Critique my (possible) new system. Suggestions welcome!


I’m putting together a new system in my main living room and listening area. This system will do double duty for both movies and music in a 2.1 configuration. Main listening space is approx 15x15 but opens up into kitchen and dining room. Music listened to is a mix of all genres. Reason for upgrading is for better 2 channel listening. I have some vinyl but for now all my music will be streamed via Tidal and Amazon HD.

Current System:

RBH (emptek) e55 towers, SVS PB12nsd subwoofer, Yamaha Aventage Receiver, Sony 75 inch 4K tv, Sony 4K disc player, Panamax power conditioner, cheap cables.

Proposed new system:

Speakers: Elac Vela FS 407
Integrated Amp: Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 (connected to the Yamaha AVR for HT bypass)
Streamer: Either Bluesound Node2i or Audiolab 6000n
Cables: No clue and could use help here.
Subwoofer: SVS PB12nsd

Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations or critiques are welcomed and appreciate!

For video processing? I’m not sure I can connect everything through the Lyngdorf without the add on HDMI module which I do not have. I guess I’m not really sure to be honest. I figured it would be easier to keep the Yamaha and have all video components run through that, keep some flexibility for the future if I added a center channel or surrounds and let the new stuff handle the music listening. The AVR is only a year or so old but I’m still learning about all of this stuff. 
What would you suggest?
