I am moving to a new house soon and would like to upgrade my system for home cinema and wireless audio/video streaming. I use Netflix / Sky but would like to stream from my Mac via Airplay if possible. I don't possess any physical media (almost all my music is FLAC) so don't require a BR drive. My current setup is over 15 years old - Marantz PM66SE and KEF Q35 floorstanders biwired with cable Talk Talk 3.1. The living room is 6 x 3.5 m with wooden floors. The system would be firing across the short axis, down one side of the room.
My budget is around £1500, to include a 40” or greater LED TV. At that price, I don't think 4K is viable but would consider stretching. I would like to keep the speakers if appropriate but would look to replace the Marantz with a home cinema amp. I'm not that fussed about 5.1 and was thinking about adding a centre / sub to the floorstanders. I think I would like the AV reciever to be the hub of my home network and maybe add multiroom at a later date. Keeping the remotes down to a manageable number would also be good!
I have been out of the hifi game for over a decade (as you can tell from my system ) and would value some sage advice. Cheers!
