Home Cinema set up- the choice is endless..... NO!?
At the moment I have a less expensive system:
A Avant 32 RF DVD, Lab Penta MK3+ 6000, Screen with remote, Epson TW700, Denon 2930 DVD (with HDMI to the Epson).
And I've bought an "ordinairy"Logitech Harmony 525 which has macro functions and can control the whole set including the Avant.
So, choose "Watch DVD"on the Harmony and it will start the Epson, Denon, Avant and lower the screen.
Let the movie begin......

Maybe it's not my place saying this in the beoworld forum, but if I was looking to put together a high end home theater system, I probably wouldn't use any B&O products. When it comes to stereos I'll sacrifice some sound quality for the cool B&O looks, but in a home theater system I don't really think the trade-off is worth it, especially considering the B&O premium you're paying. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet they are bilking you on cables too. Remember that assuming physics applies to your home as much as it does to anyone else's, then this:

will not give you any visible difference in performance over this:

Good luck with your endeavor though. It sounds like whatever route you go with you'll have an awesome system in the end!
Hi there.. I am a Bang & Olufsen dealer so therefore this would be my costing for what you have listed.
Stewart Screen 92" visionary - £4200 (depends if this is a flush conceleaed unit)
Samsung SP A800 Projector -£3500 (new style if lens is in centre of projector
Beosystem 3 DBVT - £5100
Future Automation PD2 lift - £1800
Addiditional 7.2 centrer speeker - £2200 (woudl highly recommend the 7.4 or Lab 10 as centre channel however)
Beo 5 - £495
DVD 2 DVD player - £900
Cables & connections - £1000 - £1500 inc HDMI, Bsys 3 cables, Relays and GRX AV
Planning, Installing, commissioning. include 1x full time project manager.. £2500-£3000
So this must be a large job for the quote but anything between £22K - £28K is about right. Contact me if you'd like any help.
Cheers, Michael
Why this Samsung Projector , is it that good or the only one that works with Bs3 ?

I'm guessing that it's an issue of price. at my shop we've found the Samsung to be a good choice for around $6k US. We also use Seleco & Runco projectors for higher end jobs. In my experience, projectors are usually sold as "add-ons" rather than the center of the video experience, so it's not uncommon to seek out a good performer at a good price.
There's a pretty wide variety of projectors that can be controlled by the BeoSystem 3, though.
Whatever you watch, from movies and video games to photo slideshows, Epson’s latest technologies create superb, life like colours and deep blacks. With 1600 lumens brightness and an impressive Contrast Ratio of 50,000:1, the Epson EMP-TW2000 is currently the ultimate in High Definition big screen entertainment.
We recently had the EMP-TW2000 side by side against the projector (until now) we believed to be the best
