A Krell HTS5.1 or even better HTS7.1 would do it. They both sound amazing!

I really like my Classe SSP 60. Don't see many used but it has been a great unit.

Put the Parasound 7100 on your list too. These are currently going for $500-$600 used.

If you have a very minimal system (1 digital coax, 1 optical digital and one L/R RCA analog input) you can run a Meridian 565 without the 562V which adds a lot more inputs. The 561 is an all-in-one box but has lower quality pre-amp section. Both options could be had under your price range.
