NAD and a few others also make some nice receivers that have preamp outputs for all channels. This would be well under your 2,000 budget and you could start enjoying 5.1 now and upgrade the power as you aquire the finances. You could continue to use your existing amp and the receiver would have power built in for the other channels (except, of course, the sub). And a good subwoofer is a MUST HAVE for really good HT enjoyment.
If you go the seperates route you do not need integrateds or 5 preamps. A good HT preamp will controll all channel levels from one source. HTH -CJB
