Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1

I currently own an Anthem AVM-30 which I use primarily for home theater. I have a separate two channel system. My issue is that I am tired of manually pushing the two separate 3-HDMI switches that I have for the 5 following pieces of equipment. (Sony Play Station 3, Oppo BDP-83SE, Verizon FIOS, Apple Mac Mini and D-Link Boxee). I heard that the Emotiva sells direct and was wondering if it is a myth that the $699 UMC-1 is equivalent to the $2999 AVM 30. Also, one of my primary reasons for switching is that I can do away with the two HDMI switch boxes and simply use the inputs on the UMC-1. Unfortunately, I will have to get new S/E cables or adapters instead of balanced cables. Am I missing anything important?

I responded to points made by another poster. Again if you have an issue with it don't read it. If you feel that you have the authority to edit anything I say I would reconsider. What is always old is when an "enlightened" party enters into a discussion and feels they will "set things straight". I will interject anywhere I desire and anytime I feel the need, and if this irks you so what. Remember you are just another member, nothing more and nothing less. Are you going to run to a moderator and get the thread closed? The bad cop routine is weak and best served elsewhere.

As I like to say from time to time...."it's just audio gear and today's good stuff is tomorrow's garbage."

So relax, peoples.

And happy new year to all.

At least you got one thing right. That is your right as it is mine. Funny you should mention irony because you have done nothing but play bad cop in the Emotiva threads. I guess it's okay for you to "set things straight" as you so eloquently put it. Aren't double standards grand?

To the OP, sorry I got this thread off track. Hopefully you will get the information you need. I will not reply again and will leave the last word to Mr. last word himself.
