HELP Best 5.1 amplification for under $2000


I’m searching for a receiver or a Prepro & Amp combination to drive a 5.1 home theater with classic Mirage speakers. I'm considering a B&K 307 receiver (demo) but am looking for other options, used is OK.
The 2 extra channels are for a second zone.
The usage is 40% 2ch Music & 60% HT.
Too many options out there and I need experienced advice!
thanx

Thank you very much for the response Kurt_tank,
Since this unit will need to perform double duty -- both music and theater - I am trying to get some feedback from the audiophiles on what might be a good starting point.

I have heard reports similar to yours' on the DENON, which appears to top the list of Asian imports (excluding Rotel).

I was hoping someone would come up with an experienced suggestion on separates for under 2K which would be a sonic improvement on the discontinued b&k receiver.

Best regards
