Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System?


Hey everyone…interested in your thoughts…

I’m putting together a decidedly mid-fi system for both 2 channel listening and 5.1 home theater.  I have Focal Aria Evo X No. 2 towers, center and sub, and also Focal surrounds.  I will be using an Eversolo DMP-A6 for streaming music.

Thoughts on the best receiver to power this system?  I’m looking for musicality from the receiver if possible as I have a more “hi-fi” system also and am a little spoiled with B&W 801 D4s in that system.

I know the limitations of the Focal speakers and am wondering if spending more on the receiver will really be worth it or not for this system?  Would like to spend $1,000 or less if possible but could be convinced to go a little higher if something truly provides better bang for the buck.  Prefer to buy new, usually.

Have only 1 sub and need only 1 coax input for the streamer so I’m assuming almost anything new today will suffice.

Many thanks for your thoughts and opinions on this!

I'm using the marantz pm7000n to power my power hungry Buchardt e50s. Doing a very good job!  Nice streaming ability and will turn on when the TV does even though it's only connected through optical. 

With focal speakers pls don’t limit them with mid fi gear the likes of denon and marantz (unless a 20 year old marantz). no
 

get a used Arcam or Cambridge Audio or rotel or anthem or rega AVR amp and be at entry level high end. yes
