RE: Anthem AVM50 ARC

Kal,

In the first sentence of my previous post I used the term acoustic room correction. I assume that was the somewhat presumptuous allusion of Anthem in naming their implementation of the technology ARC. My curiosity was raised by a series of posts on Audiogon in which several posters claimed that ARC, and by that I mean using a microphone to capture speaker output so electronic signal processing can be used to shape that output, was so potent it dwarfed other aspects of reproducing sound. That is, the sound of a mediocre processor with ARC would be markedly superior to that of a higher quality preamp without ARC.

I'm skeptical, and a review of the Anthem AVM50 with ARC was not encouraging.
