@whitesarhara, I have a C12000 that I use for two-channel listening and a separate Athem pre-processor for Home Theatre. For a while, I ran a trigger from the Anthem to the C12000 bypass and connected the front speaker out of the anthem to the C12000 channel 6. It was perfect but I decided not to use my more expensive amps and speakers for home theatre. I ended up purchasing the new Martin Logan on-wall speakers and an inexpensive 5 channel amp. Best decision for me.
My two channel system consist of: VPI Avenger Reference, MCD12000, Aurender A15, C120000, MC451, B&W 801D4.
