Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?

Currently need to replace a receiver. I don't have many local options for auditioning. My system consists of the following; Elac Debut F6, Pro-Ject Debut Pro, Pro-Ject S2 stage, NAS and streaming. I listen in a regular ol' family room with no treatments. Mostly like metal genre. Budget is $9k ish.

9K is a lot of money for an amp. Especially used. You can buy a great amp (or pre and power) and a pair of speakers for that.

I could go down a long list of recommendations for each but the easiest will be to use the 30-60 days return policies of Amazon, Crutchfield, safeandsoundhq, AudioAdvice, etc. and try a few things.

for the list battle....

there is a best value curve at each price range, and let's say 4K for integrated and 5K for speakers: there are fantastic options.

for integrated I know and trust; Musical Fidelity, Parasound, Rotel, Primare, even Hegel fits the budget

for speakers; Dynaudio, Revel, KEF, MoFi, Revival, Totem, Monitor Audio, CSS, Triangle
