$4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED

Family room 4.2 system click to view, (la Scala’s, 2 subs, 2 back ceiling speakers)

Profile 1: Music listening 2.2 & Profile 2: Movies 4.2

Option 1: Anthem AVM70 (i have amps to power the speakers) ($4000)

Option 2: Yamaha RX-A6A coupled with Denafrips Pontus 2 ($4000 combined)

Which would you go for? Option 1 has superior room correction including the ability to setup 2 independent LFE channels. Option 2 has superior DAC.

If it was me I'd get the processor you like ( room correction is a big plus IMO) and use low powered tube amps on the LaScala's. 150wpc is so much more then you will ever need considering 2-8 watts is plenty for any application on the 105db LaScala. Personally I'd get the Anthem over the Yamaha just because of the room correction, its that good. and run low power tube amps on the mains. The room correction will integrate the tube amp and the rest so no worries there and the subs will be controlled as well. Sub integration will be the hardest thing with horns so I'm betting the room correction will help quite a bit here.
