Fantasy HT if you were rich?

This is kind of a fun topic for all dreamers.
If you were wealthy how would you set up your HT with what brands for each category?
Brands:
Speakers?
tv or projector screen?
projector model?
amp?
reciever?
wires?
Me personally I would live in a mansion with a custom built movie theater that's also a concert hall with a 250" inch to 300" inch screen, not too big with around 25 to 30 seats to keep some intimacy with dark wood walls and large leather reclining seats. Atleast 15 speakers, 4 to 5 basses minimum.
I guess this would be a start for me:

Aye, indeed.
If I had, say, $20k (or more) to spend on a dedicated HT room, I'd probably go with an all-LSi 11.2 setup (DSX is on a lot of the new AVRs), and even though I may not use it much, a 3D-capable projector/screen combo, probably in the 200" range. Buttkickers in the seats, and I'd build an AVAC closet for all the stuff, which I would rack-mount. I'd also wire the house to do multi-room audio off the equipment at the same time.
For styling, I'd probably try to make it look like an old-school 20's/30's theater when they still had the red velvet, victorian styling, etc. Antique furniture, an old-school popcorn machine, a faux lobby entrance, it'd be fun. -
