Don i realize you are doing a huge upgrade all at once so funds have to be used accordingly.I wasnt trying to upsell you merely adding my unsolicited 2 cents with hope of helping you reach the nirvana we all seek
Ah Socketman, many thanks for your perspective and all the help.
Truthfully I'm still debating the receiver. I have a little time to decide that. the room we're building just finished dry wall.
Meanwhile I'm keeping my eye on E-bay pricing for the Anthem MRX 720 and the Denon EVRX6300H.
The Denon is readily available from reputable sellers for $1750. The Anthem, not so much.
If I have to pay full retail of $2499 for the Anthem, plus need another $400 amp, the real cost difference between the two is $2899 versus $1750.
I totally believe the automated room correction for the Anthem is a huge selling feature, it's just the practical difference of $1150 seems like a lot.
