Why Buy…an Anthem A/V Receiver?

There’s a number of reasons why an Anthem AV Receiver can be a better purchase decision for most clients looking at either building an A/V System from scratch, or replacing an aging AV Receiver with some cutting edge technology. We would like to highlight a few of the reasons to consider an Anthem…

ARC (Anthem Room Correction)
Considered by many pundits (and end users alike) to be the best room correction software on the market today, Anthem’s ARC correction software is game-changing. Rather than rely on an inexpensive, tacked-on chipset within the amplifier, as most mainstream brands do, ARC is designed to harness your computer’s number-crunching prowess and truly eliminate the boundaries and problems within your chosen room. The supplied microphone (complete with tripod) is factory matched to the units it is supplied with, and Anthem supply the calibration file (every mic is tested at the factory). The is a PRO calibration without the cost associated with one!

Dolby Atmos/DTS-X
OK, so most current AV receivers feature these new audio formats, and Anthem have now joined the fray and are on the cutting-edge of these audio technologies and providing them on their new models (MRX-720 and MRX-1120). Anthem’s approach is to provide the “important” features rather than the bells and whistles that other brands throw in to make the feature-count pretty spectacular on paper, but real-world evidence highlights these “jack-of-all-trade” brands tend to be “masters of none”. Anthem products pack no compromises to sonic performance.

DTS Play-Fi
Play-Fi by DTS is a multi-room system that offers limitless music, all driven and controlled with the convenience of an app on smartphone, tablet, or desktop PC. One key feature is the ability to play and support high-resolution (better-than-CD) audio, something some well-known multi-room brands don’t do. Play-Fi is an industry standard, with over 30 brands currently supporting the technology, meaning you are not locked into any one particular product or brand. Better yet, the Anthem MRX-720 and MRX-1120 units offer Play-Fi straight out of the box.

UHD/4K/HDR/HDMI2.0a/HDCP2.2/BT2020
So all the above may seem like gobbledygook, but the important thing to know is the Anthem AVRs support ALL of the above. As 4K/UHD standards have been set, you can be safe in the knowledge that a potential Anthem receiver purchase has you as future-proofed as you can be for 2016 and beyond.

Less is MORE
The best thing about Anthem AVRs is simplicity – from the straightforward remote control (that accesses key everyday features without the need to get lost in a multiple submenu structure) to the way all inputs can be assigned. Why make a product seem complex just for the sake of it?

Performance
All of the above would still be worthless if the performance of Anthem AV Receivers didn’t hit the mark. It does. Most AVRs are dull and lifeless when it comes to music reproduction. The Anthems are engaging, agile, fast and have plenty of raw power under their hoods to let your movies and music truly shine. All backed with a three year warranty.
