Processor DACs
Dunno if any processor passes EQ-ed digital from its digital outputs. Never tried but, somehow, I doubt it. 
Parents need clear sounding 2 ch HT
Do they want/need HD and HDMI? If so, you need to buy them an AVR. I know of no 2 channel receivers that support HDMI. They can keep the same two speakers although adding a center channel might be of assistance in voice clarity.Kal

Right. Somehow, I never think in only 2 channels. ;-)Kal

Edorr is correct in suggesting this option but some people have a bias against incurring the additional A/D/A conversions, regardless of how well they are accomplished.Kal

In general, the improvements due to room correction are instantly apparent compared to the subtle differences among quality DACs. 
Connect eq to amp
Hard to be certain as there are, often, surprising variabilities among different equipment but, in general, yes.Kal 
Anthem vs Integra
Grandtech-First, the number of filters is important, of course, but since the public is not informed of those numbers, one cannot make a choice so simply.Second, the distribution of filters across the audio spectrum is important and, with XT32, Au...

Help, Manley Mahi, Oppo-BDP93
What is your issue? You have not stated it. 
Using AVR Direct Mode for external amps
Too general. What sources? What price category? 
using a sub with full range versus or monitors ?
Your choice-making procedure is, imho, a little backwards. Why decide on having a sub (and a particular one) and then open discussion on the main speakers?That said, there is an advantage in that (1) using a sub not only increases power handling i... 
using 2 centers as mains
Using them horizontally is decidedly sub-optimal. Your phantom center imaging will suffer.Kal 
using 2 centers as mains
If you use the Petrels vertically, they should be OK. I cannot say that it makes sense or is stupid since you are deciding on matters other than sound. 
dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd?
It is unlikely to be a DVD-A and the mixdown is, imho, unlikely to be superior to CD. 
dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd?
Is it dts 5.1 or is it DVD-A? Not the same as the former is a lossy format and the latter is lossless.Kal
