Anthem New Line-Up of A/V Receivers for 2010.

[LordoftheRings]

That's right, Anthem is coming up with four A/V Receivers, two this month (June 2010).



* I am truly excited! ...Are you?

Thanks for the Info. Do you know US/Canadian pricing? Hmmm...They will make a decent replacement for my Arcam AVR 600 when I trade it in for upgrades.

The one pictured in my first post is the Anthem MRX 500 that retails for 1,500 Euros (less than $2,000 USA).
It is a 7-channel receiver with 100 watts RMS per channel.
The lowest model is the MRX 300 (don't know the price yet).
These two models are supposed to be on sale this month (June).

Coming out later on are the MRX 700 and the flagship model the MRX 900 (again I don't know their prices just yet).

All these four new Anthem A/V receivers feature:
- HDMI version 1.4
- Anthem Room Correction (ARC)
- iPod dock connectivity
- Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD MA, as well Dolby Pro Logic IIz (Front Height channels)

~ And who knows, maybe Amazon will sell them, you never know right?


P.S. By the way your Arcam AVR600 is a heck of a receiver, probably the best of them all for sound quality.
I read a lot about it and it's simply AWESOME!

I' m very interested in these receivers, right now I have the Pioneer sc-07 and I'm not that happy with MCACC. I'm interested in the 700 or the 900 and it looks to be the cheapest way to get ARC, but not sure about the power. What are the power ratings of the 700 and 900?

I wish I had more info as I am also interested by the two higher models.
If I had more on these you can be sure that I would provide it right here in this thread. I can only go by guess at this moment, so here it is:

* MRX 700 -> Should be at least 120 watts per channel (maybe 125/130).

* MRX 900 -> Should be at least 140 watts per channel (maybe 150/200).

And I just don't know their release date yet, perhaps later this summer or fall.

** And with Anthem you can bet that their power is TRUE power, if you know what I mean.
And with ARC, well, if you read already about it, you know as well as me that it is an excellent and very sophisticated Auto Room EQ Correction with lots of parameters and options. These receivers should be a real blast.

But for now we just have to sit tight and wait a little more.

Anthem has released the specs on these 4 receivers( link below ). If I ever replace my Marantz, these will get first look.
