    Anthem A5 or P5

    Schan would it be ok to ask you how much you paid for your P5. They claim it retails for $9500 now , but I have another dealer in town who can get it for $5800. I know you guys in the states get much better pricing then us Canucks

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Well the hands are the issue lol Tell you truth I'm sure that after seeing there quote I will have to tough it out and build it myself .I'm just happy that I seen this example as it will have no structural integrity issues IMO , and isn't that challenging to make if I take it on . It will give...

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Schan I'm glad you piped up as you've made me try to find alternatives for my stereo stand dilemma . Anyways I seen this example on the web and I am going to get one made similar . Mine is going to have the shelves spaced for the equipment though , say an inch clearance from the top of each...

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Well I guess the bad news is if an active cross over is used I have to take my studio 100's apart to remove the passive ones.,well at least bypass some section of them as there's 4 different types of drivers I believe .I'm amazed at the prices for the active crossovers though , I thought they...

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Well schan that would make more sense . I was a hardcore car audio guy so I'm no stranger to x-overs etc. Just don't know how much hassle it is in the home audio domaine . Seems like an expensive complicated pain in the butt so far

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Ok back to the drawing board . Another option (although crazy ) is to purchase two Anthem MCA 50's . This way I can bi amp all 5 speakers and have all kinds of headroom . They will fit the Sanus rack without any issues . Does it sound weird having one amp powering half a speaker and another amp...

    Anthem A5 or P5

    Thank you for the reply . I could see you displaying the P5 as IMHO it's a work of art . I don't believe there is such a thing as to much power ,as I believe it's never a bad thing having a lot of headroom . May I ask how you powered your home theatre system ? I was told not to use my line...

    Well I uploaded some albums in lossless WAV format to my Dell 6400 precision laptop which is running windows xp and connected it to the network and no issues .The marantz handles WAV so either I have done something wrong with the net hd or it won't work the way people have claimed . I have no...
