I would say it's ok if you mate it to some efficient speakers of 90db+. The tradeoff you are making is power for sound quality/compactness at the 3K price point.
There are some televisions that will have video switching built into them. My Sony XBR does and I connect all my video sources directly to it. I use all sony sources so the switching takes place automatically when I start using a given source.
If you do find that you are short on power you can run five channels into dedicated amplifiers. Even at 3K, a good quality pre/dvd/processor is a pretty good deal. There's a lot to be said for an integrated system.
