New high end processor


Hi all, I am in the market for a processor to power My PMC speakers. I currently have a 5.1 system but in the near future it will be expanded to a 7.1 or 7.2 possibly with atmos. I have parasound halo amps. I have been in a holding pattern with a Denon 3400 with which I am not enamored and have yet ot hook up my amps. So, my budget is 5k. I have seen the Marantz 8500, Avm 60 and the Yamaha Cx 5200 on line. I am sure that there are others, and updates for this year? Suggestions?

Thank you

I'm using the Marantz 8805 with a Parasound Halo A21 for my mains and 80% of its use is 2/ch and in that department it does not disappoint.. The rest of my setup is Atmos in a 7.1.4 configuration and again it doesn't disappoint. It's very transparent with good top to bottom coherence.
