Replacing from Hurricane Sandy

So I'm to the point where I am replacing my gear from the hurricane. I've been a Rotel,B&W user for the last 15 or so years. I had the RSP-1570 with an older RMB-985 amp. I was using a Pioneer Elite 1st gen bluray player. My speakers which survived are pair of CDM2 w a CC6 center. I had a asw600 sub. I just bought the Samsung 6500series 65" 3d HDTV.

So, I'm open to suggestions on replacements and recommendations.

Thanks

My needs are

Processor
Amp
Bluray
Sub

I'm looking @ the new rotel rsp-1572 for the processor and rmb-1565 amp since I've been a fan. Also the asw610 since the rotel/b&w matching.

My center is the b&w cc6 & fronts are b&w cdm2, surrounds are Niles iC7FX.

I research some of your suggestions. I figure my total budget for the 4 pieces would top out about $4-5k

The emotiva stuff looks interesting. When you've been a loyalist for 15-20yrs its so hard to overcome a bias. I guess I need to be open minded. I'm going to call them tomorrow to chat. My speakers are all small but I have that aversion to an amp less than 100w per channel. They go 80x5. 200x5 seems like overkill, but then again I may upgrade the speakers one day.

The Oppo will end up being the bluray.

Ordered the Oppo and bought a b&w asw610 from a member. I had good experiences w my 600 in the room so I stuck w it. I'm leaning towards the Emotiva, but the back order may put me into almost April.
