AMP or Preamp


What to add next to my system, budget $5000 to $7000?  My current system consist of Wilson Sasha speakers, Yamaha RX-A3050 receiver that I run pure direct, Rotel RB-1590 2x350 amp, Hegel DAC and a Bluesound Vault 2i streamer.  I have been looking at a Mcintosh C2600 to replace the Yamaha receiver to give me the option of adding a turn table at a later date or would adding mono blocks give me the most bang for the bucks or other options?

I got the Wilson's to replace my old speakers thinking get quality speakers and build around the speakers.  My thinking is 1st replace the Yamaha with a good pre amp then work on the amp.    
Gheez wiz isn't this the purpose of the discussion to give suggestions.  I'm not trolling just want some suggestions on what to get with people who have more knowlege then myself, just want to hear good music.  I now know the receiver is crap but that's what I have.  I started with speaker which I'm pleased with and now want to go to the next step.  These are the components I have and now I want to improve them. 
Thanks so much for the suggestions keep them coming so I can narrow my research down.   PS I didn't want to start an audio war.
Thanks again yes this is a journey. Need to narrow this down and maybe post with a couple caparisons.
It seems nobody has anything negative to say about PS Audio, Audio Research and Pass Labs could be a good place to start.  
Caphill, leaning in that direction, nothing but positive comments on the ARC preamps.
