| Anthem vs. Marantz for Focal speakers I prefer Anthem to Marantz, a little cleaner and hits a little harder I think. Best of all is ARC is better sounding than Audessy. Anthem is brighter and I like that, but keep in mind that you're going to use room correction anyway. That should ta... | |
| What the...have I just done ? Please explain... I don’t think that's the same as the Ground Zero tweak at all.
