Outboard processor or receiver as processor only?
If you want the best picture then get a display that has all the inputs you need, running video into a Pro at your price point will degrade the signal period. Run all video straight into your new display and use the Pro for audio only, Rotel would... 
What's new with power conditioning?

I run mine thru a Monarchy and it passes 5.1, 6.1, DTS (all variations) I hooked mine up before I understood that turning off DTS option would solve a problem I was having, I thought re-clocking it might help, well I got that problem fixed but it ... 
Boston's Brad Delp passed away...sad news
Hitch a Ride is one of my all time favorite songs to listen to while going nowhere in a car...good memories. 
Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen
So I hear Audioquest good, and Audioquest bad.... a new pair of Quatro Wood speakers are on the way to my dads and I hope Audioquest sounds good, it will be a real bummer to have to replace 3 month old Mont Blac speaker cables and Niagra IC's.
