Which AV Receiver?

And, he listens to music. So stereo. And, he does have a low budget- which as I pointed out you get a lot more for your money buying stereo vs multichannel. Also the center channel is only "critical" for people sitting way off axis. Which as roberjerman also pointed out is not even necessary and will even degrade the sound. So he goes even further than me.

Soap box? Honestly auxinput I have to wonder if you even bothered to read my post. Was there one single FACT in it you are able to find fault with? Is one word of it factually untrue? Of course not.

The ONE recommendation I make that stands out loud and clear is not buy this or buy that, but GO AND LISTEN! In other words, here’s a lot of solid info NOW GO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!

Something you should understand. Having made up yours to the point you never even bother reading any more.

millercarbon thanks for your input and for tipping the scales the other way and getting me thinking. To be fair to auxinput he helped me setup at my parents place and convinced me to go the integrated preamp/DAC option over AV receiver for my Yamaha studio monitors which are being used for similar scenario as what I’m after now for my own house. 
You made a lot of sense with the quality vs quantity. I am definitely only concerned with quality. If I have to ditch rears and center than so be it. I already have the sub though. Having good sound for movies will benefit my wife and I but having quality sound for music is what I really want (personally). 
So taking into consideration my budget, are you able to recommend some preamp and amp models which I can look into that will bring out the absolute best of my speakers (for my budget)?
Over here in the U.K. where I am it’s difficult finding somewhere which stocks a lot of kit in store for me to listen to so would appreciate the recommendations here. 

Here is a Rotel A12 integrated amp with DAC. 120 wpc. £700 + shipping. Available from UK eBay seller "emlu17-4". Located in Halifax, W.Yorkshire. NEW IN BOX - never used! Silver finish!

Thanks roberjerman.

I am trying not to ask but I’ve just read about the A12 and I’m a little confused.

What does it mean by integrated?
Is there a preamp and DAC built into this amp?
Is 60 watts per channel enough power? Is this suitable to handle/power the RP-8000F towers at 8 ohms?

Are there any downsides to an integrated amp? Applying what millercarbon said above would suggest that there would be reduced quality?

I remember you laher.  You said that you couldn’t use a center channel at all in that situation and wanted a real simple solution which is why I put forth that audio-gd DAC preamp.  You also wanted power monitors and that was the Yamaha studio monitor suggestion.

However, for movie and tv audio, there is going to be a loss of clarity and coherence if you don’t actually have a center channel.  It’s actually harder to hear dialogue clarity in a 2 channel system, but if you don’t care about that, then a 2 channel Integrated will always sound better than an HT receiver for stereo music in your budget.

an “integrated amplifier” just combines a preamp and amplifier into one device.  Sometimes they also have a built in DAC.  That Rotel A12 is an excellent suggestion and hits all your requirements and it has four digital inputs.  However, it’s not actually 120 Watts per channel like robojerman said.  It’s really only 60 watts per channel so it’s kind of lit on the amp side.  That being said, those klipsch are 8 ohm speakers and extremely efficient at 98db, so they shouldn’t be that difficult to drive.   Just keep in mind that you will not be able to get a center channel with this integrated amp direction.
