I've been really lazy, at a standstill for quite a while. I'm just posting here to say I got a stopgap receiver to last me until maybe the next generation of Anthem is out and, I have money for it. Stopgap again, I should say, since the Onkyo I got prior was supposed to last me until then. I ended up ordering a Marantz SR5010 from Accessories4less. Does it have all of the features I want? Of course not, but it seemed to hit the sweet spot for me right now, and I'll get the more complete package later.

I'll be happy to be able to watch Blu-rays again. Right now the only audio I get is from my PC, since I have the analog outputs from the onboard audio going directly to the amps. I have a Blu-ray drive in my PC, as well as the latest version of PowerDVD, but the audio isn't in sync, and I couldn't figure out where to fix that. I bet the problem goes away once I'm using HDMI for the audio again.

Anyway, hopefully the shipping is speedy!
