Mark Levinson Blu-ray Home Theater System

Sorry if I sucker punched you with this one. We're talking Mark Levinson (the man), not Mark Levinson the company. As for companies, LG Electronics has enlisted Mr. Mark Levinson to help with a new line of home theater systems. No pricing yet, but I would estimate $2000, plus or minus a bit.
 

 
There seem to be multiple versions, but information from LG was a little skimpy. The flagship LHB 979 is shown below.

 
Here is the LG information:
