The differential between seperate and integrated components depends on your needs, if cost becomes an object, that is.For instance, I've got a NAD power amp to drive my big magneplanar front channels, and I'm going to get a receiver to do surround processing and drive the surround channels. You just don't need that much power for the surrounds, especially if the fronts are taken care of.
Now, if you're REALLY talking cost-no-object...
Runco MBX-1 DLP projector. $120k
Snell & Wilcox Interpolator Gold video scaler/processor. $60k
Meridian 800 DVD player. $20k
California Audio Technology System XXX audio system. $8.7 MILLION
(Includes 35 speakers, 33 amplifiers and custom installation)Call it an even $10,000,000 for a medium-sized custom-installed luxury theater that will rival, if not best, the Skywalker ranch setup :)
