Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ?

Gang,

I'm using my Mytek Brooklyn DAC as a pre for music and TV. It is fabulous sounding but I really would like to have 5.1 channel surround, and a single remote! 

Is there an affordable processor (used OK) that has at least as good 2 channel performance? Emotiva is right out. I owned one, and it sounded thin as paper. I note that there are a lot of Krell processors for sale at reasonable prices. 

Thoughts?

I have been more than happy with the stereo and HT sound quality with my NAD T175HD pre/pro for more than 6 years.  If 4K or Atmos are not at the top of your list, look into one of these or even better an Anthem AVM50 or D2V.  Not sure what affordable is but these were all a minimum of $3000.00 plus when new with the D2V coming in at $6000.00 or near.

I really like the modular construction of the NAD, and I have a 30W digital integrated in the bedroom. I also heard the masters series 2 channel DAC and it was god awful. So, mixed experiences.
