Best AV receiver for B&W 703 S2?


Hi Guys,

I am newbie. I bought a pair of B&W 703 S2 & HTM71 S2 speakers as front 2 and Center Channel. I paired it with a Marantz 7015 AV receiver. I hope to get surround & back speakers & Atmos speakers later. I have LG 77 CX Oled TV. 

The receiver’s audio seems underwhelming when watching movies. for Video. Seems fine for Audio. I am streaming thru Apple TV 4K, Apple Music thru airplay. I have a small unfinished basement. About 225 sq ft listening area.
Please let me know what AV receiver works best with these B&W speakers. I have been recommended Rotel RAP1580, Anthem MRX 740 & Lexicons RV-9. I would like to stay under $5000

The Marantz SR7015 is a good receiver. I agree with soix that a more detailed explanation of what you think is incorrect or missing is necessary. But to start with if your room is an unfinished basement I would kind of guess everything will sound poor, even a single person singing live.
