I have a Sherbourne 7100 and AVM 2.0 and love the combo. Gobs of power, never any strain or clipping, and runs cool, too. The AVM is an awesome performer, too, and Anthem frequently releases firmware updates, so my 4 year old pre/pro has the same capabilities as one that just rolled off the...

I have a 7/2100 and love it. Super powerful, never seems to run out of steam, nor does it run more than warm. I've got a large room (14x23x9) and open to the whole house, but have no problem playing as loud as I can stand. Even at low volume, the detail and soundstage is clear and distinct...

I would much rather have it done by my local dealer, just in the interest of time and money involved in shipping the processor to Canada. If it's as simple as replacing a board and adding/modifying the rear panel any competent tech should be able to do that. I don't know if the AVM has a modular...

Great news about the pending update. Any word if this will also include Dolby Pro Logic IIx? Also, any thought to some kind of auto calibration like the new Denons & Yamahas have? I'm guessing cost and turnaround time still are TBA.

I can't speak for everyone, but I for one welcome the opportunity to use a switcher. My projector has four memory settings that apply globally (independent of input) so I just calibrate for each source, then switch to that memory setting as needed. Using a Harmony remote makes the process very...

I have the 7/2100 along with the AVM 20, and couldn't be happier. I honestly hear details and clarity in cds and dvds which I've owned for years that I didn't know existed. I've had the amp cranked to extremely high volumes and it never gives up, stable and controlled, able to deliver the goods...

No experience with the 30, but the 20 is such a stellar performer if I were you I'd already have the black 20 listed on audiogon. Good luck, enjoy the music!

It is very much a potential jungle. I recently bought a Sherbourne 7/2100 amp through Audiogon from a Florida based seller (I'm in Sacramento). I emailed him a few times, mailed him a check, he waited for it to clear, then sent me a mint condition amp, just as described. Perfect transaction, & I...

Does anyone have any recommendations on multidisc players that also do SACD? I already have a Panasonic RP82 for video & DVD-A, but I'd like to have another player for redbook cds & SACD. Sorry to detour the thread.

If I had the room, I'd keep the boxes, but since I don't, I just cut up the boxes & toss them after the return/warrantee period is over. While true you'll get a little more for having the original box, keeping them around until you need them is more trouble than its worth, at least to me. I'm...

I also will second the vote for the Sherbourn. I have the "old" one, and it is unbelievable. Gobs of power, with balanced inputs, remote trigger capability, and just generally solid (at about 115 lbs that's no joke). For pre/pro, have you considered the Anthem AVM20? I bought one used for...

Congratulations. I hope you'll do the following: 1) Download, read, & reread the manual from Anthem's website. 2) Read the mega-thread relating to the Anthem & ongoing software updates. Just knowing the company actually listens to end users put me over the top when I was looking for my...

I remember reading somewhere NOT to plug the Cinenova into any kind of surge protector. I believe the factory recommendation is to plug it straight into the wall.

George, what you're describing is what many people are doing with the Behringer Feedback Destroyer (BFD). I just bought one, and it looks to be an impresived piece of electronics. Solid state, with ability to do parametric equalization in 1/6 octave increments over whatever frequency range you...

My wish list would be to have built in Auto Calibration Capability, like the new Yamaha & Pioneer receivers. This is something that could be done by a software update only - users would just have to buy a mike, cable, and plug it into the AUX (or other) input. Push a few buttons, & the Anthem...

Randy, Sorry about your Anthem problems. Regarding the XLR cables, I guess I'll go for it - I see them on ebay for very reasonable prices, and if I'm not happy with them I can always re-sell them.

Just curious, what distances are you running with the XLR cables. I've heard it makes a difference over long runs (>20 ft) but not so much on short distances. My AVM is only one shelf above my amp (Sherbourn 7/2100), but IF there's a difference I'll switch from RCA to XLR.

Well, you could get the Rocket ELT minus sub for $699 - many, many raving fans here and at AVSforum. Check them out: www.av123.com For the record, I own Axioms :)

Honestly, I haven't played around with it enough to tell one way or another. But if it was me, I'd probably keep the DC1 & use the money on getting a better dvd, projector, & screen. I just bought the Sanyo Z2 & have a Dalite High Power screen on order ~$2400 for both, including delivery. Even...

Well, the mega-thread relating to the Anthem AVM-20 and its latest upgrade should tell you about Anthem's committment to upgrades and listening to their customers. I have one and love it - mated to Axiom M60's up front with the SVS PB2+ it does a wonderful job with music. But honestly, all...

Thanks for all the replies. I decided to buy a Harmony 659 - maybe I'll sell my dead remote on ebay :)

Tom, I did even better - I just talked to tech support, and the news is not encouraging. It seems I somehow managed to wipe ALL programming, not just the learned stuff. He wasn't sure why I'm not able to reprogram stuff, but the bottom line is it'll take more time (& money) to reprogram this...

I haven't tried removing the batteries, but I don't think it will work. The remote OEM'd by All For One, & their remotes typically have non-volatile memory.

How am I supposed to enter them? Press Main (at the top) then Learn then 0-0-4-0? I tried that but get a long light instead of two blinks. The same thing happens when I try to progam individual devices, such as the dvd player (dvd button at the bottom, then Learn, then 0-4-9-0). How much does...

I just bought a used Anthem with remote, and it was working fine, but I was having trouble getting it to learn new codes for my gear. I read somewhere that this remote is OEM'd by One For All for Anthem, so I tried the Setup-9-8-0 code to clear any previously learned commands, but I seem to have...

I don't know the particular sub your looking at, but I gotta say, I think you might be disappointed. I have a room similar to yours (14x23x9) with large openings to the rest of the house (probably ~10,000 cubic feet), and my SVS PB2 Plus ($1,300) gets the house moving. I'm talking about feel...

Instead of the mega changer have you thought about a 5 dvd changer? You can leave your daughter's dvds in 1 or 2 slots, & use the other slots for your movies and/or cds. My parents have a Panasonic w/progressive scan, etc., that I bought for

I'll second the VTI selection. I just received the BL503 from racks & stacks, and the rack is gorgeous. It takes longer to remove all the packaging from the rack than it does to stack it together, but it is very sturdy. I have a Sherbourn 7/2100 on the bottom (~110 lbs) & an Anthem AVM 20 on the...

Mike, Can you give me a quick rundown of your opinion on the HSU vs. SVS? Also, what did you buy from AIX - it sounds intriguing (pardon the pun).

Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned a budget - I'd like to spend no more than $1300 for the sub, delivered. I would also consider used.
