New amp recommendations

Hello. My current amp is a big old Onkyo M510 Grand Integra. The preamp is an Italian Musical Technology c2. The speakers are Proac Response 4.

I would like to change the amp. Any good amp recommendation for the Proacs?

Finally, what if I keep the Onkyo? Any suggestion for a good preamp to pair with it? Thanks.

Some additional background and input: the size of the listening room is approx. 450 sq. feet, music that I listen to is pretty much everything other than metal and rap, budget: max 5k. Thanks!

What would you think of pairing the integra with an ARC Ref 3? In addition, do you think that Audience AU24 cables could be a good match?
Thanks.

I've found a nice used REF3 for a reasonable price. Should I get it? Also, can you please recommend some good, reasonably priced speaker and IC cables? I've heard good things about Emprical Design cables. Thanks.

I'll keep the Onkyo amo. Still undecided between ARS LS26 and Ref.3 preamp (both of which I will try to audition). Is the Ref.3 worth 2k euros more than the ls26 (used)?

Grimace, thanks but I don't need an integrated amp. I am looking for a good preamp to match my onkyo amp.
