I'd agree with Ray and John, that's a steal for a 3805. IMO that's the best way to go as it will give you a tonne of power and you can always add an external amp in the future if you wish. It has one of the best feature sets of any receiver out there (esp. with video up-conversion, we need a drool icon) and I feel it's head-and-shoulders above any $2000+ pre/pro available. I'd buy this receiver in a second if I had the cashola.
