WHICH ONE TO BUY?
BillGreetings! Quick answers to your questions: many AVR will not be stable into 4 ohm speakers. Unless an AVR specifically says it is, that AVR is not stable into 4 ohms. In terms of receivers that likely are stable, look to Anthem, NAD as previo...

Which processor/preamp....
Hi Bob,If you're looking at active speakers plus a preamp for $400, I'm not sure you can hit your target. The reason why I say that is because the speakers typically sold here on audiogon that are active are generally pretty pricy and are few and ... 
Netflix streaming, is 11.5 mbps enough?
Phil, gla it's proved to be a great solution for you. Enjoy! 
Is it worth it to add a 2 channel preamp???
Joseph,I'm very curious to see what you feel like you are missing. The Anthem D2v is simply a spectacular preamp in both two channel and multichannel music. RegardsTheo 
Pre pro-go balanced or not nad v. Onkyo
My understanding is that at that price point, the Onkyo is not a true balanced design. As another example, my current Anthem is not either--even though it has balanced connectors. The only truly "balanced" unit I've had was a Proceed PAV years ago... 
Excellent Cary & Oppo support
DB great to hear! I've always been a vocal supporter of Anthem support as well. You're right to highlight when companies go above and beyond the call of duty as their standard business practice.

If you are looking at RCA then look at the breakout cable that comes with the ROKU. Do you have toslink inputs on your receiver? The AppleTV has toslink out. The other option is take RCA out from your HDMI enabled TV. 
floor standing speakers for surrounds?
Change the crossover to 110. See how that works. Let the sub do more work. Check with pioneer or the manual on how to setup direct radiating speakers. That may or may not be an issue. Is your speaker setup relative to primary also at the proper an... 
floor standing speakers for surrounds?
If you are using an Anthem with ARC, you'll get all the graphs for every speaker. If you are using Audyssey, you won't and you need to upgrade to the pro version (approx additional $750 if your processor supports it).What crossover are you seeing ...

AppleTV has the best Netflix UI by far and the audio and video quality are top-notch. I have a Roku too and I prefer the AppleTV Netflix experience just fine. And yes, 11.5mbps is just fine.
