Last night I downloaded the anthem calibration tool on my laptop.  I'm running 5 channels,  no sub. Called anthem because I had trouble with the microphone not being detected and also after the USB update on the mrx720 my network became disconnect...

Well I did get my new receiver, mrx 720. Spent Saturday hooking up and doing cable management.  Listened to some music and movies.  Overall happy with sound. Tried to do ARC with my Samsung s9,  but microphone is not recognized with phone. Tried A...

Dweller,The lexicon is a preamp. I don't need extra amp channels.  I have a bat vk 200 2ch and a b&k 3 ch amp. I will only be using 9 channels. 
On order, new receiver
Dweller, It has hdmi 2.0a, hdcp 2.2 and does 11.2, 4 channel atmos. I'm getting for the arc. It does have 7 channel amp, but you can add your own amps to get 11.2.  Everyone seems to rave about the arc and how easy it is to use.  I've heard dirac ... 
Help! Power question
Sleepwalker it is possible to have unbalanced load. When electricians setup panels in residential they do balance loads.  Also I did not say anything in my message that could hurt anyone.  I don't need to pretend,  i have done my share of basic el... 
Help! Power question
I will correct myself. The double pole is taking from both sides. But u should still Check and make sure it is balanced and you don't have all 30, 40 and 50 amp circuits on one side, which would cause phasing issues.

Help! Power question
You may need to balance the load. On the panel should be 2 legs. Put ac on one side and outlet on the opposite leg. 
Back to the drawing board
Yes I do need to correct the room first.  Probably start with a throw rug or 2 on the floors. I am also thinking about some decorative acoustic panels. I have zero experience in room treatment and don't want to waste money and screw it up. 
Back to the drawing board
Well there are a couple of things I need to do prior to adding my subs. Sitting here yesterday and today listening to music and movies, i realized my room is in need of some serious room treatment.  Hardwood floors.  I finally took notice and now ... 
Down to 2 preamps
Erik, avm 60 has balanced outs. My bat is balanced,  but I don't know if it's worth extra 500 to use balance. Plus new cables.  My cables are rca to xlr nordost.  I think when I used the balanced outs on the str I only heard a few more db.
