First of all you'll want a good projector. Infocus have been the market leaders for a while now, and their "IN" series has been cleaning up at the awards as both an affordable and top end option for HD projection. The affordable option is the IN76...

I'm looking to upgrade to that as the screenplay 4800 I've had for a good while now is a bit dated. The money is no object option would be the IN82 though.....

Now you'll want sound to match and the DENON AVR-2105 was highly recommended, but mine recently packed in with what is apparently a frequently occuring problem and it doesn't have HDMI so wouldn't go with your projector, so I opted for the Sony DA1200ES which has multiple HDMI in and out and is currently a bargain at £100 off rrp....

Again though, I was on a budget. If you are too, then a more recent award winner on a budget is the ONKYO TXSR605E

As somebody has said, speakerwise there's nothing to match the KEF's...

Just some general advice from me:

 

How much are you willing to spend in total? once you decide stick to it but remember to include the cost of cables, stands, an all in one remote, surge protection as well as your main components.

 

Separates are the way to go

 

do you want a system thats great playing music too?

 

Are you wanting a tv? if so go for plasma, preferably a panny or samsung of at least 42". prices of the 50" plasmas are around a grand for a 'full hd' set (not an 'hd ready' one).

 

are you gonna be connecting up your pc, xbox360, playstation or other stuff to your system? make sure you have adequate connections.
