jetsetter - I guess you better watch what you say/as any attempt at being a voice of reason, or simply realizing that we are talking pre/pro here not something god for bid REALLY important, and people tend to jump on you. It happened to me/but not to sweat it/I've added an SACD player to the mix and all I can say is wow!

On another note/notice the original thread grows at the HTF. Now some Anthem owners are experiencing hiss/static loudly when set up is set to large mains and large surrounds (think this was it) in their CENTER channel. Yet no one/nary a complaint bought the unit - oh yea its that "port" that will allow the "fix" on my $3200 product! Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
