I can't comment on the Video side of you posed question but have a few comments on the audio stuff.

Definitely stick with the Denon for it's great for HT receiver and pretty acceptable for music also. (my opinion) I'm currently using the AVR-5700& love it. If you can swing the M&K's, DO IT for they ARE amazing!

Being that this is not to be dedicated audio system, I'd secondly recommend something like the Klipsch SP-1's, or similar type setup for front speakers. They retail @ $1100.00 for the set but I'm sure could be found for less, shop around. You'll have to pick the rears and center for yourself when you do the final seating arrangement. IE: Do you want "direct" or "bi-pole" type setup?

The SP1's each have a 225watt "auto-on/off" amp in them, so you may not need to purchase a stand-alone sub out of the gate.

Personally, I think that for the money and the 30-day guarantee, I'd try the Swans Diva series that I've recently been reading about in here. For 30 day's guarantee, what do you have to lose?

I think that there are many very good DVD players out there for less than $800.00 ... unless you want to go progressive scan that is. If that's the case than look @ the Toshiba SD-9200, I've been reading nothing but great stuff about it, and forget the $1995.00 retail, below is a link to it for just over $1000.00.

If I'm way-off, sorry to bother you, but I hope that this helps.
Good Luck,
Fish
