Hi Justin,
I would suggest looking at some of the Onkyo range, as I understand it there are some bargains to be had on these amps with something like the 906 coming in around that price point, and would be capable of powering the MTS speakers, but you could also later on add a poweramp if you feel they needed more...

50ft for HDMI cable might be too long and a repeater may be required to boost the signal, the other option would be to run CAT5 cable for Network ability and that should be sufficient to stream music over it as it does not send video over the CAT5 where as HDMI does...the longest HDMI cable I have used is 15M...

If you're looking for music and other media streaming, you'll be much better off with an external device like the Popcorn Hour or WD TV than anything built into an AVR.

I have just bought a Popcorn Hour A110 and it is a great little piece of kit, was going to go for the C200 but the A110 ticks all the right boxes and very reasonable money too...and agree that best off with devices like these for streaming, the squeeze box ones are very popular also.
