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

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!

These are decent for the money, but you’re better off buying something else maybe a better integrated from Mola Mola for example.

@yyzsantabarbara  thanks for the article @zgas-music sounds like our lives are similar at least the music 🎼 part. @pennfootball71 one can dream 💭 alas the inheritance wasn’t that much. 

Congratulations. Good company and good stuff. My MXR 720 has been very reliable and still serves me well in my TV room. And ARC is fully customizable when you dig in and use a laptop. Good luck!

@fredapplegate Thanks, The room correction intimidates me has me terrified. Hopefully all my fears will be resolved and the process will be smoother than the future tripping that is going through the noggin.
