Anthem STR or BHK (PS Audio) preamp?? Thoughts


I'm a big fan of my Anthem STR and it's ARC feature but I'm really not using it that much.  Has anyone been about to kinda compare it and the BHK preamp?  Any thoughts?

1. Room isn't treated well enough to get the maximum out of ARC yet.
Isn't the fact that the room is not well treated a greater reason to use ARC? 
 @golfmd2 not really.  ARC cannot fix a bad room..  It CAN help but it's assistance is limited if you feed it junk to begin with.  It helps a bad room but won't FIX a bad room.
Of course it won't FIX a bad room but it will do wonders for bass reproduction, the toughest part of any room to optimize.  ARC is there to help with rooms that cannot be optimized due to space, wives, etc.  It's not a "cherry on top" tweak.  If the room is sonically optimized then the need for room correction diminishes.
