Does anybody out there have any experience or thoughts on the Anthem AVM30 preamp processor and/or the Anthem A5 power amp, with or without driving the Energy Veratas 2.3i, 2.2i, or 2.0ci speaker?

I have one, it gets the job done, and doesn't cost a fortune (comparatively speaking). Enough inputs for everything. My only complaints are that it doesn't have enough digital coaxial inputs, a built-in full-featured multichannel EQ, and it doesn't do HDMI (that being reserved for the AVM-40/50/D2 models).
The sound is pretty good. My inputs (source material) seem to be the limitation on my setup (fed by a Pioneer 59avi). I'm using Parasound's Halo Ax1 amps with it, and DIY speakers.
If I had to do it again, I would be tempted by some Arcam stuff, just because it seems more exotic.
At some point I should hook up my standby Pio 1014 and do a comparison for fun, but I don't think I'd hear much of a difference.

This may be an Anthem issue or a Parasound one, but I'm thoroughly confused about it. Here's the question:
I recently switched my interconnects for my system (Anthem AVM30, Halo A21 and A51 amps, plus Behringer BFD for the sub) from RCA to XLR. I dutifully switched the amps to 'Balanced'... -
Ok so here is the deal, tuning and learning. Never really 100% on what I’m doing setting some parts of my stereo \ home theater up. Would like to set it up optimally and learn something too. In asking these questions I am very aware of a few things
1. Many or most specs lie.
2. Good... -
I'm thinking about upgrading my Denon 3805 which is my pre/pro mated to my Parasound Halo A51. I've looked at the Rotels, Parasound, Arcam, Anthem, and others. I will also need a tuner with whatever processor I decide to go with.
I have been leaning toward the Anthem AVM30 due to it's... -
I'm heading to CES to check out Peamps - nothing to exceed $3500.
I'm hoping to get something that is supported for years to come. My old Sony had firmware updates for 3 years after I got it.
I want plenty of quality inputs - optical and RCA (I can't believe some expensive...
