Mikey,
Most sub $2500.00 AV receivers sound pretty mediocre in two channel mode (mine included). Arcam and Marantz do the best job (my opinion) of any of the major brands in the $1000.00-$2000.00 range in reproducing music, as many receivers can sound "bright" or "artificial" when you listen to them.
I looked at upgrading to a seperate pre/pro, but found nothing under $4000.00 that was noticably better than my AV receiver. The B & K 305/307 receivers were solid performers (at $3000.00), but they did not make a good match with my speakers. Your experience could be different.

Good luck, Michael
