Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1

I currently own an Anthem AVM-30 which I use primarily for home theater. I have a separate two channel system. My issue is that I am tired of manually pushing the two separate 3-HDMI switches that I have for the 5 following pieces of equipment. (Sony Play Station 3, Oppo BDP-83SE, Verizon FIOS, Apple Mac Mini and D-Link Boxee). I heard that the Emotiva sells direct and was wondering if it is a myth that the $699 UMC-1 is equivalent to the $2999 AVM 30. Also, one of my primary reasons for switching is that I can do away with the two HDMI switch boxes and simply use the inputs on the UMC-1. Unfortunately, I will have to get new S/E cables or adapters instead of balanced cables. Am I missing anything important?

"I will not reply again and will leave the last word to Mr. last word himself."

Well thank you for your being so thoughtful. Since you had nothing to offer I am sure your apology will be accepted.

"Aren't double standards grand?"

Yea, especially when the one who comments about whining does more whining than a little girl with her pig tail stuck in a screen door.

Can't live with yourself if you don't get in the last word (and version of reality) can you....

"Attention!!! Attention!!! Pot calling kettle black!!!"

I understood the irony of my post. So I applaud you for being a master of the obvious. What I don't understand is why you feel you have to interject yourself into this? If you are above the fray, as you seem to imply you are, then why bother? I suppose you feel you are doing the audiogon community a service. Spare me your holier than thou diatribe and save the bad cop routine for another thread.

I responded to points made by another poster. Again if you have an issue with it don't read it. If you feel that you have the authority to edit anything I say I would reconsider. What is always old is when an "enlightened" party enters into a discussion and feels they will "set things straight". I will interject anywhere I desire and anytime I feel the need, and if this irks you so what. Remember you are just another member, nothing more and nothing less. Are you going to run to a moderator and get the thread closed? The bad cop routine is weak and best served elsewhere.
