NAD? Someone mentioned NAD?
I've just got a NAD T163 7.1 a/v preamp a few days ago for
$1350. Still tinkering with it but great stuff coming out
of it so far.

any 300x5 at 8 ohms amps/monos out there?

Allen you may wish to take a look at Sherbourn. They make a killer amp in the 7/2100 or the 5/5210 (upgradable to the 7/2100 by adding two more blocks) and a very nice pre/pro in the PT-7000. The 7000 isn't THX certified but it carries most other suites and Cirrus Logic which adds enhancement to your surround sound experience. The 7000 is regarded as a close cousin to the Outlaw but with beefier innards and a heck of a better look. Also mentioned here were the B&K Reference 50. In your price range I'd say the Outlaw, Sherbourn, B&K 50, Rotel or maybe a used Lexicon would fit the bill. Of course the B&K would be the only one besides an upgraded Lexicon that would carry THX for you. NAD, Sherwood have also put some new babies on the block but I think anything in new Lexicon, Krell etc category may overkill your budget.

Hope this helps a little.

why do recievers have video ins/outs or whatever

Once again, I recommend that you spend some time with the HTF Beginner's FAQ and Primer. The chapter entitled "Why receivers have video ins and outs " may be of interest.
