Re: Sierra-1 NrT = HT. Towers = Music ?
I used a Yamaha AS700 with my Sierra 1's(NrT) in a stereo setup & I later move them to my rxv 1800... after selling the 700. I preferred the 1800 YPAO over the integrated amp...using a flat EQ curve I had decent results & was very satisfied on how my Sierra 1's and eventual towers sounded. I know a lot has being discussed about Yamaha having a certain type of sonic signature having come from a Denon 38xx...they (sigs)could in fact exist...I've never experience these anomalies between other brands but with REQ or DSP...well that's another matter...
I will say Anthem's ARC...changed everything from my POV. Upon completing my 5 position in room calibration and starting ARC the sound stage from the outset seemed more spacious giving me this airiness feeling as though we moved into a larger room...with YPAO it sounded smaller or more centralized to the listening position & I never had the seamless transition with my main & sub... as I do now...with ARC engaged it simply sounds better.
