I'm setting up a new system that will serve both music and home theater, and I'm looking for suggestions on the processor/amp side of the equation. I have some specific requirements/desires which seem to limit my choices.

Here's what I'm looking for:
- Roon ready
- ARC or eARC input
- 4.2 surround capability (2 main speakers, 2 surrounds, 2 subs)
- Wireless capability for the surrounds (Bluesound?)
- Dirac (or other) room correction
- Good power for a large room (roughly 15' X 35')
- Trying to stay within a $3K USD budget for processing and amplification (somewhat flexible).

The NAD M10V2 seems to check all the boxes from a functional perspective, but I'm concerned about quality and reliability based on feedback here on ASR.
The Mini DSP SHD combined with an amp would handle the front L/R and subs, but I'm not sure how I'd integrate wireless surrounds or ARC.
Naim and Lyngdorf units seem to be under powered for my space.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
