Anthem STR pre and power amplifier

am looking at purchasing, and in what research I can do on the Internet, this seems to be the best option for a dual use system for home theater and two channel listening. In this price range, is there anything else out there that I might be missing. At this point the main reason for purchase is the dual sub pass-through. So any ideas thoughts or great inspirations one might have in this form. I would greatly appreciate. Thank you very much

@evo100 we’re almost brothers in arms. Alas, I use a REL acoustic sub. But I shall enjoy belonging to the brotherhood!

I've had the STR Stack for a while now and I still enjoy it. Take some time (if you haven't already) and join the Anthem FB pages and you'll find a ton of info on making ARC easier. There's also some YT videos that take a deep dive if you're more techy. (see my virtual system)

Chiming in a bit late but I got mine about a month ago. I upgraded from their integrated and boyyyyy what a difference. Great definition and response. I currently have them hooked up to B&W 804 D3 and the sound is a big difference from their integrated. It makes the B&W sing effortlessly with lots of headroom.

I wasn’t planning on buying it but it was offered to me for a song and a dance.

I am looking at getting Focal Sopra 2 with it.

Edit:  Aesthetics is very important to me.  I got mine in Silver.  The integrated was this big black ugly box and I hated the looks of it.

@tobaccoleafpie ended up getting the STR preamp and amplifier along with a Innuos Pulse music player. Am over the moon with the performance of this machine. Running a KEF LS 50 meta, thinking of something else but I’m happy for now. It really is going to take something to top.
