I too have been going back and forth between the AVM30 and the C2.
I spoke to a dealer in another state then I live in and he has both of them in his showroom. Wish I could compare them. He tells me that sonicly the C2 sounds a little better. Feature wise the C2 is ahead of everyone. No one has bass management and DSP's for the 5.1 analog inputs for SCAD's and DVD-Audio the way the AVM30 does. Anthem also has been coming out with updates every 2 to 3 months. Others just say they can be updated, then don't release any.
I'm going to go with the AVM30. Multi-channel music and movies are important to me. Two channel is dead.
