Jeff- Thanks for the post. I look forward to hearing the results of your comparison. What AMP will you be using with the Anthem, and are you using 7.1?
2 or 6 channel analog audio is not important to me. I would just be using it for movies. I realize based on comments here that the AVM-20 beats the B&K when it comes to 2 channel sound, but I haven't heard any thought on movies. Does anyone know what the AVM-20 $300.00 upgrade will add later...
