I would look at Amazon for deals on Onkyo- good amps w clean power and excellent DACS for the $$...you can frequently find previous generation models for a good discount. I've had several Onkyos all trouble free....

Havent heard the Anthem, but I recently bought the Yamaha. Excellent so far, and as I recall the DACs in the Yamaha are better. Set up is simple as well. YPAO, Yamaha's version of Dirac type processing, seems to work well, though I manually adjusted some of the settings, especially for the front LaScalas.

Nice room. Your Zu cube sparked my curiosity and hit up their website. A 10" coaxial driver, 98db efficient and not a bad price either. A very compact dynamic speaker for center channel duty. 👍
exactly...that's why it works well...and it matches the La Scalas...

IMHO this whole matching thing is overblown. I have La Scala fronts, Zu Audio cube center, and Sonance VP80 in ceiling surround x4 (7.1)-in ceiling necessitated by room config. It sounds lovely and rocks for movies- good stuff should generally sound good together, and large surrounds arent really needed unless you are looking for ear damaging sound pressure levels. In our last home had an all Deftech system which was great, but compared to what I have now (more musically oriented) I cant see what difference brand and voice matching made....maybe I'm not "audiophile" enough to tell, but I know good when I hear it.....

I don't get why they changed the designation on these, but Klipsch can pretty much do what they want. There must be a lost of people showing up with disposable income. I'm glad they see the value in Klipsch high end products.
new crossover design and new mylar film tweeter as I understand it....

Porsches' EPrix is the test bed for future production cars...so yes, it's relevant, significantly so. Where do you think AMG got to where it is currently, ever watch F1?... I guess I didn't spell that out clear enough, but who cares..... And wow, you tracked a brick, impressive, and didn't know the 3600+ pound SLS was considered hardcore? Enjoy your more affordable $250,000 Tesla roadster...... when it does eventually make it to the dealerships. By then I might be getting ready to spend on a ridiculously priced $140,000 (before options) toy.
On the subject of suspension greatness..... PASM baby.
Cheers!!
Sultan of Snark huh? sounds pretty dickish to me...dont know why people cant have a discussion without acting like jerks...whatever....cheers

doesnt matter its irrelevant in a real world scenario. I've owned AMG Mercedes, and driven them at Circuit of the Americas and Laguna Seca. While that's a blast, and really demonstrates the amazing capability of the car, it isn't something that makes a huge difference in daily use. Unless you are buying these as toys to only race them, the track capability isnt of much use. In addition track capability doesnt always make for a nice road car-suspension is often stiffer and the vehicle less pleasant to drive in ordinary circumstances. I think its no small coincidence that one can find large numbers of hard edge sports cars-Lambo, Ferrari etc...w/ low miles because as real world transport it aint fun. I ultimately sold my AMG. The hard core models like the SLS gullwing would IMHO be unpleasant daily transport. The Porsche may be better in that regard, but I will bet it will be ridiculously priced w less mileage than a comparable Tesla.
Center channel or third floor stander?

mine doesnt match and it sounds great...Zu Audio cube-point source coax tweeter, excellent dynamics-as fast as the LaScalas, great freq. response and efficiency....this is all of course subjective, but to my ears works great....
