So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system

audiotroy,

All very good ideas, and I do have a streaming question.  If a receiver is hooked up to my lan, can I use a NAS to stream my own collection ? And is there a device to make a 15 year old receiver wireless? IE, something to plug into a aux input.

Thanks in advance.

1: Sound quality for both music and theater
2: Quality or room correction
3: Does it have all the inputs and outputs that are required
4: Does the receiver have any streaming apps for music that I may want to access unless I am comfortable with adding an external box.
5: Reliability of product
6: Ease of servicibility
7: Upgradability modular NAD or non Modular everyone else.

Hi phil9624,

This system is going to be mostly for video.  My TV is less than a year old so I can stream most apps already. (Don't need the Roku anymore).  So the Sony X800 will handle most all of my other video needs, I think. The house I'm in for the next 3 years has Cat 4 and RF everywhere, even the kitchen.  If need be I can feed Cat 6 or 7 most places. I have another room in the basement that has a mostly audio system. I probably will only be able to use 5.1 here,  but want to be able to go 7.1 or 7.2  when I move again. And being able to stream my own music between systems would be cool!

LOL,
I'm using a Sony - DE445, a pair of Klispch RF3ii's and subwoofer from Cambridge Audio.  As I said before, I'm at least 15 yyears out of date on all this.  So far we  bought the TV and the 4K Blueray this year.  I'll check out the Yammy tommorow. 

Thanks for the tip.
