Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?


Hi!  I'm on the hunt for a new receiver, since I recently upgraded my main speakers, and I'd like to have one that also passes 4K signal.  

My current setup:

Denon AVR-4308CI
Left & Right: B&W 803S
Center: B&W HTM2
Surrounds B&W 301
Sub: Energy 8"

I recently upgraded to the 803S's on the left/right; replacing my original Nautilus 805's.  Now I need to upgrade the rest of the system!

I think the first step is the receiver, especially since I'd like to be able to pass 4K to my projector.   Then will likely upgrade the sub (Am considering the Monoprice Monolith, 10" or 12"...). And I'm also on the hunt for a HTM3S, to better match the 803S's. 

I'd love to know what Receiver recommendations folks have that will pair nicely with these speakers.  Ideally under ~$2K  - and I really don't care much about other bells & whistles (multi zone, bluetooth, wifi, whatever). I'd rather the money go into the best possible D/A, amplifiers, etc... and leave other tech gadgetry to other boxes.

Appreciate any/all input! Thanks!  :)

Regarding the Connex power cord.  They are going to be low cost tinned or OFC copper, and they are going to be stranded bundles of wires for each conductor.  The plugs are going to be low cost brass plugs.  Gold plated will give a slightly warmer sound with softer highs.  You could try them if you wanted to, but there are better options.
----
If you wanted a decent power cord in this price range, I would look at the Pangea power cords from Parts Connexion.  They are mostly solid-core or litz wires with good gold-palted copper plugs.  You can get a 9 awg cord for the amp if you want.  I think this will be about the best you can do, but expect to pay up to $199 or so.  I consider this a "final buy" power cord because the make-up of the litz polymer coated wires makes it extremely difficult to chop and re-terminate with a better IEC or male plug.  But if you wanted the best power cord in this range, this is what I would recommend.

You can try either above power cords for your amp (Pangea would be better).  For the Marantz, I would give this a try:

The NRG-5 is all solid-core OCC type copper with very low restrictive insulation.  It's really a 14awg power cord, but the best quality.  It does have gold-plated copper plugs, so if it's not detailed enough in the sound, you can always chop the ends and cut/strip the wires for a new Furutech silver-plated or rhodium-plated IEC plug.
Oh, if you order from Parts Connexion, they have a shipping option called "UPS Express".  This is an overnight shipping and only costs around $15 or so for something small.  However, somebody needs to be home to accept delivery because UPS requires a signature for this method.  Otherwise, they ship normal UPS or US Mai (which is going to be 5-7 days).
Thanks for the detailed thoughts on all the fuses and power cables.

I just ordered the Silverstar.  :)

I couldn't find any Pangea connectors on Parts Connexion... Are you thinking the AC 9 MK II ?

Oh, and @maritime51 - Thanks for the Nuprime transport recommendation. Not sure if I want just a standalone CD player.. will look into that one and do some more thinking on it. :)
Ah! Already ordered...Thanks for the shipping tip; I went with the cheaper shipping since I probably won't have time during the week to test out the fuse anyway. And next weekend will be all about replacing/building the new racks, which arrive on Friday. And, painting the room; looking forward to darker walls to help the projections...

Onward! :)
