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

I have been a big Anthem fan for a while, based on the sound quality of the previous generations of processors but ultimately have been disappointed by the choices made by the room correction as well as by the lack of control.

I'm pretty sure when I get my next system I'll be using Marantz as a processor instead.  The top end units allow for 100% manual EQ settings, which for me have been better.

@erik_squires @mofojo thanks so much for your responses, after much joyous decision-making I went ahead and ordered it today. I think my life is about to get much much happier and joyful! Happy face, happy face,

 

On Soundstage.com there is an incredibly detailed article about how to use the Anthem STR preamp and the DSP feature.
