New to the forums here!!

Looking to upgrade my Denon AV-887 in a month or so and am looking for suggestions.

I do both HT and music (2 channel stuff) Don't care if they are one in the same or not..Just getting into this audio stuff!

Here is my current set up:
  1. Denon AV-887
  2. Sonus Faber Concertino Speakers (Fronts)
  3. Sonus Faber Solo Center Speaker
  4. Rel Stadium III Sub-bass system
  5. Yamaha NS-580 surrounds
  6. Oppo BDP-105
  7. Sonos Connect streaming MOG and iTunes Library into the via (optical cable) Oppo then into the via HDMI Denon
  8. DirecTV HDMI into the Denon

I have budget of $2K, I might, if it is a HUGE difference, go an additional $500, but want to stay at $2K or less.

I have been looking at several options here they are:
  • Emotiva XPA-5 and UMC-200
  • Anthem PVA-7 amp (no pre/pro selected)
  • Denon 4311CI
  • NAD HT Amp (nothing specific yet)

Any ideas, comments, or combinations would be appreciated.
