“The Anthem MRX 1120 is a real reference quality receiver that can be the hub of any home theater. It makes the right choices in what features you need and leaves out the extra ones you will likely never use. I’m happy to have it powering my updated home theater and believe anyone after a reference quality receiver should look at it.”

“Overall, the Anthem MRX 1120 is a fabulously effective AV receiver, and Anthem’s sophisticated room correction is astonishingly effective. Once dialed in, the AVR sounds beautifully precise and balanced. Soundtracks are tight and involving: bass is deep and granite hard, while dialogue remains crisp and articulate.”

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a better-sounding solution short of going with separates. Highly recommended.”

“To put not too fine a point on it, the Anthem MRX 1120 is the best home theater receiver that I have had the pleasure of ever using. It looks deceptively simple on the outside and while it might not have every last bell and whistle that some of its competitors do, the features it does have are the ones that matter and are well thought out. It’s defining characteristic though is its sound quality and the MRX 1120 is truly top shelf in this regard.”

“In many ways, Anthem has redefined expectations around home cinema. For many brands, the category has simply become an arms race about features and functionality. Anthem has stripped all that back to offer a sublime level of performance allied to a truly sensational calibration and room EQ solution. The result is a fabulous home cinema centrepiece.”

“I only hesitate to call the MRX 1120’s stereo performance “perfect” out of fear that Anthem will top it with its inevitable fourth-generation MRX lineup and I’ll have to eat my words.”

“The MRX 1120 is also a very musical AV receiver, making it one of those rare beasts that is able to deliver a barnstorming performance with films and an equally subtle and effective performance with music.”
