Speakers: Between the two I would lean towards Swan speakers. Also ask your uncle to consider speakers from companies such as DefTech, Martin Logan, and at this price, even B&W. You must also insist that your uncle audition a few speakers before he confirms.

Blu-Ray Player: An Oppo BD-80 or BD-83 would be a better choice. Is your uncle also looking for a media player? Then something like a Dune would give him both Blu-Ray as well as media playing capabilities.

AV Receiver: If there is not too much hurry, it might be worthwhile to wait till Sept. New models will be coming out and they provide additional features.

Projector: Both options are good. You can also look at Epson which is also very popular.

Package: Companies such as Hsu, SVS, and other make better subs than most speaker companies. So if your uncle has the energy to take a little effort, it does make sense to look for a sub woofer from such companies.

Cheers

In addition to Venkat's advice, I also think your uncle should consider getting the HT room prepared -acoustic tiles, carpeting etc, to get the most out of it. I'm assuming that it is dedicated room.

I think it is better to go for popular projectors other then Sanyo and it would be better to keep away from 7.1 , 5.1 is most popular for fair reasons.

Hello Babu,

Since you have such a excellent budget, it will never ever make good sense to spend so much without you taking care for what George is saying, so in such a situation you have a long way to go, forget about even thinking of buying the gadgets because to do up the room itself will take a long time.

Best of luck.
