Looking for a new processor.

Looking for some help with a processor. I have a very simple system at my home. I have one of those huge open floor space great rooms that wont allow me any back speakers. I would love to possibly add some on the ceiling but I am not sure how effective they would be. Thats down the road as well.

But for now, I have a 3.2 system and I use it for our daily TV, movies but Id say I use it more for music than anything. My set up is the following.

Emotiva MC1 Processor (Looking to upgrade)

Emotiva XPA 3 (Gen3) Amp

SVS Prime Pinnacle Towers

SVS Prime Center

Dual SVS 2000 subs

Eversolo A6 Streamer

Pioneer Blueray

Screen is Samsung 75" QLED

I use a ROKU ultra to stream YoutubeTV and use streaming apps.

My music source is Tidal Max through the Eversolo

I do have a cheap phono but it also needs upgrading.

I would like to upgrade my processor. The Emotiva MC1 is giving me some connection issues and Im just ready to upgrade. Id like something that does both theatre for my current 3.2 but have some capability to got to 5.2 at some point or maybe some ceiling speakers. Something along the line of quality and priceline of the existing equipment I have. I dont think I need a 5K processor. Maybe keep it $2500 or less

Any help would be appreciated.
