My preference would be to spend a lot less on the electronics and more on the speakers. I'd also skip the EQ, line conditioner etc,... maybe the aforementioned Tripp Lite, but thats about it.

I'd break that budget down to;
~$800 - $1000 for the receiver
~$400 or so Blu Ray
~$2500 - $2800 for speakers
~$800 - $1000 for the sub
