Pat, Anandtech is a tech website that does alot of hardware reviews on just about everything you can think of. I don't know what your budget is or what resolution it is you're looking to project but you can get a 1920x1080 projector anywhere from $9000.00 and up. They may be somewhat pricey, but i guarantee none of your speakers will complain about bad image quality again. I have several suggestions: Samsung SP-A800 and the Marantz VP-15S1. These are just a few out of many many many projectors.
