Anthem STR pre and power amplifier


am looking at purchasing, and in what research I can do on the Internet, this seems to be the best option for a dual use system for home theater and two channel listening. In this price range, is there anything else out there that I might be missing. At this point the main reason for purchase is the dual sub pass-through. So any ideas thoughts or great inspirations one might have in this form. I would greatly appreciate. Thank you very much

@erik_squires @mofojo thanks so much for your responses, after much joyous decision-making I went ahead and ordered it today. I think my life is about to get much much happier and joyful! Happy face, happy face,

 

On Soundstage.com there is an incredibly detailed article about how to use the Anthem STR preamp and the DSP feature.

Congrats on your purchase!  The full HT pass thru sealed the deal for me. I use the STR preamp for two channel listening and a Marantz pre/pro for HT.

Have been very pleased with ARC. My room is problematic and ARC has helped me make significant improvements in sound quality, especially below 350 Hz. There are a lot of parameters and targets you can experiment with. Some are not documented well, but the main ones are very clear. 
 

Have fun!
