Need help setting up a theater on a budget.


We moved to another state over the last 3 years and finally bought our home. Everything has been packed for the last 10 years or so. Currently, my system comprises Spendors Se8 and Elac 2.0 Debut for rears, a Mj 10 in sub which needs repair and an DK Desigh integrated amp, plus various cabling. However, I haven’t set it up yet. I’m new to the AV setup. I really don’t have much to spend on any additionals but 800 or so cash. The problem is I do not want rear wires running through my home. I’m fine with the center and fronts. Can you guys please recommend a receiver or any other component that I can integrate my current set up without adding wires for the rears. Do they have a wireless device. I have a new LG65 Oled, and I am trying to maximize its features on a budget. Any help is appreciated. Really don’t want a sound bar. I looking for something on no more than $100 total with hdmi 2.1, earc and other necessity to maximize my TV home theater.

What source would you guys recommend, ie. pre am or receiver?  Im refering to the brand.  I really like the transmitter thingy.  I never heard of that.  I will looked into it.  I have a huge bundle of 12 gauge to start, the rug may not be a bad idea.  I am pretty afraid of cutting the wall, don't want to mess up.  I really want to make the right choice on the right process in my budget.  Thanks again for you guys help.

@ellajeanelle this is exactly what I am looking for.  Although I still have a few questions.  My integrated has xlr inputs and rca inputs, but it does have 2 other outputs, Line and phone.  What will I use for the hdmi 2.1 port, to get video processing or do I need it?    It sounds like this will be great for utilizing the rears.  I will call Sweetwater to clarify setup.  Thank you so much, appreciate this?

I'm sorry, I have $1000 as my budget.  My apology,  I didn't realize I said that.

Awesome, thank you so much.  I have narrowed my search down to top choice Onkyo TX-RZ50 then Yamaha a4a. They both have the bells and whistle but the onkyo is more musical. I have a question, would I get better audio quality and home theater essential buying a processor that does the same thing with theater and streaming for the same price $900. Since I already have a integrated for the fronts later on pick up a small 3 or 5 channel for the rears. I am patient if I need to wait another month to pick up the other channel amp. Can you guys please give me suggestion of brands in that price range or a place to start.
