Another option for "receiver" is the Emotiva Ultra Theater combo. A full set of separates, with HDMI switching via a separate box (come included with the LMC1 pre/pro). All for $900 with free shipping right now.

That's a deal that's hard to beat.

Must say that I haven't heard these units, but if my Rotel receiver goes, this is the route I'm taking.
