I had so many Audio gears in my HT set up in the Living Room. The biggest challenge is getting the Acoustics right in the Living Room. So the best solution is going in for Room Correction with the help of the built in software feature in the AV receivers / Processors.
In this connection I had tried many brands / models in all price bands.
look at my this thread

Ultimately nothing could beat Anthem's Room Correction. The main difference between all other system and the Anthem is, your AV receiver / processor should be connected via PC / Lap Top and once you simulate correction the computer takes over through the installed software (which is included with the sales pack). So it is almost like professional calibration that is being carried out in many IMAX and PVRs. Anthem has made it so much calibrated that the serial No. of the each software CD and the Calibration Mic should be the same as they are factory paired and calibrated.
The net result is phenomenal. I am attaching the pictures of the Graphical translation of the Room correction effected by my Anthem D2v processor. In the attached Image the Blue dotted line is the target - Red is measured from the room - Green is achieved after calibration. In fact you may not be able to find the Blue dotted line as the calibrated Green line is almost falling on the Blue. Which means the calibration is so much accurate, and the main thing is it does calibration each channel separately and it has got Two different calibration for Movie and Music. Don't worry it is not that this high end Processor of Anthem only can do this, The ARC kit and the software for their MRX receivers are also the same and you will get the same result in their receivers also.
Before buying this processor I did do this trial with a MRX 300 and 500 receivers in my own set up and after getting satisfied only I ventured out in investing so much on their processor.
So the moral of the story - whom ever has got their set up in Living room and not satisfied in the Sonics and Acoustics can blindly go in for Anthem MRX receivers if they can travel the extra mile of initial investment in the cost. Be sure the difference in the cost that you have to pay is a fragment considering the scale of investment that you have to make on Acoustics in your Living room to achieve the same amount of results.
NOTE: This is purely my experience and this may differ from room to room and setup to setup which is a well known story to all HT lovers. I am no way a dealer for any of the Electronics especially Anthem and I don't endorse their product by this thread, this is purely posted for the benefit of the members. The attached picture is not clear if any one is interested I can mail it in PDF format.
