What tier do you consider Anthem integrated?

this is a hard call, anthem is good gear, quite well made, and arc room correction can be very impactful in some (actually many) rooms in terms of improving sound quality that is heard

that said, pass labs would sound a little nicer, warmer, less overtly solid state-ish, is built even better, but they simply don’t do room correction

if your room benefits from room correction the sonic impact of that would greatly outweigh the slightly better sound of the pass without arc, i would think...

If you are interested in ARC perhaps try one of these incorporated into your system.

I was interested (to EQ wide band single drivers), but do not have a SmartPhone or Apple screen to run the ARC.

This is kind of a weird question.

I’d say I’d apply these two products differently.

Pass has a distinct sound which IMHO does best with certain speakers than others. Anthem is a high value integrated with an ARC that will help even a noob get the most out of their subwoofer.

If Anthem ever actually releases Roon support I'll be udderly (hahah) shocked!

I've owned the Anthem and thought it was really good- especially for the price 

room correction is the real deal

i thought the sound was transparent and reliably good. Wont compete with amps orders of magnitude more expensive but I believe that's typical 

excellent value and personally I'd take a relatively new Anthem over comparably priced fifteen year old gear 

After years od having spectral gear, my expectations of solid state build quality are high.  When you looki inside the anthem the boards were flimsy appearing, on angles , bevel my Yamaha avr was better quality construction.   I beautiful casework with midfi guts     Stick to their avr which are competent
