Best combination of HT and sound

I currently have a Marantz 8000 series that I purchased decades ago. It has power supply problems now but I loved the musicality of this receiver. Needless to say, as a past audiophile, I am in the position to upgrade my system. Looking for either a good HT system that allows 4K pass through with a good phono preamp. I've seen the Denon 960 and 2700 but really looking for a good 7.1 amp and pre -amp combo. Currently using Paradigm speakers for surround. Will change this if the right speakers fit my profile. Want low profile speakers. Any and all suggestions and comments welcomed

The Schiit Mani provides MM & MC and may be as good as what you’d find in most processors. It’s small enough to fit nearly anywhere, and at $129 not a lot to lose if you don’t like it.

I use a hybrid setup comprised of Ayre preamp and Bryston processor.  Both stereo and surround sound are excellent.
