 | Full HD Widescreen Projector
Buy new: $7,044.93 / Used from: $4,999.12 My dream system must have an over-sized movie screen and a TV for normal viewing. I'd have the Panasonic on the wall and the screen above it, ready to come down when needed.

 | Denon AVR-3806 7.1 Channel Home Theater A/V Surround Receiver-Black-REFURBISHED
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $599.12 This is simply the best receiver available. Numerous reviews all have this Denon at the top the list. This is a must-have and the starting point for great audio.

![Infinity TSS-4000 Powered Subwoofer [Charcoal]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21QN2V1VNYL._SL75_.jpg) | Infinity TSS-4000 Powered Subwoofer [Charcoal]
I'd probably go with Aperion speakers if I was buying somewhere else, but Amazon doesn't have them. Infinity makes good speakers also, and they're the best available on Amazon.
|
 | Infinity SAT 1100 Add-on satellite speaker for TSS-1100 Charcoal
I would not buy one of those packages home audio sets if I was buying a dream system. First of all, I want to be able to hide some of the speakers inside walls.
|
 | Infinity BETA 40 - Speaker - 3-way - black
Buy used from: $139.12 And also, I want some of them to be mounted to be seen. I also wants my speakers to be able to play music and fill the house with sound, not just provide audio for watching TV or movies.

 | 25ft Coax SVGA Monitor Cable Hddb15m/hddb15m
Buy new: $16.35 / Used from: $20.04 You won't see any Monster Cables on this list. Many tests have proven their high-priced cables are no better than traditional brands.
|
 | Dayton HD15-RGB-25 VGA To Component Video Cable 25 ft.
Buy new: $36.96 These Dayton cables seem good, and this is only a amount of all the cables that will be needed.
|
 | Dayton SW-12 Subwoofer Cable 12 ft.
Buy new: $13.36 I'd build in multiple back-ups and switchers in the walls and inside the control closet, that way components could be added later as needed.

Buy new: $9.65 |
 | Dayton SHDMI-10M Signature HDMI Cable 10m

|
 | Dayton ODC-12 Optical Digital Cable 12 ft.
Buy new: $16.84 Not really needed, I guess, with the HDMI, but maybe to add components later.
|

The computer will be essential to play music and movies from also. I'd switch over to MS Media Center and run sync my Tivo with my online profile as well.
|
 | Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control
Buy new: $137.28 / Used from: $82.99 I've read good things about this remote, but remotes are always touchy trying to get every device to work. This seems to be a good bet.
