Anthem str pre amp

Thanks for the feedback. I dont see Anthem mentioned much on this forum.  Maybe because they are associated more with home theater??From my personal (very limited) experience and from the research ive done, Anthem is very good.  At least in their price range which is at my max range. Im debating on buying the new NAD M66 or the Anthem pre. The M66 seems solid and has about everything.  The Anthem allows more flexibility for future tinkering however.  

Thanks again

FWIW, I have the STR Int and it is SUPERB.

If your path is to eventually add the str power amplifier to the mix, then yes. Still the preamplifier is a beast.
