What should I do to upgrade?

[gnorthern]

I have a large great room (5200 square feet) and currently own a Marantz SR6013 (110w at 8 ohms), Klipsch RF-82 II speakers, RC-62 II center channel, R-41SA speakers Atmos speakers, THX surround and two ceiling speakers in the back, with a great Paradigm subwoofer. Good, but not great. I want to upgrade the sound without breaking the bank. The options I see are:
1. Stick with Klipsch. My wife won't agree to the Reference RF-7 III for decorative purposes (too tall), and a bit more than I want to spend. Would the RP-8000F II with matching Atmos speakers or the RP-8060FA II be a step up?
2. Get less sensitive speakers. Can my receiver give theatre like sound with 92db sensitivity or lower? I leave the surround sound speakers.

No matter how I cut it, to get the quality of sound I want replacing the receiver would go past the maximum I can spend.

Thank you.

Did you not make a typo? That space is 400 sq.ft. larger than my whole house.

For a space that big it is a total waste of money to spend any more on equipment. To fill a space that large requires a lot of power and huge speakers. It is truly a professional undertaking and requires a large knowledge base. I have designed and built out in spaces that large and larger in times past, but is is a massive undertaking.

For Atmos that space is too large for the domestic specs and requires a pro approach which for Atmos is very, very expensive. You will not fill that space with speakers driven from a receiver. That is just tinkering.
