Receiver for B&W 702 S2

All

planning to buy 702 S2 for my living room. Given it’s in own living room, I am leaning towards a receiver over separates. 

Consumption is 50% movies and 50% music. I use on 3 channels + a funk audio sub. Music is mostly jazz, classic rock and a lot of guitar. 

I would ideally like to spend under $2000 on electronics. As of right now I was thinking about Yamaha a1070 receiver but have also looked at Anthem, Marantz, Denon etc. 

B&W and classe is a popular combination, but I didn’t want to spend that much money. 

It would be great to get some help.

Hi,
it looks like the Arcam AVR 550 is discontinued. What is a similar Arcam receiver to the Arcam AVR 550?

Received a pair of the 702 S2 for Christmas and don't know too much about receivers versus stereo preamplifier versus stereo amplifier versus integrated amplifier so I've been researching on forums and articles online. My consumption is probably  60% movies and 40% music and based on what I've read, a receiver is probably the better option for me (versus separates) as it's more user friendly for someone with littler to no experience. After reading this forum, I was kinda set on getting the Arcam AVR 550 but found out it's a discontinued product. What replaced the Arcam AVR 550 or what is a comparable Arcam product? 

Thanks in advance!

Are you adding other speakers for home theater or are you just going to use the 702s?

I will be adding more speakers. A pair in the back, center channel and a sub.

The AVR20 is the replacement for the AVR550.
