Need suggestions replacing my receiver


Hi all.
My family living room (20 x 24) is also where I have my A/V equipment. Right now I have the following:
Onkyo TX-NR906
500 GB Playstation 3
Sony 300 Disc Changer
Focal Chorus 826V towers
Focal Chorus CC 800 V Center
Paradigm SA-30 V.3's for the sides and rears
55" Samsung LED TV.

I have never been overly impressed with the Onkyo TX-NR906. I use this setup for probably 60% movies and watching television and 40% music. Music sounds good but not dynamic, movies are good but not really like being in a theatre. I feel like the setup should be more dynamic and louder. I do listen to it at high volume levels from time to time.
Last week the HDMI inputs stopped working, I have googled the issue and I could actually have it fixed locally. I am considering buying a new receiver, or seperates. I really don't want to spend over 2000.00. What do you guys suggest?

I agree with the subwoofer comment above. I recently got the top model Denon receiver for my HT, the 4520 and it works very well and I am happy with my purchase. There a couple of dealers that have good prices on new units. I have come to believe that if you really want both music and HT you should have either separate systems (which is what I ended up doing) or go with a 2 channel integrated with a HT pass through that you can use in conjunction with a HT receiver.
