Upgrading HT and 2channel stereo

Hello,
  New to Audiogon’s forum, but seems like a proper place to discuss audio topics, so here goes...

   Will be replacing my 2008 Onkyo TX-NR906 (AVR) and looking for suggestions on components.  Leaning towards separates such as a multichannel amp and AV processor for HT application and an integrated amp to run the front L & R speakers for stereo.  Welcome other configurations, but would like to keep costs for these three separates below 10k.

   Equipment I will be using with new components:

   Speakers-front left, right, and center are Sonus Faber Domus Concerto     
    Rear speakers are Totem Limks
    Sub is a REL R-505

  Existing components that will be retained and used include Oppo BDP-103D; basic Roku box, cable box and a LG OLED C9 TV.  

  Components I’m considering, but not set on include the following:
    AVR:  Anthem MRX1120
     AV pre pro:  Anthem AVR 60, Marantz 8805
    Multi channel amp:  Parasound A51/52/52+; NAD M27; Classé Sigma 5

  integrated amps:  Hegel; Rega Elicit R; Anthem STR

  welcome thoughts on this upgrade project including other brands including ATI, Emotiva, etc.  thanks in advance, Mike

If what I posted sounds a little snarky its not meant to.  Its just it seems that having no dollar references gives only half the story.

Hi Audio Doc, I often wish you would provide an idea of the pricing for the items that you recommend. Its obvious that there will be better sounding gears as one spends more for their equipment, but by your providing some guestimates of prices it will give the reader some general idea where the items you recommend fall on the affordability/diminishing returns curve which in turn will give some real world help to the reader making a decision.
