Hi all,
Not been on for a while, busy with work, life & children! Anyway, I'm revamping my system! Moved into a much much smaller house. I have a Sony XB- something or other system. Its been ok, However, I'm wanting to move away from the Hi-Fi and grab a Receiver for home cinema, but also will have a standalone PC plugged into it for music enjoyment. I was toying with the idea of getting a HDMI capable receiver but I'm not really that kean, I think I'd rather go Optical, Hook up the TV,Sky, Xbox and I'll also grab a SOundcard with Optical for the PC. PC is the gateway to the music as everything is network stored. We play quite a bit of Youtube, either PC or Xbox will do that. We watch a fair few films on Netflix too, again PC or Xbox for that.
For now, I'll keep & use the Sony speakers and grab some floorstanders, after I've sorted out a Receiver (i'm thinking Yamaha).
I think my plan will work, also going to look at grabbing a Bluetooth to RCA device (Ebay £25) so I can join my phone to the Device and it will play through the Reciever, like wise for the missus. Link below:

Eventually, as mentioned above I'll grab some floorstanders for next to the TV, Will also see if I can pick up a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9's for the rears (maybe).
I think my plan will work! Off to ebay I go to look for a cheap Yammer, Dont want to spend loads right now as it's going to live in the TV cabinet - most likely with children prodding and poking.
I'll post before and after photos.
Advice greatly welcomed, first time I've ever really dabbled with receivers, I usually have systems with Integrated amps.
Thanks all.
