Ok that price on the EXLS8 Sub is pretty good, but you can now get the new version which has better response time at the same price. You also dont want to run your speakers through the sub, it will negatively impact your system.

If you are looking for a good receiver, at a reasonable price you can pick up a Yamaha RXV620 for $499.99. Here are the specs:
100 watts continuous x 5 discrete amp
5 channel stereo
Component Video switching (2in/1out) - Allows HD Switcing for the future, actually does full singal.
Full S-video and Composite video
4 opt in/ 1 opt out, 1 digital coax (maybe more)
DSP modes - Digital Sound Processing Field modes - basically went to famous locations and recorded the acousitcs
Preprogramed Universal Remote (uses codes - but funky looking)
Plus more features!

If you want to go a bit higher let me know, but that is about the bottom of what I would recommend. You can also look at the Denon AVR1801 but it doesnt compare with the Yamaha.

Leon - As for the AVR 5800 - You want one? I have an open box display for sale, which will have the full manufacturer warranty, plus someone to yell at for dirt cheap. MSRP - $3799.99, and we can probably knock off at least 30% off of that price, maybe more.
