Need Suggestions on Which Preamp/Processor & Separate Amp to Choose

Need help on choosing which Preamp/Processor to choose to match specs to my 6.3 Soliloquys and matching rears and center. Mainly listen to music but need the HT also. My budget is an economical as possible upwards to $2500. Currently considering tubes possibly jolida or antique sound lab? Would like your ideas on which preamp/processor and amp (if jolida or antique sound lab does not match specs and power requirements of my Soliloquys).

Any suggestions where to purchase for my budget? Clearance and demo and used but need ideas on what would really match my Soliloquys.

Last, my Onkyo DVD is failing. Would like to identify which DVD players as very good source I could pick up used? Appreciate any ideas!
