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

Look at the Monolith HTP1. Hasn’t seemed to have had the numbers of bugs that many high names have had. If you want all the bells and whistles with very good sound, but not quite the same level as the Monolith, then the top of the line Marantz is a very solid unit.
