thinking selling anthem statement p5 ideas?

If you have been following my last few threads i have questions about pre amps and amps.
currently i have....
b&w 804s fronts
b&w htm3s center ( just found one!!!!)
b&w cdm1 sides and
b&w 602 rears.
old sub by cerwin vega.

my room....
25 by 25 open but i only use half for dedicated home theater.
Commercial carpet floors and concrete block walls with dry wall over.

equipment....
play station hdmi
pioneer elite 92 txh ( only amping the rear 6 and 7 channels) pre outs to
anthem statement p5 via shielded rca. about 9 ft in length.

so here's the thought
1. how much can i get for the anthem and pioneer? pioneer is perfect and the anthem has a few scratches on the top cover( not from me).

2. what could i buy for the money made on the two pieces? processor and amp or amps that is.... and would it be a great enough upgrade to go through the hassle?

i would need the hdmi in the processor with xlr connections and at least hdmi1.3 for a dolby truehd.

the ones that keep coming up are the marantz and the integra for processors. if there is other ideas that would be great.

and what to do for the amp or amps... i love how the anthem makes my speakers sound... a lot less bright than with the pioneer.

so... what are your thoughts?

thanks,
Bill

Thank you for the responses. i am just throwing around some ideas. maybe just a good processor and newer sub is all i would need. after the purchase of the new center channel, i am close to being taped out cash wise. so the thought was sell the amp and receiver, use the money to buy a good amp and processor with ghetto proceeds, but i do jot want to go backwards in quality. emotiva released their new 5 channel amp ($2000) and there is not a review out there yet. i did jot know how that would stack up against the anthem.
but... for now maybe just the elite can get sold and get a processor, even though the elite decodes and has everything but the xlr connections that i want, the sound from a dedicated processor, i am told, would be better.

thanks

As good as the Emotiva amps are(performance/value), your Anthem Statement P5 is a couple of notches above that in performance and quality of parts.
