I've just purchased and recieved the Epic 80/600 and an Axiom 1400-8. I could bearly contain my JOY at recieving this equipment. I connected my M80's, my VP150 and my EP 600 Sub to my Sony 5300ES reciever.(just waiting for my renovator to come and fish the wires for the QS8S). I immediately relized i needed an Audio/Video Processor. So the hunt began. I noticed Anthems D2. Specs look amazing. Suggested is 6600 dollars Canadian. First, what is the real world price? Has anyone purchased the unit for less? Secondly, is there any other product with the D2's features that is a little bit more price friendly to a Family Man? With four Kids...and a Wife.

Suggestions?
