best $3000 4 ohm amp/pre or AVR for 5.1 media room


I am setting up a 14 x17 ft media room. Speakers=Magnepan 1.6r +surrounds. Panasonic 3000 projector, 90" stewart screen, Blue Jeans Cables.

I am totally confused about receivers or preamp/amp. My budget is $3000. I have looked at Integra DTR9.9, Used Krell HTS with musical Fidelity ht6000, Adcom7607, or Outlaw 997/7500, as well as Denon 5803ci or 4803ci.

I am looking at different options and would like some opinions?? I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED!!!

I was thinking about the krell hts with a demo musical fidelity ht600. It will give me about 180W @ 4ohm. Not a lot of power for the maggies but at least it will be clean. But does the HTS pre amp do HDMI 1.1. or 1.3? Which specific model would you suggest?
