Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it?
 Why does everyone get upset when a dealer who 1. state who they are and 2. seem to honestly want to help posts here. Why get upset you know they are a dealer so filter out the sales talk and use the information they are giving if it helps. Don't ... 
To active speaker or not.. this is the question
ATC, PMC and Dynaudio is worth looking at if not expensive here in NA mind you the UK pound is quite deflated right now. I do head PMC is a bit dry and analytical sounding though. Wonder if there is anything else to look at closer to ? 
Have cartridges been known to fail (Grado)?
Highly unlikely both carts would fail, check the rest of your chain and do the above and check with a multi-meter the continuity of the coils in the carts. that said the coil wire is very small think smaller then a hair, so if not stored in a clea... 
Nbr and size of speakers for a large conference room
one suggestion would be to make the height of the speakers higher then the front row persons,  as to not blow them away but project over them to the back. rest seems ok just set up early and try it and move speakers etc if required.  
Newbie question.
ok then just plug the DAC/iphone into your Arc Pre and be done with it. Why go through the Sony if you have the Arc Pre go through the Arc as with the other inputs. Just note you will not get all the advantages of the Flac files but it will, even ...

Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k?
with your budget why go that old there are many better choices that are much newer for your budget.  
Newbie question.
why are you using 2 pre-amps? if your using the pre out of your sony why bother use the other (unkown model) pre- amp, just go directly to the amp from your pre out of your sony. lastly using your Iphone as a hi rez music device into your pre- amp... 
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.

Purchasing a Battery and Inverter to Run My PA
I think you have calculated incorrectly if each speaker is 70w power usage at its max power ( it should be rate max power) then the amps consumed would be (70w=115v X amps) so 115/70= 1.64 amps, note your speakers require 115v AC and draw 70w max ... 
Looking to purchase a new Reciever and I need some help!
another thing to consider if you need a HT pass through is most older recievers will have a tape loop that can be used as a HT Pass through.
