Also, if your wondering about what this guy is putting together, ask for alternative options... and have them explain their choice of one over another.
For example, ask them about a differant reciever someone mentioned to you (Yamaha RX-V2600, or Denon AVR-4306) and why they chose the pioneer over them...
They will gladly explain their reasoning...they may tell you that the reciever is more compatible with the spacific items that they have chosen or that they feal that it has the best quality output in the price range...
they may offer you alternative option that they have done for others in the past and why they chose to do that for them.
Each item has its pros and cons...but some of the cons can be balanced out by another item if chosen correctly. So if you were to say that you think the Yamaha Reciever is a better buy, they may tell you that it is, but pairing it up with the item they have already choosen doesn't work quite aswell...
I don't know about the rest of the equipment but, I'm reading a Tweeter catalogue that came in the mail today and shows the Pioneer Elite DV46Av DVD player for $299. If this is any indication of your guys pricing, I'd say you are getting ripped off! PS Tweeter isn't known as a discount house.
Yeah, you're getting f*cked if you don't like paying full MSRP and then some. That projectors resolution is garbage. You should have something like this:
The list goes on and on. Your getting ripped hardcore, but thats what happens when you don't reseach and agree to pay full price and then some. Would you pay full sticker on a new car? If your a sucker.
Edit:
Go for an SVS subwoofer, they are the best around:
