no fuss, kid friendly set up for under $6k.
Help a complete vidio idiot
I have a reasonable audio system I am fond of but have decided to get a home theater for the kids. I plan on a used crt projector (I have knowledgable friends who will help set it up. I am reasonabley computer literate and am leaning towards a pc rather than a dvd but would value opinions. I am also interested in thoughts of reciever vs separates and any brand suggestions. Finally speaker thoughts. I would like to keep the spend around 2-3000 on the reciever/separates and near the same on the speakers (including subwoofer(s)). This may be asking to much but you guys have always had great ideas before. Don't care if it is used or new. I by the way will not be moving to the darkside, just want to do something for the kids. Thanks as always
