Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30

I'd like to make a response here...
I noticed nobody is responding regarding the Anthem pre's.
I've been wondering what the AVM's REALLY SOUND LIKE! I hear very little feedback or solid reviews or "media push" or responses on them from reviewers. This concerns me.
I've only briefly heard the AVM2 once, on a very poorly set up system, and it sounded BLAH!
I'd like to think these pieces offer some sonic "goodies". But I just don't hear anyone harping about these!
Anyone have any extensive feedback on these compared to other better pre's out there?....like the krell's, maybe EAD's, etc? I just don't know about these unit's, which otherwise have some good looking features, and APPEAR to be more "audiphile grade" sonically...but couldn't say myself.
Anyone?...anyone?

I want to add that the avm20 is an awesome piece. I am a total cheap head and have NEVER spent anything like this for a piece but after auditioning, the anthem is a clear winner. What made me check it out was just the fact that I did see a ton of good things about it. At first its not the best looking piece ever made and never heard of the name anthem before looking at processors so I was a bit biased to want nothing to do with it. I am glad i did!

What did I try you ask! Being I did not want to go much over $3,200 I did not try the big boys like Theata and such, But did try B&K 50, which in two channel was a joke to the anthem. Also a joke to the anthem was the was rotel 1068 though in fairness to rotel this piece is only $$1,800. The krell showcase ($4,000) which I had for a month was the closest to the anthem. In sound it was not nearly as sweet in two channel. The anthem was smoother and also remember the Krell not as localized with the singers voice. Sometimes when the anthem was playing I thought that my center channel was on.

If you go for the avm20 make sure its the latest one. I bought mine this April, so it has the latest board which will allow me to get the "x" for prologic2 when its available to download. Ask if you need to know how to find out if its the latest board. I'm glad to have the 20 because I have seen this piece in both black and silver and though black can be fine, I really think it does no justice for this piece and I believe the 30 is only in black??? The silver looks awesome with this piece and is worth having the latest avm20 for!

They will pry my AVM20 from my cold dead hands. I might sell it as a last resort to keep from loosing the house. I just realized I will still need music when I'm living under the Boardwalk; screw the house.
