The 5000 lumen Sony VPL-VW5000ES, at $60,000, is our choice for reference class home theaters.
It's laser illuminated, has Sony's top ARC-F lens, and is liquid cooled, making it surprisingly quiet in use. Lens quality makes a big difference in image quality, and unfortunately an awesome lens is only something you get at higher price points.
5000 lumens might seem like overkill, but for negative gain acoustically transparent screens wider than about 130", or great HDR performance, you really need more light output than the 1800 offered by Sony and JVCs mid-tier offerings.
