Drive my new Dynaudio Focus 160

[Snick2040]

Just purchased the Dynaudio Focus 160 and it's center the 210 C. All 3 speakers are 4 ohms and rated to accept over 200w. I'd liked to use them for music and movies fairly equally. What would be a good setup to run these?

Ive been checking out the Denon X4000 but I know most receivers don't officially drive 4 ohm speakers. The features Im interested in are Airplay, upgradability to 5.1 surround sound and 7-8 hdmi-ins. Are there pre amp processors that do this?

I want to stay under or around 2 grand and these are the 3 options I think I have:

1. Take a receiver like the X4000 and call it a day.
2. A pre amp processor and a 3 channel amp (would have to add another amp later if i wanted surround)
3. Get a lower end receiver with pre-outs and take a 3 channel amp

I do like the idea of a processor and a dedicated amp like the Emotive XPA-3 driving the 3 fronts.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

For $2000, I would be here..
YAMAHA HTR-7065 like RX-V773 RX-A820 7.1 665w A/V Receiver AirPlay | Accessories4less this thing has so many features its not funny, dual hdmi outs, preouts, airplay, net, party mode, powered zone 2, ect... Great unit for the price, but I think they only have one left... I don't see a reason in spending thousands on an avr since there is always something new coming out, they are quickly outdated... another great option is the DENON AVR-3312CI 7.2 Network A/V Surround Receiver w/AirPlay | Accessories4less

but them only have 5-6 hdmi ins if that is a deal breaker you will have to do some searching for the perfect avr...

the denon has 6 and is $500 leaving you more than enough for amps... XPA-3 | 200W x 3 | Emotiva Audio | High-end audio components for audiophiles and videophiles, spanning 2-channel music systems, as well as 5.1 and 7.1 home theaters. Products include multichannel amplifiers, stereo amplifiers, and monoblock amplifier then use your avrs amp section for you surrounds later on, or bite the bullet and go to the xpa5 {I have both and they are both good choices}...

Another option Im not sure how you feel about used but http://www.ebay.com/itm/Outlaw-Audio-M200-Mono-Block-Amplifier-/231068772615?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item35ccc5a907 offer this guy $550 for 3 of these would be a good deal, I own 2 of the 2200's which are the same except they have xlr inputs and they are very nice too... {maybe buy all 5 and put together a 2channel music rig in the future }
