Anthem MRX 1120

“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.”
Chris Heinonen // Reference Home Theatre // Read the full review here

 

“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.”
Best Buy // Steve May // Home Cinema Choice // Read the full review here

 

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a better-sounding solution short of going with separates. Highly recommended.”
Sound & Vision Top Pick // David Vaughm // Sound & Vision // October 2016 // Read the full review here

 

“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.”
Carlo Lo Raso // Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity // October 2016 // Read the full review here

 

“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.”
Dennis Burger // HomeTheaterReview.com // September 2016 // Read the full review here

 

“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.”
Steve Withers // AVForums.com // April 2016 // Read the full review here

Anthem MRX 720

“If you’re looking for a great-sounding HT receiver that sounds better than other HT receivers while giving up nothing in features, and is simple to use, give Anthem’s MRX 720 an audition. I’m sure you’ll be as impressed as I was.”
Reviewers’ Choice // Vince Hanada // SoundStage! Access // November 2016 // Read the full review here

 

“If you are in the market for a new surround receiver that is not that expensive, but sounds like it is comprised of better separates, the Anthem MRX 720 should be on your buy list.”
John Gatski // Everything Audio Network // February 2017 // Read the full review here

 

“A high-quality receiver should have the ability to perform well in both stereo and surround modes, and the MRX-720 does not disappoint. Stereo, standard Dolby/DTS surround, or Dolby Atmos, all produced excellent results. There was no sign of amplifier or listening fatigue.”
Robert Silva // Lifewire // August 2017 // Read the full review here

Anthem MRX 520

[Translated] The sound envelope is ample, detailed and full of strength, as in pure stereo the amp never collapses in the face of monstrous sound peaks. The Anthem MRX 520 also supports Ultra HD 4K HDR video, resizing Full HD signals to take them to higher resolution. The result is satisfactory but some TVs or players do even better. This Anthem MRX 520 offers a beautiful musical and multichannel experience, it has temperament and elegantly combines audiophilia and cinephilia.”

“What really impresses us is how articulate, rhythmically precise and musical this AV receiver sounds. It’s punchy enough and fully exciting, but we love how it gives importance to the subtler aspects of sound quality…A terrific performer, this Denon AVR-X6400H would be a worthy addition to virtually anyone’s home cinema room.”

Bowers & Wilkins 700 Series

“Improved materials, optimized computer FEA modeling, and analysis have lead to a speaker line with significant reduction in resonances from the driver baskets, housings, and cone materials. What’s left is a much purer reproduction of sound, truer to the source.”

Denon AVR-X2400H

“Rumbling thunder and explosions sound a little deeper and punchier, leaving the X2300 a touch vague in contrast when it needs to make an impact. The X2400H sounds marginally crisper throughout as well. You can hear slightly more detail in the swish of a cloak or in sharp, shattering glass. Dialogue, in particular, is clearer and packs more emotion.

“The AVR-X2400H offers all the features of its predecessor the AVR-X2300H, but with greater ability for both home theater and music use.”
