Option 2) Emotiva UMC-1 pre/pro and UPA-7.

It would be driving a Paradigm Studio 7.1 configuration (Front:Studio 60, Center:CC-690, Side:ADP-590, Rears: Studio 20)

Any recommendations are appreciated.

I would recommend option 1! I have the a Yamaha AVR with an XPA-3 and couldn't be happier! Sure, there are better amps out there, but for the price and power Emotiva is the way to go. Nothing but positive experience from their amp!
