H/K AVR247 mated with a separate power amplifier for the front LR speakers (if you prefer 2 ch stereo and have full range LR speakers). You can use the receiver's amps for the center and rears or (my recommendation) use a 3-7 channel amp of your choice and just use the 247 as a pre/pro only. Many good used multichannel amps at Audiogon and Videogon that will keep your total cost below $1k. I have a 5 channel amp for sale myself - PM me if interested.
