New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
@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
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. 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
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...

@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...

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. 
Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i
@cdrake thanks for your input.  How do you even get Manic Moose.. I looked and there's no iphone app.  I was able to connect to the player through MyBryston.com or something like that but its very basic and mainly used for firmware updates etc.  I... 
Best tube preamp ever
Bumping this old thread.. I'm looking for the best tube preamp for the $ and it's looking like even in 2021 the Schitt Freya + is still the gold standard.  The other great thing about the Schitt is they sell immediate on the secondary market so it... 
PS Audio M700s or older Bryston 4bsst / 4bsst2 ?
@jbuhl yeah you're right.  Just gotta find the right deal so I don't get hit too hard on the resell. 
PS Audio M700s or older Bryston 4bsst / 4bsst2 ?
Looks like no one has really dealt with both of these amps and can speak to it.  I'm really trying to find the best amp for my Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1s..
