    Universal Remote Survey

    If you are a button type of guy, Hometheatermaster MX-700 works for me. Programs from your computer after you install the editor, and if by chance a device is not in data base, learning is a snap. I had six, now I have one.

    Ordering Paradigms?

    Unless I am wrong, that center chanel speaker is very large. Hope your tv can support it. MY experience with Studio 40's is it takes about 100 hrs to break them in. Sounded a might harsh at first, but now fantastic pushing them with my Anthem Amp.

    Newbie needs opinions for prepro and amp..

    I just purchased the Anthem Products you mentioned, and you may be able to get both for about $4000. In that range, the Anthem is tops in my book. Good luck. By the way, I am on the east coast.
