    Your amplifier is too powerful for this bookshelf. Benchmark AHB2 power amp would really make loudspeakers sing. I used to listen to Motion 15. My 70 watt denon used to make them sing better than 225 watt Anthem MCA 225. With Anthem STR Motion 15 used to sound not nice at all. You have a...

    Perhaps your power amp does not match with bookshelves. This would result in poor sonics even though both Amplifier and loudspeaker are great.

    Tmort will try in future your advise to me. Namely place mic at single location when using ARC. Your system looks great with colorful lights.

    Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier.

    First, in my audio room, over past 4 years, placement of ELS 9 not allow delivery of best possible sonics from system.
