How is the new AVM30? Anyone able to compare it to the 20? Nick says its a sideways move unless you need more component ins and outs. And anyone know anything about DPLIIx?

Man, I go to school for the summer and a new forum arises.

No, 2.13 does not have DPLIIx. That is in the future still. 2.13 is a public version of OS fixes and so forth, I believe. I don't see 2.13 on the website yet, but I'm sure it will be there in another day or two. Lee, The La Scala will be an amazing leap forward from a Forte. I still...

Lee, I'm sure you miss that McCormack stuff. Why Rotel after them? I started using pro amps, since I do live reinforcement for a living. But I am switching over slowly to more "hi-fi" amps, the Aragon being one. I hope you are able to get a Bryston or some equivalent. I'd rather have a set of...

Lee, I also have Klipsch Forte's and I use an Aragon 8008x3B for mine and it is awesome. Along with the AVM20, it really opened them up. I was almost going to sell them till I changed the amp. So, I'd also look into an Aragon before you choose. i was also going to buy a Bryston, but then...

Mark, One thing you can try is if your sub has a 3 prong plug, use a ground lift and see how that works.

Chris, This is a thread for the AVM20 2.x upgrade.If your rant has to do with that then say it. But have you first communicated with Anthem if you are having problems? They have addressed every problem i know of in good order that is possible for them. I think there is another forum that is...

Elliott, Since you are posting here, I assume you have a computer. You have but to go to the Anthem website-www.anthemAV.com and look for the software. If it's not the very latest posted there, you can just email tech support and tell them what is up and I'm sure Nick will email you the...

I'm sure Anthem has a variation of 2.12f that will help you out. And, if you have not heard from them already, then you surely will as soon as they can on Monday, the 22nd. My inquiries always are answered as soon as they have an answer for the question or request. It seems to be a quiet...

Electronics, in this age, are moving faster than ever. Things that are cutting edge when they are thought of are mostly old news by the time they reach the market. We all want the best possible. As for the AVM20, there will be a time that development will stop because it's uppermost capacity...

Same here. I can't imagine trading this unit just for what appears to be semantics to me. I don't have that kind of money to throw around. Perhaps anyone that is overly concerned over these issues should have bought something like the Theta Casablanca with interchangeable cards. Of course, its...

Here's some info about those multiple outputs, from conversations I've had with Nick at Anthem. Both the subwoofer and center second outputs are paralleled with the main outputs of each. This is because, for the subs, there are a number of speakers made now that have subs built in and need a...

George, Yes, I do use all 6 inputs and always have. Once I was able to upgrade and get Ultra2, I tried it and found that I was getting information from the rears. I must admit, though, that it wasn't always the greatest and I don't always use it because of that.

I use the 6 ch. S/E input for an analog converter of AC3-RF from my laserdiscs and I have applied THX Ultra 2 on several occasions and had information in my rear speakers. And I did not have send to rear speakers enabled in in that menu. I also have very efficient speakers (Klipsch) and use...

Here, here, Michael!! Good advice and an honest opinion.

Robert, Creating a balanced signal is creating 2 potentials instead of one, with the respective sine waves running out of phase with each other, plus a ground. Therefore doubling your voltage output and also doubling your potential for canceling extraneous noise. Sometimes you'll still get...

Minesh, I build my own cables using Belden Quadra something or other (sorry, I just blanked on the exact name) and gold Neutrik connectors. I use them for all of my connections except for my rear speakers, since that amp does not accept them. One of these days when I replace the amp (Adcom...

Well, my AVM20 has been sent back to Anthem. I hope it will be back sooner than later, but at least I'll know it will be in top shape. As far as this cable issue goes, at least coming from a pro standpoint, XLR is ALWAYS the way to go. Get rid of the extraneous noise and double the voltage...

Michael, As one who makes his livelyhood with my ears, I second that thought to run, not walk to a specialist. It cannot be replaced, at least not yet. And once it is gone, it is gone. i applaud all of you purchasing the AVM20's. it was one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime...

Well, my AVM20 went back to the factory today. They had been asking to see it for a while. The upgrade board was replaced and then problems really started. I think my old dealer (no longer an Anthem dealer) buggered it doing the install. So Nick has been asking for it back since November, i just...

What is DPL IIx? Is ti something to enable all 7 channels? If so, just adding THX Cinema to DPL II will do the same, or at least that is indicated when cycling through with the status button. Why else would one want that for the processor? I'm sure there is room for the firewire hardware...

I'm glad to see this released. Anthem must feel confident now. And even if there are no more upgrades in the future, we now have a world class pre/pro that will be relevant for years to come. And at a price point that is awesome for the features and performance.

My settings were not wiped out from 2.09 during beta testing. I went through and redid everything anyway, and also noticed a difference. I saved them first using the setting on the AVM20. I didn't know you could save setting to the website. I had to reset after one processor freakout with the...

Chris, With the new software, you'll be able to switch those speakers, but I don't think you'll be able to turn one or the other off, unless you turn the amps powering them off. I may be wrong, too. Denon receivers did have a feature like that, where you could switch them. I don't remember if...

Geez, now I'm old at something else. I am adjusting to the volume. I don't believe a unilateral cap or preset level would do though, since lots of discs and other program are recorded at significantly different levels, and besides, our own preferences are different. I guess I should admit that I...

Pro, I am getting used to it, but I did suffer one blown sub driver a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, I keep extra drivers because of the high power in use. I'm much better and more judicious in my handling of that now. We're all out of the receiver level of power here and use real high...

Mike, There will be a revised manual available when the upgrade comes out. Are you looking for an entire forum or a thread for the Anthem, such as the one we are posting on?

Well, a new day and new thread. It's fitting for all of the changes and new features becoming available for the AVM20. We had a good run on the other forum, I hope this one does as well. I appreciate the new menu structuring. It seems to flow much better than before, more concise in breadth...

Michael? I may be wrong (nothing new there), but I seem to recall you mentioning some time ago about the possibility of an upgrade. And others, too. But I don't really feel like going over this whole thread again to find those references. It has been a rolling topic here, though. Ha!

I didn't realize that there were trade-up options for anything other than Lexicon products, if that's true for the Aragon Stage One and the ACT3. What would they be trading up to? I'm hoping the upgrade is soon. There have been lots of rumors and innuendo here and other places alluding to...
