Thanks for the advice.
It also got me thinkling that there are other issues that are affecting my sound. First, this is one large rectangular room. It is a family room but it continues into a kitchen. So it is 13 feet wide by 36 feet long, with stone floors, a rug, 8 feet high smooth ceilings and with furniture. So I really don't think that I realized the effect that causes. I do have Arc room correction on the Anthem D2, but that is a big space. I need to redo my Arc set up measurement points.
Second, I probably really do need a good fast sub for the space for a depth of sound and to compensate for the room size and the sound reflections. The old sub I have now is poor quality.
As to power, I thought that the McCormack DNA HT5 was a warm well powered amp, but maybe I need more power or higher quality? It is supposed to be 5 channel 150w per channel. I did use a Rotel 1075 5 channel amp before and replacing it with the McCormack was quite an improvement. If not the McCormack, what would be the right amp?
I do like a speaker with detail and neutrality as opposed to warm and colored and lacking in detail. I want to hear the seperations of instruments, etc.
Thanks for the feedback and all suggestions are appreciated.
