New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
Ok Karen. You don't know my "hodgepodge little system" nor does it matter.  You were looking for input on something you didn't know the answer to correct?  That's all I am doing.  Good lord, has this chicken pecked anyone else's toes on here?All t...

Well, I said "I believe" meaning I didn't claim to know the absolute answer.  Came here looking for more information that could sway me either way.  This all coming from a guy who recently asked if an iPhone/iPad is a good streamer source.  Admitt...

@soix that wasn’t a defense. It was a response. Read the first sentence again.. If I had credible evidence to the answer then why do you suppose I would post this topic in the first place?  
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
If I had credible evidence I wouldn't have asked the question.  I would go denigrate other posters without providing evidence - as you have done.  I'm looking/searching for credible evidence one way or the other.  That's what a forum is for.

@t-mac thanks for your input.  I'm primarily 2 channel too, but I have another system for that, so I'm not worried about the 2 channel ability of the receiver/processor.I'm sure I'd be "fine" with the receiver but @soix acts like there would be a ... 
KEF Reference 5 aftermarket plinths, base, or feet options?
@goose that's what I was afraid the answer would be ha.  I got a quote for $1500.  After already buying the Isoacoustics Gaia ii, I'm really not wanting to fork out that much for these.  But, let me drink about it and see what happens.

I'm not drilling new holes in my $20k speakers.  Also, as noted in the original post, the holes are too "centered" to be stable without outriggers. 
Killer used integrated for <$500?
I have a Mcintosh MA7900 that is another one to look at but they're not cheap.

10x the Musical Fidelity m2si.  I loved this amp and should have never sold it.  40wpc is BS.. I don't care what it's rated, it played with the big boys.

I said my front speakers are Khorns, the in-ceiling/rear are Episode and Klipsch RP600m (surround) which are MUCH less efficient than the front two.  Those are the ones I said I wanted the multichannel amp for.  While it's very hard to a/b test an...

@mahler123 I don't have a "poor" opinion of my speakers, it's just that they're inwall or placed in the rear corners behind my head rendering many audiophilly (my word don't use it) terms and qualities useless.  @soix the amp is to offer more clea... 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
Why do I need the amp?  Because I want to send clean power to my other speakers to help them keep up with the Klipschorn mains.  As for your last statement, after some reading, it appears most people cannot tell a difference in the processing qual... 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
@mahler123 yep, I'm sure they use some "better" parts, but what makes something "better"?  Just because it's more expensive doesn't make it better.  Again though, so maybe they use top shelf parts etc etc.  Seems like a lot to play a soundtrack th... 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
Yes I have multichannel amps for all channels.  I know I know, you always hear the processors use better parts and I get that.  But, on movies/surround, how much does that really matter?   This isn't two channel listening and most of the speakers ... 
What kind of listening chair
Just make sure your cushion chair isn't messing with you ears and you're good.  No big grandpaw cloudy chairs.
