In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment
This is the Simaudio unit. It was previously the i3.3. I've heard this unit in person for an extended listening session driving Dynaudio speakers. I really, really liked it--a lot. Amazing control of the speakers--especially the mid and lower bass...

The simaudio integrated at 100wpc. I think it is the 3.3. It's on sale now as they came out with a new model. Fantastic sound and build. Will be about 3k. That is great because you support local dealers and get full warranty. Recent issues of ster...

Will it work? Yes. But you will need a speaker selector for that. If you are going to be absolutely hard-core audiophile and do serious critical listening dont get a speaker selector and instead spend $219 and get an Emotiva A-100 it's a perfect s... 
Integra DHC-80.2 Audio Mode Click
I don't own an 80.3 but have read in several reviews about this clicking and that it is normal. However google around the AVS forums and see if what they are describing is the same. Kal sometimes posts here and has an 80.2 which he also reviewed s...

Still confused. Are you then not going for any in ceiling speakers?If that is a yes then spend 4-5k on full range fronts and the rest on electronics. You can get away with a 2 channel Emotiva amp to give your speakers plenty of juice and get a nic... 
In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment
Confused. You said 2 channel amp but earlier you mentioned home theater. So do you want a multichannel amp or a multichannel plus 2 channel amp? My off the cuff suggestion is to go 2.5k front speakers with 2.5k for electronics plus 1k for sub and ...

Your setup, then, is almost identical to mine. I have free-standing Revel fronts and all in ceiling for surrounds and rears. From personal experience I can tell you that this setup is spectacular in my house. Revel has done an amazing job with mat... 
In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment
Ddelisle,Assuming you want aesthetics and sound quality and you cannot go with free standing, then in-wall and in-ceiling are your next best choice. In terms of "issues" I would avoid intersections between the walls and ceiling as much as possible... 
New or Upgrading Pre - Pro
If your budget is 2k you have lots of options. You didn't mention your speakers or amp, so I'll assume if 2 channel is your priority then you have full range speakers or great monitors with a sub. In terms of new, you have the Marantz ($1600) and ...

Jim:I'll email you on that. The Anthem faceplate has everything the OSD does. So I would not be as concerned. The anthem manual is great. I'll shoot you the other info via email.  
Anthem vs Integra
To way oversimplify things, ARC and Audyssey MultiXT/32 Pro are probably in the same league. I'm sure both are great as several reviewers have stated. Some have a bias of one to the other and some don't. ARC on the receivers does have some limitat... 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
Dealer demo from a local dealer I've done business with for a long time. I did *not* do a direct comparison with the MRX. 1) I have all balanced cables in my setup and2) I didn't want a limited ARC system 
Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz??
I was able to get it at 50% off. So the price between that and a new/used Integra was minimal. 
In-celing and in-wall speaker choice
I have Atlantic Technology in-wall speakers in my secondary home theater. They have dipoles for the surrounds. Because I only have one side wall, I mounted the dipoles in-ceiling. Works great. I have both Revel and Atlantic technology in-ceiling a...

All there doesn't appear to be a way to email privately. I told the moderators when my post with my email address was rejected. Not sure why unable to email within audiogon
