Best receiver for sonus f. Grand Piano under 3000

I have the same setup for my speakers as you. Grand Piano for the mains, the Sonus center channel, and the Concertino for the rear. I used to have the Concerto for the rear, but found the Concertino to work just fine. I know have the Concerto in a different system. I would not drive these speakers with a receiver, it will not do them justice. Seperates are the way to go. I am using the Proceed AVP, the Proceed AMP 2 and AMP 3. I have also driven this system with B&K separates and they sounded excellent. Check out the REF20 or 30 and the B&K five channel amp on the used market. You can probably find them for under $3000.00.

If you cannot find separates for that price, get a receiver with pre outs and a separate power for the front channels, including the center if it fits the budget...

Hear in the store, I don't like B&K driving GP for music. If receiver is what you want, I suggest trying top line marantz. I hear older SR-18 on Concerto and they sound better to me. Marantz is warmer and may match SF's house sound better than B&K (kind of harsh on piano even). BTW Marantz's tuner is pretty good. I prefer warm sound, and think most of SF owners like warm sound too. Oh, never hear a SONY I like so far. I love their TV and DVD/CD player better.
