need new seperates on a budget


My Marantz receiver just died so I am now looking for a set of seperates to replace it. I want a 5 channel amp and a processor or more likely a new receiver to act as processor. The problem is the budget is limited to about $1600 for both. Any suggestions, am looking at arcam p1000, sherbourn, theta intrepid, parasound, b&k etc but have no idea which would be better. I listen to music in 2 channel about 75% of the time. Really concerned about the pre/pro. I have Focal 806V, Elan surr and Energy center but just care about the Focals.

Thanks all for the responses.
I am thinking of seperates because I don't like having to replace an expensive receiver and would be able to cut the cost in half by having seperates. I would also like to be able to upgrade the pre/pro portion seperatly in the future.
Which of the amplifiers I have listed would be better than the others or something else in the $1000 used range.
I am intrigued by the Emotiva brand but afraid of the class D amps.
I can't use an older pre/pro because I have only HDMI inputs.
I am thinking of a inexpensive receiver as a pre/pro as a stop gap measure used as a pre only.

The Emotiva line of amps aren't class D. They are Class AB. I don't remember the exact draw of my UPA-7 but it isn't that much.

How about the Onkyo PR-SC886 or Onkyo PR-SC885 pre/pros? Sometimes you can find those for under $800/each and then you can get different multi channel amp.
The Emotiva preamp processor lists at around $699. Couple that with the Emotiva 5-channel powerhouse XPA-5 at $899 and at $1,600 you have a killer combo. It will certainly be a lot better than any $2,000 receiver, particularly because the power envelope will be far more powerful.
