For the TV, I dont know, i still got me old 68cm sony trinitron.I recommend trying to pick up a denon 5700, they are being cleared out to make way for a new model 5800. The 5800 should be out sometime in september. I doubt any of these pre/pro/amp stuff will even come close. Yes seperates are better, but for better performance than the 5700, your talking $4000+ at least for seperates.
Speakers, the others covered, just try to get a timbre matched set all round. One thing you may consider is nOrh 5.1 setup. I have not heard these, but everyone says the only HT setup they have ever heard that is more preceise is the meridian at $30K. I have nOrh 7.0's on the way.
