Hi Everyone!
I have several questions regarding a setup I'm going to put together in the near future.
Here's what I'm looking to get out of this setup, in order of primary use:
1. stereo music
2. video games
3. movies
I'm planing on buying these speakers as the front left and right :

For the rest I'll use my old Polks:

Rear:

Sub

Here's where I run into trouble. From what I know most receivers won't have enough power to run those Vegas ( I like to listen loud), so I'm guessing I would have to buy an amplifier. If I would go that route how would I go about connecting the amp to the receiver? Further more, in some distant future I plan on using those ve-15 as rear speakers and buy these babies:

Now those xls's would require their own amp for sure, so how would I connect 2 amps to one receiver and still be able to have true 5.1 surround sound?
Should I be looking for a preamplifier instead of an all in one receiver?
If you have any suggestions on a receiver or preamp let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated
even links will do.
My budget for a receiver is $1000-1500 max. Spec's that I'm looking for are:
Minimum 4 HDMI 1.4a (3d enabled), 5.1 surround sound, ability to listen to only the front two speakers.
Anyways, this is going to be my divorce present for myself Hurray for being single again!
