    Anthem avm 60, Marantz 8802a, Emotiva XMC-2 processors

    I ended up with the 8805 which is a reliable performer the only drawback being Audyssey which is old in the tooth eq. Software. Again looking at the AVM70 and Audiocontrol amps to drive these JTR speakers. Went with 2 210RTs and a 210RM for center, 110HT for surrounds and 2 RS1s for subs, if I...

    Anthem AVM60 7.1.4 Preamp/Processor

    I have been looking to upgrade my Marantz 7702mkll processor and have been looking at the Avm60, I will not have 16 channels at the most 7.2.4. The othere pre-pros are the Marantz 8805 used for about 2k, or the XMC-2, but have about ruled it out due to reviews of buggy applications. The others...

    CES 2020: Sony, Samsung, and LG Rollout NEXTGEN TV Capable TV Models

    Isn't that the truth. Say, let me ask you a question. If you were buying a new processor what one would you buy? AVM60, 8805, XMC-2, or what in this price range?

    Anthem avm 60, Marantz 8802a, Emotiva XMC-2 processors

    Have to say looks interesting, I probably do not need more than a 7.2.4 setup so 16 channels is overkill but the smaller one might be a good choice of it not to buggy. We will see when theyn begin shipping.

    Anthem avm 60, Marantz 8802a, Emotiva XMC-2 processors

    I am 99% sure I will go with the Anthem but am going to wait a week until CES is over. Would not want to buy one this week and next week find out they are coming out with the AVM 70.

    Anthem avm 60, Marantz 8802a, Emotiva XMC-2 processors

    What you are saying is what I have been hearing and reading about the .XMC-2 and 1.they are just to buggy to hang your hat on. Have a chance to buy a avm 60 B Stock for 2250 or a used avm 60 for 1800. What to do?
