I'll probably regret asking, but what are you doing with 24 channels? Just fulfilling dreams

Drifting Dreamer
Need someone to reign in your past To make the current moments last And when you drift to yesterday To bring you back into today
Need one to tether you to now And help you keep a solemn vow To end the pain and the sorrow Of any travel to tomorrow
Together we will catch the tide The tide that time seeks to hide The tide of rippling waves of change That none of us can rearrange
Each wave is pregnant with endless dreams Hopes and prayers burst at the seams And when each wave of chance collapses The present lives in our synapses
If the present lives inside our skull Is the outside just an empty hull? To live in now is nothing more Than riding waves that break at shore

Essentially with any top quality Pre-Pro, you tend to get some of the next-gen technology that you would not have in the same companies current generation of AVR's. Also, because there are no amps that require space, items like bigger power supplies and shielding tend to be better along with features like both balanced and unbalanced ins and outs are part of the package. Just as an example, the new Yamaha top of the line AVR, RX-A8A has the same DACS as my 4 year old Yamaha CX-A5200 Pre-Pro that weighs 33 pounds, the same weight as some mid-line AVR's.

Ouch... The M17 Vi2 processor is 8K. A bit north of what I was planning to spend. Nice looking unit though.
The T778 Reciever is $3500. Exactly why i've not bothered with NAD over the years. Couldn't justify the price. I know it almost feels like a cliche but, Denon is just simply solid and dependable. Sad to hear about not getting Anthem that far north. Could look for something used possibly from a private seller. So far i've been pretty happy with the new Denon and Axiom ADA combo, when the ADA is working.

I did find a distributor that will ship Anthem to me. - Audio Advice.
I have not ever purchased from them before. They seem legit though.
I bought a couple more fans that run off USB. Hopefully, this AVR holds out a few more months.

Audio Advice is dealer out of North Carolina and a big promoter of Anthem products and if you can get one, get it. They have quite a few Youtube videos on Home Theater from where I became familiar with them. Ironically, back early this year when I was trying to buy an AV70 Pre-Pro, the dealers I contacted said I had to go on a waiting list, somewhat ironic considering the fact that I live only 20-25 minutes away from the Paradigm/Anthem H. O.

I lack the required amount of IQ points to interpret your meaning - obviously.

No. You probably never worked with ivy league MBA-type VPs who thought they knew technology better than their engineers.
Stick with your fans as long as you can until the supply chain crisis is over.

I'm leaning toward the Anthem AVM70 processor and the Anthem MCA 325 3-channel amp. It appears the AVM 70 is now in stock but was on backorder the past few weeks. The amp is still back ordered.... I need to hold off till after the new year anyway. Been spending too much money on other crap I don't need.
