Anthem AVM-2 Any thoughts / comparisons

I am thing about purchasing an Anthem AVM-2. Does any one ahve any experience with this unit? What did you compare it to before making this purchase. I am currently using a Vantas DPA-S50 in a tape loop through my KRC-2. For amplification I have a Krell KSA-250 and an Anthem MCA5. Thanks for you input.

The specs on the unit seems very interesting. I've been unsucessful in finding any information beyond what's on their web site. How do you find running the Vantas through the KRC2 tape loop?

Dhodges, well if you want the single unit to do as good as the Krell pre, the pre/pro has to have an analog pass-through (which the Anthem does) that overall is as good as the Krell pre in stereo. It might be a stretch for you to expect that quality with the Anthem pre/pro.

Antennahead, You mean that you can only have one component bypassing the digital processing? Hmm... This argues in favor of using a very good preamp and the pre/pro, IMHO.
