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

Gonna pull the trigger on a 8805 from accessories4less. Question, as this is my 1st Pre pro and amp hookup, do I use balanced or un balanced cables?

Thanks

If your not going long distances, like over 10 feet, I would go un balanced RCA type. It will say you some money. Most people say you cant tell the difference on short runs .

By the way, when I contacted Accessories4less and enquired about the warranty on a refurbished 8805 he told me it was a factory warranty. He then told me that I could get a brand new one for $200 more by using code upgrade200. Pretty cool. $3400 delivered.
