Wow, this is a great thread - I can't believe I didn't stumble on this sooner.

If anyone doesn't mind me asking, what are people's opinions on a good mid-range (budget-wise) receiver? My mother was using my dad's old Luxman which cost about $999 back in the 1990's, and our old Sony 27" CRT television has bitten the dust. She's also decided to give away our old B&W 500 series speakers, which worked fine (I guess she just wants to junk everything and just get everything new).

I think she's looking to spend about $2-3K on a receiver and speakers, not including the TV. (I guess she's also going to get a DVD player, too, so any opinions on a good make/model of DVD player would nice too.)
