Hey boss. Before I give you my humble recommendation for a receiver, I'm gonna throw in something on the speakers you are looking at. I have extensive experience with Klipsch speakers (ex-dealer) and you will be better off with the RF-5. The "new" Reference speakers are designed to fill the gap left by the now discontinued Synergy series speakers. The RF-5's are from the "old" (and much better) Reference line. Granted they are a bit more money, but I have found them to be well worth it.

Now for the receiver. Your ideal unit is the Denon AVR-1705. It is the new entry level receiver from Denon. It has 3 component video inputs and a component monitor out. They also added full video transcoding (others call it upconversion) to all receivers in the line. You can have all your video sources coming in via composite, s-video, or component video, and send them all out via the component out. This simplifies matters because you do not have to change inputs on the TV, just switch inputs on the receiver. This is all on an ENTRY LEVEL receiver. High five for Denon!

Now you are the boss here, so if any of the following is out of line, you know what to do. I am an authorized dealer for Denon and I can give you a really good deal on it if you like. It retails for $399, but I can give it to you for less. PM me if you are interested, just trying to help. Sorry if any of the above is out of line.
