I recently went through what you are attempting. I couldn't find any receivers less than $3000 I could be happy with. I ended up with the Denon AVR-5800. It has every HT feature under the sun and does a respectable job with music. It also has a true analog bypass, i.e. no digitization, for your analog sources. You could put your pre-amp on one of its external direct analog inputs and use you current power amp via its pre-outs to drive your mains. The sound should be pretty similar to what you're used to that way. Use the internal amps for the surround speakers. The next model down in the Denon line, the AVR-4800, just didn't cut it for me. The 5800 throws a nice soundstage, the 4800 is rather two dimensional. The street price for the 5800 is $2500 to $3000.
