Audio
Great audio sound is a preference not an absolute.  The idea of purchasing a system in a box is great if your really don't care.  To be able to totally amerce yourself in the moment you have to be willing to go beyond the package theater in a box mentality.  Yes it is true it will cost more.  It will definitely sound better and ultimately last longer.  When it comes to reproducing sound, quality products are worth the extra cost.
THX certified equipment is tested and analyzed under the guidelines established by THX itself.

These guidelines certify that under optimal acoustic conditions the approved electronics will reproduce the audio to the quality and clarity that matches what the director originally intended.

Follow the audio rule of funds distribution

 

True speakers are the primary source of audio.  If the speakers are junk the entire system will sound like junk.  Audio rule of funds distribution - design your budget where 50% of your audio budget is allocated for the purchase of the highest quality speakers you can afford without breaking the 50% budget.  Divide the remaining 50% balance between your audio components. 

2006 - THX specifies that four sub woofers are better then two

Home Theater audio electronics selections can be very confusing.  Does your theatre need 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1?  Do you plan on expanding the use of your receiver to deliver multi zone audio thru out your home and outside?  Do you need a single component surround sound tuner or does your system need individual components a tuner, pre amp, maybe a five channel amp and a two channel amp to drive your new speakers. 

THX certified Parasound 7100

Let's not forget the powered sub woofer.  THX originally specified a theater design using two sub woofers one front and one rear. 

Today THX has modified their specifications for home theater design to include four smaller sub woofers placed centrally along each wall and daisy chained together to provide even distribution for the low frequency audio sound waves that are produced by powered subwoofers.
