Best pro/amp combo under 3k


Looking for recs on a good pro/amp combo under $3,000. Will buy used. Mostly use it for home theater. Definitely don't want just a receiver. Clear dialogue is extremely important.

Speakers:
Center (orb audio-mod4')...hoping to upgrade to Gallo Ref Center A/V
Fronts: (Gallo Ref 3.1's)
Rears: Orb Audios
Sub: yes

Listened to an $8,000 McIntosh amp with $7,000 pre-amp (loved it but too expensive).

Any advice appreciated. I currently have a Denon 2806 receiver and do not like the sound I'm getting out of it.

thx,

I read some good reviews on the Integra prepro for about $1600 new and Anthem $5000 new. They have excellant up-to-date video and audio switching. The articles were in Home Theater Mag. Seems you can mix and match the amp. Dan
Here's an amp.... Pricing will allow a lot of room for a processor and many dinners out.
