Hi, nevetts77
I played multi channel for years (that's what Marantz calls Anthem's all channel I guess, sending 2.0 to the fronts, center and surrounds, but not up mixed to the height channels). Also like the headphone like effect, but tended to dial back the surrounds some to give a front sound stage effect also.
Now I'm into Dolby Surround, which comes with ATmos firmware, and uses all nine channels, and love how it seems to create a concert hall sound. The effect may be closer to the music setting in your Anthem, in that it also blends in ambient sounds to the other channels and keeps the sound stage in front. I don't know what logic it uses to do this, but it varies some with the 2.0 recording. Really older CD material tends to be less well distributed, even some stuff plays on fronts or center only. The more recent recordings play best.
Do you have/play 5.0 or 5.1 music?
Happy listening!
