I ended up finding a pair of nice  trade-in Aria 926s from a local authorized dealer for less than the price of a pair of new SVS pinnacles but it was a tough choice Going to pair with an SVS SB3000 and Aria center and try and use the existing 906...

@soix  do you have an SVS setup or just like their products?  A local store is selling an SB4000 for $1000 andan Ultra center for around $400.

Free in-home testing?
Unless I'm misreading, SVS has a 45 day risk free trial with free shipping both ways and a full refund, which goes a little beyond a standard return policy.  I guess what I'm asking is if any other companies offer something similarWould love to at...

Powering Legacy Audio Speaker System
I'm new to this so I'm a little unfamiliar with the difference between receiver and integrated amp.

Recommendations for modest budget
1)I don't mind used equipment at all.  2)4k is important and I stream that content through an Xbox One X 
Technics vs. Focal
Thank you to everyone for your input, it's great having the ability to bounce ideas off of people that don't get a commission based on my decision.  I ended up purchasing the Focal Arias because they sounded great to me and I couldn't pass up gett...
