I've read that this receiver does not have any multichannel analog inputs, which would dead-end older SACD/DVD-A players that didn't have HDMI or only had HDMI 1.1.

It also doesn't have phono inputs so people with records are out of luck.

These points should be addressed in the review to help prospective buyers who may be negatively affected by this purchase.

You could buy a phono pre amp.

HI,

I would like to get either in-wall, or on wall speakers for the Anthem, a 5.1 system. Budget of about $6K. Any suggestions for the 5 speakers and subwoofer?

Thanks,
PT
