    C2 vs. AVC-2500

    Hello folks, I just discovered this forum and I have a few questions...

    I have an older AVC-2500 and when I recently purchased an SACD player I was appalled to find that the volume control doesn't operate on the 5.1 analog input (what the heck were they thinking?) There is an upgrade available but it also requires the bass management EPROM upgrade. I was encouraged by that until I found out the upgrade would cost me over $1000 CDN ($755 + shipping + manpower).

    Now I'm not sure if I want to invest that much in this unit. I'm thinking I'd be better off selling it and using the proceeds and the money I saved to buy a newer processor.

    The C2 looks real good but it seems to have serious limitations w. bass management. Is it true you can't have separate settings for fronts/center/surrounds? Is bass management available on the analog inputs? Is the C2 more upgradable than the AVC-2500 or am I walking into another dead-end? Is the C2 significantly better than the AVC-2500?

    I'm also looking at the Anthem AVM-20 which seems to be more flexible and is cheaper to boot. Any thoughts?

    Thanks

      Any Sylvain Chomet Fans?

      I just finished watching my 3rd Sylvain Chomet film, "The Triplets of Belleville". In most films pictures and sound are used to tell a story. The telling of the story determines what the pictures should be and what is said and what is appropriate foley and music.

      Bass Management...what's a person to do?
      by Andrew Pratt
      There seems to be a lot of talk lately on what bass management should or should not be doing. It also seems that there are a lot of assumptions being made about what, where and how this BM should be invoked. I came across a few links that are interesting and suggest that the problem isn't with X but...
