BD player I recommend the Sony 5000ES

Receiver either the Sony 5400ES or the 6400ES. Is the receiver going to integrated into a whole house system?

Speakers: Martin Logan

TV: Sony 70" XBR

Being in Saudi Arabia you wil be able to get that equipment real easy.

There is about $40k US dollars there. You said money isn't an issue and you would pay for quality.

If you want what I think you want stay away from the 350 and PS3 they are tinker toys compared to what is available. If you want even better replace the Sony ES receiver with high end Denon and McIntosh tube amps.

No, just the area I specified.

Thank you so much for this. But 40k is a little steep. If I know for sure that all of this will last for years and years then I might be willing to pay, but since something better is bound to come out in the next few years I don't think it's truly worth it to pay that much.
I know I said money is not an issue, but I definitely didn't think it would ever cost that much for an entertainment system. Sorry, that was my bad.
But still, I really appreciate all the suggestions and I will definitely look into them.

If you drop the 70" XBR and go with the 55"XBR or the Pioneer KURO it cuts that price in half. I have everything except for the 5000ES BD player and trust me it is worth every dime.
