So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system

i don't doubt that arcam/anthem are much better for critical music listening, but if you're avr is just for movies the difference between the mass-market fare may not be cost-effective for you. personally, i'd go to accessories4less, which has great prices on yamaha, pioneer elite, etc., and pick one of the higher models out--you'll save a couple grand.

Hi david_10,

In answering your queston, it's my understanding that the soundtrack Netflix, Amazon and DVD's are CD quality at best and MP3 quality for most. ( If I'm wrong,  please educate me ) So as I said earlier,  this system is going to be mostly for movies. I'm not putting together a audiophile system. No seperates, no DAC, no B & W 800 series speakers.

Thanks for the link you sent,  the spec's look great, but I didn't see a way for me to go wireless. I already have a theater system,  bringing me up to date with bells and whistles is what I was looking at.

So I know they make adapters to make a receiver Bluetooth. Does anyone know if someone makes an adapter to make an older receiver wifi? 

Thanks

That is what they are for. Many options.

In that range I would at least look at the Anthem.  I recently purchased the AVM60 and am thrilled with it. Built in ability to stream, room correction, etc. I have a 7.1.4 set up. Never thought I would add the additional channels for ATMOS but am so glad I did - both music and movies. Remainder of system is 10 yr old Rotel amplification and B&W speakers all around. For my price range, I am very happy with it .
