I'm setting up a home theater in my basement and I was wondering What would be the best tv projector to buy for around $7000-$8000 and why? Also, what type of screen to get? I have been looking at the stewart firehawk(123")

It depends on what you mean by "best"? Best picture, easiest setup, light weight, etc. You don't want a gray screen if you go with a CRT projector. For the money you have to spend, you should ask around at the various display devices over at the AVS Forum. Larry www.fineelectricco.com

Tink,
We do alot of plasma and a bunch of projection as well. I've been using the new toshiba dlp and I've been really impressed. It's around $8,000 and very nice.

You really shouldnt decide on a screen until you have the projector selected. Personally, I dislike grey screens, but thats more of an opinion that anything. I'm a Matt White kinda guy....
Take a look at the Sharp 9000 This projector can be had now for around the price range you mentioned and it really out-performs all the "Mustang 2" chipped DLP projectors anywhere near your price range. Sharp even had a $1000 rebate going on the 9000's recently... Dunno if its still going or now... I know they extended it once.
