Eric, I know you will post pics of your unit when you get it. I noticed a few of the hints you gave here and there, curious as to why you decided on the Anthem?

The candidates were rather limited considering everything I needed to do (dual HDMI output for two TVs with different capabilitities, exceptional up-scaling, flexible re-mixing for multi-zone, lots and lots and lots of inputs of all kinds and source configuration -- the only one having all I needed, with one spare, and tons of little other details).
I had my eye for a while on the ever-up-coming Outlaw 997, but it was still a compromise and the wait was getting ridiculous. In the end, this is the culmination of a 3-year project to replace my previous 20+year-old sound system. After years of helping on installations and calibrations of all kinds, I had initially planned on: Paradigm (speakers), Bryston (Amp) and Lexicom (pre/pro) with a hefty budget...
After I discovered Axiom, I managed to do step 1&2 within the budget of 1 step... Now I am finishing the 3rd item. As far as I'm concerned, I end up with something equivalent (when not slightly better), but at 60% of the original budget!
Can't wait!

I keep expecting to hear they finally scrapped the Outlaw997.

That would be a shame because it is/was going to be good value proposition.

It's not all completly 100% negative... On top of re-doing my office (which was not planned), this morning I am cleaning walls and ceilings... I guess life had decided I needed to pay my dues a bit more...

Yippee! Landlord just come in. He's going to be back around 18h30 tonight to do my holes! Sounds like everything will fall into place one after the other!

As should have been expected... Just got a call from landlord. His car broke down one hour from Montreal... Holes pushed to tomorrow... So now there's a race: what will arrive first, the cables, the D2v or the holes? What suspense!
