Best equipment to use with Gallo Speakers?

Current system:
Front: Gallo 3.1 refs
Center: 6 orb audios (I actually put one right and left next to my rears because I like dialogue on movies near me.)
Rear: 2 orb audio's per side
Receiver: Denon 2806
Sub: Orb Audio

I want to improve my system, and I think the best 'next step' is to purchase a great receiver? I actually don't understand the difference between a pre-amp and a receiver (is pre-amp just extra power to the speakers?).

I'm looking for recommendations on the best receiver and/or pre-amp for my gallo ref 3.1's. I have about $3k and I plan on buying through craigslist.

thx,
Scott

So listened to an awesome $8000 McIntosh amp/pre-amp setup as well as a high end receiver. The McIntosh was amazing! So clear, so quiet when it needed to be. The receiver seemed almost 'cluttered' with sounds.

I am convinced I need an amp/pre-amp setup.

Rec's there? Looking to spend around $3,000 used. Using Gallo ref 3.1's for fronts and orb audio's for the rest. I mostly use it for home theater and clear dialogue is top priority.
