WOW!!
The Anthem paired with the XPA-3 plus running ARC has REALLY opened up my front soundstage. Don't think I will ever have the desire to go back to another Denon product. Considering I have owned about 5 Denon receivers in the past 8 years, that is saying a lot.
I would HIGHLY recommend other folks take a hard look at the Anthem receivers, especially with the 180 and M80s...
My only complaint was the lack of dual HDMI outputs since I have a projector and plasma. I purchased a powered splitter so it solved that problem.
Anthem doesn't add a a whole lot of bells and whistles...but they make a great sound producer.
