Whether you are watching the Oscars or your favorite Kurosawa epic, these top-of-the-line components will transform your living room into a movie theater—sans the sticky floor.

Panasonic TH-103PZ600U HD Display

A home theater is all about the big picture and this is the biggest flat-panel plasma set yet. Its full high-definition (1080p) screen is a sprawling 103-inches measured diagonally--equivalent in size to four 50-inch monitors. It also tips the scales at 450 pounds. But Mark Cuban already owns one, so why shouldn't you? (Oh yeah, the price.)

Denon AVR-5805CI Receiver

To power a monster home theater, you need a monster like the Denon AVR-5805CI. This receiver can drive not just one, but two independent THX surround sound systems, as well as switch between 5 high-definition video sources. Just don't look at the back jack panel; there are so many connections, it'll scare you.

Infinity Cascade Series Surround Sound Speakers

No home theater would be complete without the ultimate in surround sound. Whether you're listening to Beethoven or watching

Mission Impossible III, the Infinity Casade speakers not only make beautiful music (and breathtaking explosions), they are lovely to look at without dominating the room.

Denon DVD-5910CI Universal Disc Player

Comparing this Denon disc player to $40 DVD player is like comparing an Aston Martin to a Subaru. Sure, the Subaru will get you to the office, but it won't do much for your image. And image is what the DVD-5910CI is all about. It can bump a standard definition DVD up to full high-def quality without a single jagged edge. Audiophiles will appreciate the fact that it can also flawlessly reproduce the highest fidelity Super Audio CDs and DVD Audio music discs.

Sony PlayStation 3 Game Console

A big screen calls for a big game player, and the PlayStation 3 (despite problems playing some old PS2 games) is the leader of the pack. The high-end version includes built-in Wi-Fi for wirelessly connecting to the Web through a home network and a 60 GB hard drive to store your (virtual) conquests. Best of all, when your thumbs get tired you can use it to play the latest high-definition Blu-Ray DVD movies.

Toshiba HD-XA1 HD-DVD Player

There's a high-definition DVD format war going on, but those with the financial resources needn't be inconvenienced. Use the PlayStation 3 for Blu-Ray DVDs and this player to play HD-DVD discs. HD movies played on the Toshiba machine offer up to six-times the picture detail of standard DVDs, a must for anyone with a really big HDTV.
