Preamp/Processor

I'm trying to help a friend build his system; however I don't know much about home theater. I'm a 2 channel guy. His system : B&W CM9s with center channel and subwoofer, ATI 3003 amp, currently using a Yamaha receiver's preamp out two control his system.I'm looking for recommendations for a preamp/processor below 2K.

Kr4,

He's looking to improve everything: detail, bass, just a cleaner/more open sound.

Sorry for the error. It should read: to control his system.

I have a Cary Cinema 11a he can have for $1K. It can provide the sound and control he's looking for, but speaker setup requires a tape measure and sound level meter, and, as seems common among higher end processors, it does not do acoustic room correction, although it has a substantial equalization menu.
