Jazzonthehudson (I like the sound of that). I've got some Lee Morgan playing right now !! There's literally a ton of choices out there for a new multi-channel amp and surround sound processor. So many choices !! I would expect you'll get a plethora of replies. For your budget, I'd stick with Krell products if at all possible. I wish that were my budget but I'm very happy with my Rotel MC amp and Integra surround sound processor combination for about $3K (both new within the past year). Speakers mostly B&W but surrounds are Monitor Audio. Love it. Let us know what you decide.
Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k
After spending a great deal of time and money to upgrade my main 2 channel system, maybe it is time to plan the upgrade of my HT system that I have neglected for a long while.
Currently I use an old Krell HTS with the combo of KAV 250a and KAV250a/3. All info available under my "system".
The HT is used for 40% music and 60% movies.
