All,
While I recognize the importance of speakers in a complete audio system, I must respectfully disagree with your conclusions.
I selected the S312s after a great deal of critical listening. I think it is presumptuous and erroneous to assume that a speaker for which I paid $600/pair (list $1000 at that time) would provide poor sound.
I do, in fact, look for excellent value. The S312s still carry a rating of 4.7 on audioreview.com. That rating is in place despite having 84 reviews. That suggests they sound pretty good.
Additionally, the BIC DV62CLR center channel still holds a rating of 4.84 with 56 reviews. When I purchased that center, it was a best buy on audioreview.com.
Kevin agreed during the head-to-head that my speakers sounded good.
Setting aside the speaker question, I can still hear a difference between the two units; even on my "cheap" speakers. The Anthem just produces better sound.
I can hear a difference. Every other discussion is academic.
