Anthem has a better room calibration ( ARC ) than Yamaha ( YPAO )
will you go Atmos in the futur ?
Be aware that in two years , what you buy today will be obsolete.
You may look at Marantz ( Audyssey ) and used McIntosh ( Audyssey- Roomperfect) .
AVR in a HT Bypass setup
A while back I separated my HT & 2-channel setup after discovering HT Bypass. I have a Parasound Hint6 powering Kef LS50s for Left/Right/Sub channels only and the AVR doing the rest of the 5 channels (Center, rear surround, L/R ambiance channels).
My Pioneer 1120K is a bit long in the tooth and I want to upgrade to something with better calibration - especially for 2 subwoofers.
Thoughts on where to look?
