As for the Netflix sound quality, it is good, but I doubt it'll ever be as good as Blu-ray audio. As I understand it, Blu-ray audio is uncompressed, since they have the space available on Blu-ray discs without needing to compress it. Netflix should be sending 5.1 surround sound though, the Apple TV will certainly handle it. I couldn't find any info on what quality of audio Netflix has in their streams, but it is most certainly compressed to some unknown degree. As for the video quality, I think it will be the same between wireless (be sure to use Wireless-N (802.11n) or better) and wired Ethernet, but you'll get far more consistency going with wired. With Wi-Fi you can have dropouts, buffering, and pixelation issues, depending on the quality of your connection. I've experienced all of those in the past. Going wired will eliminate that, assuming your router or upstream connection to your ISP are fine. You'll also find that video loading times are faster with wired, too. I don't know enough about speaker comparisons or TV projection systems to answer your other questions, but hopefully someone else will chime in.
